While the Celtics star will be present on the covers of the All-Star and Standard editions, there will four different choices available for the community. Let’s take a look at all the available editions, and their prices, and decide which one you should buy.

All NBA 2K25 editions

As mentioned earlier, all four editions are different from each other in terms of their prices and what they offer. All editions have one thing in common – the base game. The pricier editions naturally offer more items and in-game goodies.

  • MyTEAM Promo Pack x2
  • MyPLAYER Gameplate x1

The Trendsetter rewards are also available with all NBA 2K25 editions, given you buy and play at least once before October 17, 2024.

  • Trendsetter Cosmetic Set x1

Which NBA 2K25 edition should you buy?

The choice is pretty simple. If you’re not going to play MyTeam, just opt for the Standard edition. This is perfect for anyone looking for a casual experience with friends. You can also play all the modes at your own pace, and the MyNBA eras are perfect for someone looking to enjoy a dynasty experience.

If you’re someone like me and want to enjoy the more competitive modes like MyPlayer and MyTeam, it might be worth going for the All-Star edition. The extra items you get are advantageous (but don’t expect those to have an impact for long). The Hall of Fame edition is only worth buying if you want to watch NBA in real life, as getting the pass separately is going to cost more money.
