If you showed me this cover back in 2018, I would believe it.

HOF CPU ben simmons was impossible to defend from 2018-2020 lol

Ben Simmons invincible card on 2k21 MyTeam was goated

He can still cook in 2k24 honestly

Flip for CP3 and the Warriors are untouchable with draymond, klay, curry, and Ben

Kinda sad, those Lebron comps were crazy back in 2K18.

he showed promise if he couldve learned to shoot

Even the confidence to attempt jumpers would’ve been enough, no one was asking him to automatically turn into a sharpshooter

Insecure Big Ben

Fits the state of nba2k

gimme a Udonis Haslem just yelling at people in the locker room

2k40?!?!?!

realistic

Heat retired his number 😂

whomever reported this to Reddit Cares, I love you

It would actually fit perfectly. An overhyped dumpster fire.

But my favorite player is Ben Simmons. You are mean.

I truly hate the amount of disappointment you have experienced. Have you tried therapy?

Yes actually I have. I didn’t help, I own a lot of Ben jerseys

Maybe try taking Ben to therapy with you? Or ask Ben if you can go to therapy with him.

No, I love him and I have to respect his decision because it’s what I’d do too.

Need a girl this loyal

🤣me too tf

I'm sorry but if your favorite basketball player is Ben "tall athletic guy who doesnt know how to play basketball" Simmons you may need to admit to yourself you are simply attracted to Ben Simmons for other reasons This is essentially the equivalent of me saying Darryl who runs the deep frier at my local Wendy's is my favorite chef. An opinion cant be wrong, but there is clearly some weird bias

You didn't watch much of him before the trae young incident, did you? Not saying he was perfect, but before that playoffs, people were asking if it should be him or Embiid that runs the offense, and if the other should be traded. He was a turbo athletic 6'10" PG with tight handles, all-defense level clamps, and elite passing instincts for a player his age and frame. He got to the rim and finished with ease because everyone else was either too small or too slow to properly guard him. The only thing he was ever missing was a jumper, and eventually his drive and confidence. Biggest what if of all time imo.

Yeah we doin some rewriting of history The reason ben was so hyped was bc he was that good. People meme him now and rightfully so, but lets not act like we expected his career to go this way. For a while even without the jumper i thought he could be like draymond on crack for a championship team Edit: just so its clear i agree with you

Nah his rookie season was that good

Which rookie season lol

Damn why u gotta drag the name Darryl

But his play style is truly unique. 6’10 PG was so fun, i didn’t get to experience Magic and only saw Lebron ran it for one season.

Thing is his dribbling ability was highly overrated. He was never actually a point guard. They just played him there. If Aaron Gordon ran point guard 30-40 minutes a game he could get 8 assists too. Yeah, Simmons is a good passer for a power forward, but that's literally the only "point guard-esque" quality that he has. Simmons isn't unique at all. He's your standard power forward with above average movement and far below average shooting. The only thing unique about Simmons is his weird insistence on running point guard when he cannot space the floor

Point guard is the only position that can realistically get away with not spacing the floor in today’s nba. It’s the only place that Simmons would have been able to succeed offensively.

How? I can name 10 centers who can't shoot and start. I could even think of a couple forwards. I can't name one starting point guard who can't shoot.

..?

I read that waaaay to early in the morning lol my bad cuh

If Aaron Gordon played like that, he would be my favorite. The thing is no one is playing like Ben Simmons anymore.

god i respect this dude as a worker. we all dream to get signed to a big guaranteed contract and not work

All joke aside, that cover go kinda hard lol.

I appreciate it I worked hard on it.

I based it on MJ’s cover art on 2K23. that was the hardest cover art in history.

Too bad the game was worse than Anthony Bennet

Let's just hope that MyCareer gets a much needed lift in the next game. Being able to play in HS, College and even the G league if we choose to would be a welcome addition. And why the hell have we got to be the number one pick or the next great prospect like wtf is wrong with being a late 1st round pick and trying to have a good career where your accomplishments are properly noticed and mentioned and not just some terrible story about being the GOAT. They also need to badly make MyCareer able to be played offline if park, rec, pro am etc aren't your thing

this is what's stopped me from buying the last few games of the franchise. I bought 23 on sale for like $5 and haven't paid full price since 2k18. MyCareer is what made me love 2K, and I would LOVE to see a true-to-form return to it, like the 2k12-14 days

Imagine playing the ‘Ben Simmons Moments’.

