NBA 2K25 is changing the game. In the new update, Gravity Ball Mode was added. In a bid to redefine how you experience the court, Gravity Ball introduces a physics-based mechanic. The new mode takes skill, strategy, and realism to the next level.
What Is It?
Gravity Ball adds a new level of strategy to the game. By manipulating the ball’s weight, altering its movement in the air, and adding a gravity-based feel to every shot, pass, or dribble, you can experience NBA 2K25 in a new light.
Specifically, the ball’s movement is influenced by gravitational forces that vary depending on the player’s position, physical attributes, or proximity to others. For example, larger players might experience higher gravity levels and a heavier ball. The same is true for guards cutting through the defense; except they could see the ball ‘lighten up’ to increase finesse and control.
The gameplay implications are massive. Now, players need to factor in the weight of their moves. A three-pointer feels different from a fast-break layup. It is not just the style of the shot, but the weight. Feeling the shot is now more important than ever.
It is the same for passing and defense. Deflecting a pass, or intercepting the ball now requires even more attention to timing. This is the true test of skill.
Final Take
Gravity Ball is not just a new feature. In fact, it’s a challenge. A thrill that elevates the game and your experience. Last year, EA said that NBA 2K25 would reach new levels of immersion; and Gravity Ball lets you experience the game like never before.
However, fan reactions are mixed. Some are praising EA’s creativity with the new feature. Others simply say it brings life to NBA 2K25. However, most are disappointed that it incurs an $8 price tag.
