PCBasket 2K25: EuroLeague Roster for NBA 2K25

PCBasket 2K25 is set to be the most realistic and faithful EuroLeague roster for NBA 2K25. Created by Shuajota, this fifth version promises to revolutionize the recreation of European basketball in the game. Known to many fans, the roster has made a significant impact in the 2K community over the years, accumulating over a million downloads across all versions since its first release. However, this new mod marks a pivotal moment as it is the first version to be released on the "new gen" of NBA 2K25, now available on the Steam platform.

The Challenge of Creating PCBasket 2K25

With NBA 2K25 being a completely new game structurally, editing the roster has been far from easy due to several inherent limitations. Despite this, PCBasket 2K25 will feature the EuroLeague in the most realistic way possible. Unlike previous versions, this edition will exclusively include the 18 EuroLeague teams, focusing on quality over quantity. 

On the new-gen platform, players can limit the number of teams, allowing for a more authentic league experience with only EuroLeague teams. PCBasket 2K25 will be playable in both PlayNOW and MyNBA Eras modes, with an additional Scenario version. Once the artwork is installed, fans can easily download the scenario, accessing a pre-configured league with EuroLeague teams and regulations.

The Most Realistic EuroLeague Experience in NBA 2K25

PCBasket 2K25 offers a completely new experience by replacing the NBA, specifically the modern era of the NBA, with the EuroLeague. This version of the roster creates a unique, more faithful experience than ever before, providing something that has never been seen in NBA 2K. Every aspect of the artwork has been meticulously crafted from scratch, with the highest possible texture resolution. 

Team logos, uniforms, and courts have been designed using the best tools available, ensuring exceptional visual quality. The cyberfaces integrated into this roster will look so realistic that they could be mistaken for 2K face scans, with an impressive level of detail that takes immersion to the next level.

What Does the PCBasket 2K25 Roster Include?

This focus on quality and visual detail aims to provide players with an experience that will blow them away, creating a representation of the EuroLeague in NBA 2K25 like never before. PCBasket 2K25 features all 18 EuroLeague teams, each with updated logos, courts, arenas, uniforms (including alternate uniforms for some teams), EuroLeague basketball, referee uniforms and an EuroLeague theme for the different game´s menus. The roster includes:

• ALBA Berlin

• Anadolu Efes

• AS Monaco

• ASVEL Villeurbanne

• Armani Milan

PCBasket 2K25 is not just a roster; it's a complete EuroLeague experience designed to bring the highest level of realism and quality in NBA 2K25. Jovankezzz, Nikos, Bikerjimuk and vik991 have collaborated with Shuajota to make this possible. Special thanks to VanSardo, who, although unable to contribute this year, was an important part of last year’s project, and part of his designs have been used as a reference for this new project. And thanks to 4thQtrKai for his contribution, which has been very useful in editing different aspects of the roster.

FAQ

Q1. On which platforms will it be available? 

A1. PCB 2K25, also known as PCBasket 2K25, will be available for NBA 2K25 on PC (Steam). Unfortunately, mods don't work on consoles. However, since PC is cross-platform, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users will be able to export player attributes to their own roster if they wish to create a roster on their console.

Q2. Will access to the mod be free or paid?

A2. The mod will be paid, although despite being a massive project (everything has been created from scratch using paid editing tools and add-ons that required a financial investment as well as an incalculable amount of time), the price will be quite affordable compared to other paid mods in the community. You’ll gain access to exclusive, top-quality content: team logos, uniforms, courts, arenas, cyberfaces, and many things that brings the recreation of European basketball closer to reality than ever before.

Q3. Why will it be a paid mod if previous versions were free?

A3. This project was not initially planned to be undertaken due to the significant time required and the limited time available for modding, as the creators—only three people—have very little time to dedicate to such a massive project. Creating PCB 2K25 has been no easy task. NBA 2K25 lacks the editing tools available in previous years, which has made the editing process significantly more challenging. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, a financial investment has been made in editing tools and add-ons to access and edit files that are entirely new due to this being a next-gen version. On top of that, an immense amount of time has been dedicated to making this project a reality.

Will there be more teams like EuroCup, ACB, FIBA, or others? 

No, in PCB 2K25, quality is valued over quantity. In new gen, there is the option to limit the number of teams to 18 when creating a MyLEAGUE in MyNBA Eras, which was reason enough to discard the idea of adding more teams that would only delay the project further and prevent focus on aspects that couldn’t be addressed in previous years. The goal of the project is to create the most realistic EuroLeague experience possible, and that starts by focusing exclusively on the teams that participate in the best European basketball league.

When will PCB 2K25 be released? 

 There is no estimated release date, as none of the creators of this project make a living from it. This is a hobby, and there is no set deadline, so progress will be determined by the available hours of each team member. Updates on the progress will be shared here and on various platforms such as X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Discord.

Will there be realistic cyberfaces for players? 

The idea is to progressively include cyberfaces for at least the most important players of each team. This year, the process is even more complex than in previous years. It has been necessary to pay for an add-on that allows importing the models into Blender to work on them. Even with years of experience in 3D design, each cyberface takes an average of about 10 hours of work in the best-case scenario, meaning the design of a single player takes several days. This is shared here to make the community aware of the effort behind each recreation and how difficult it is to create something like this.

Can I play online with friends? 

 Yes, in NBA 2K25 there is the possibility to play a MyNBA Eras online by pre-loading the PCB 2K25 roster. It is essential that everyone plays from the Steam version with the artwork previously installed.
