any way i can play old-gen version of this game?

the next gen version of every single 2k is almost always worse than the current gen version. the dribbling is heavier, city is worse, and the game is just horrible to run. the current gen versions always have a great dribbling system unlike next gen. in ps5 or xbox systems, you always have a option to play the current gen version if you want, so im hoping they will try to do that.

On 9th gen (PS5 and Xbox Series), you have the option of playing the 8th gen (PS4 and Xbox One) version of the game through backward compatibility. It's not a switch on the 9th gen version of the game.

As there is no PC version of the 8th gen version of NBA 2K25, there is no way to play it on PC.