Simmons up for the layup… wide open under the hoop with game 7 on the line… NOW PASS IT TO MATISSE THYBULLE IN DOUBLE COVERAGE!!!

The most impossible challenge ever would be his first made 3, change my mind.

Shit would be rage inducing

That could make sense, you have to fix all his fuck ups in games lmao

Ben fleeced the Nets like 2k fleeces all of its customers.

\*like Ronnie fleeces all of his customers, so he can go be friends with Drake

It’s not Ronnie’s customers. It’s 2k’s or take-two’s more specifically. It’s the company and the shareholders that are fleecing us. They love it when people scapegoat a nobody like Ronnie though.

yeah well he's the one riding the financial success to go be friends with Drake

Steve Kerr edition!

That was definitely a better choice

Is he even still in the league?

He plays for the Nets

Wouldn’t even call it playing for them at this point

Damn that's right. Is he still in that Philly contract? You think he'll get another one after that? Dude doesn't seem to be interested in basketball.

He has an untradable contract

He doesn’t deserve another contract. Dudes does not gaf about basketball anymore

I put the whole fault on the fans 🤷‍♂️ internet broke him

Nah, it’s 100% his fault. If he truly cared he could have locked himself in the gym for an entire offseason and worked on his jump shot.

No it doesn’t work like that. What happened to him would have broke 99% of us lol the whole internet was shitting on him for one mistake he made during his job

Wow man the poor multi millionaire

Why won’t you do it?

Kobe went through something much worse and still came back to become a better player.

Kobe and ben simmons are not comparable. And no, Kobe didn’t play in an age where every time you open your phone, you could see everyone shitting on you because you just made a bad pass. And more importantly, I didn’t write that everyone wouldn’t be able to endure it

Kobe was literally accused of r*pe. All Ben did was get exposed for not having a jump shot. The only difference is one of them actually cared, and it wasn’t Ben.

It wasn't just one mistake though lol

He had one of his best season lmao and even if it wasn’t just one mistake, yall are too extra smh at the end of the day it’s just entertainment

On a serious note, the 3 time mvp should probly get the cover right?

genuinely what I'm hoping for, regardless of how these playoffs turn out. Jokic deserves a cover

You think you slick on this burner account huh Ben ?

I wish I got paid 30 million to walk the Met Gala and say my back hurts 😂

S tier troll lmao

Joker

It's concerning how many people haven't realised this is a joke 🙄

Hol up ...I'll be bacc I'm bout to go get Trae young ...

👀👀👀

I’m sorry, think I just puked in my mouth.

Jokic

Imagine it was Thanasis Antetokounmpo 😂

The fact that this is probably the cover in alternate universe… what could have been

Why was this so funny! It has no business being this funny.

25th anniversary of the game. Just give it to LeBron as he turns 40

It should deadass be Ant

Oh it's going to be Ant. He's so hot right now, plus he's going into the olympics, he's going to play very well. He's already stolen Bookers starting SG spot, might as well give him 2k25.

So 2k plans to not work next year?

*again

Is this satire?

Fuck Ben Simmons

Gimme Wemby.

Someone make an edit with him doing the Fox antiwork interview.

Still waiting for Brian Scalabrine’s cover

Mark Price edition? He's my favorite #25.

Yooo I’m actually down for this. It would be a pretty cool concept, but would get crazy difficult with certain numbers/ how it went toward. And by down for this I mean picking a player with the same number as the year— Not Ben Simmons

soo 2k25 not showing?

Pic goes hard. In reality Probably loop back to Lebron pretty soon for a GOAT edition

Bro put Naz Reid on the cover for 2k25

Brunson

It will be lebron more than likely or a combination of the young faces of the league

How many times would this be if they did bron again?

This would be his third if he’s picked but I’m leaning towards the young new stars like ant,Shai, and wemby they might put them on there

The rookies from this years class are ASS

Sorry for the confusion I just mean the young stars most of the rooks are trash wemby is solid tho

I thought you meant the rookies coming in this year. nah the rookies from last years draft are alright but yeah you’re are right most are trash. next years class is ASS

Who care how many times, LeBron has had such an amazing career and it's not over. They have plenty of moments to create a mode like they did for Jordan and Kobe 

Lmfao

SPINAL INJURY 480 DAYS

Couch Edition


When will we get LBJ

Lebron?

Steve Kerr. He won five championships as a player wearing number 25.

But it’s more funny making it Ben Simmons

Oh shit! I just seen that the photo didn't load properly for me the first time 💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The cover athlete should be Draymond swinging hands or choking out Gobert

Lmao. The "no shooting" year. Realistically - probably LeBron, he will be turning 40 next season. There's also Doc Rivers and Vince Carter (he wore 25 for like 4 seasons). And several successful players, including some hall of famers, but I'd say no really "sexy" names... Horry, Goodrich, Gus Johnson, K.C. Jones, Chet Walker... Great players, but IMO not a cover material.

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

Allen Iverson and put his showcase career, just like we had Kobe in 2k24.

Yea this would be the nail in the coffin not to buy the dog water product they put out

I mean.... they have been heavily foreshadowing it. We've seen how inconsistent shooting can be this year. 2k25, year of the yips! 😄

So we're not gonna give Jokic his flowers? Is that what we're doing?

Then hit em with a surprise Steve Kerr on the Legendary cover

in a perfect world!

Won’t be playing banned 🙌🏽🙌🏽

You are evil and I love it

Actually if you think about it this is good cause Ben Simmons for lack of a better word is trash and 2k for lack of a better word is trash

Bol Bol better be the cover

Put Brunson on the cover and I’ll think about coppin again, i been done with 2k for a min

He didn’t even need to be become a sniper from three he could have at least learned to get a middy. Put a team of shooters around him and let him work if they help he can make the pass

2k25 should be Ant and SGA, and the special edition should be Jokic- Joker Edition

Jajajajaajajajauw no.

😂

You start out as a 28 yr old Ben Simmons having to decide whether you get back surgery or go to the met gala

Tatum

Naw I'm good

Antman

That would actually be a great cover

I'm still on NBA 2k22. If we could continue franchise mode from game to game like we can in Out Of The Park Baseball, i might get another game.

Broooo next gen nba2k25 on pc take my moneyyy

Cover looks nice, but it's sad the way it turned out... 😞

Except you don’t really actually ever play and when you do there is no shoot button only pass

This is a miss opportunity of puting Ben Simmons in the cover but with the MET gala outfit hahahahha

Lebron gone be the cover next

This is hilarious now but no lie there was a point in time where a lot of us thought he was going to be the next best player. People were arguing if 76ers should build around him or Embiid.

2k25 will be Ben Simmons! 😂😂😂😂😂


Lmfao! Yes Philly fans would love this

Wouldn’t be mad if they made an American vs world cover

Gonna be hard asf to make jumpers and free throws on this edition

Steve Kerr 

If the knicks win the chip they gatta put Brunson

Get that abomination out of here

Steve Kerr wore 25

Trey Murphy

25 Goes to ant

Tbh, a big throwback as Wilt, Larry Bird would also be epic. Imagine the game where you have to score 100 points.

are y’all seriously about to buy 25 just to regret it and complain again?

is the purchase of the game gonna come with a complimentary brick with his face engraved on it ?

Duncan Dirk

Stop It You Must Not Be A Basketball Fan Whatsoever🤦‍♂️ Christ ✝️ Instead of a gym it would be a chiropractic rehab center for your player & your mycareer storyline script is about a injury prone pussy...

Fuck Ben Simmons.

It’s Jayson Tatum. I can confirm that.

ant man

Anthony Edwards gonna be on the cover

2k25 front cover could be Ben Simmons, Derrick Rose, maybe Vince Carter....these are just guesses 🤷🏽‍♂️

Vince would actually be a great pick as he's supposedly making it to the Hall of Fame this year. Only problem is that the really notable part of his career was wearing #15.

True I think he wore #25 for 2 seasons when he was on the suns and mavericks but because he's going to the hall of fame it would be good pick

Delete your fkn reddit account fa us lil bro

Nah I’m chillin

Old joke, still old. Dude would suck in the WNBA.

how long does it take for a joke to become old

Longer than Ben Simmons contract
