My Messy Journey with NBA 2K25 Cheat Tables
Alright folks, let me tell you about my headache dive into NBA 2K25 cheat tables today. Buckle up.
Started simple. Fired up NBA 2K25 on my PC like usual. Played a few games, got frustrated missing easy shots, wanted that edge back. Remembered cheat tables used to work okay-ish in older versions. Figured, why not try for 25? Went hunting online.
Found a forum post mentioning a cheat table file. Downloaded it quick. Had the trusty Cheat Engine ready – used it years back for simple stuff. Opened up Cheat Engine first. Easy enough.
Then launched NBA 2K25 proper. Waited for it to load into the main menu. Switched back to Cheat Engine. Went to click that little computer icon up top to pick the game process.
First problem hit me: Scrolled through that process list… and scrolled… and scrolled. Where the heck was the *? Panic mode started creeping in. Searched manually for anything “2K” or “NBA”. Nada. Just a huge list of background junk.
Took a deep breath. Restarted the whole game. Watch the process list like a hawk this time. Saw “*” pop up for a second! Clicked it fast in Cheat Engine. Success? Not yet.
Now for the cheat table file itself. Went to File > Load. Picked that CT file I downloaded earlier. Cheat Engine loaded it, showed me a list of possible cheats like:
- Unlimited VC Points
- Max All Attributes
- Disable Fatigue
- Always Green Release
Felt promising. Clicked the little box next to “Unlimited VC Points” to activate it.
Nothing happened. Switched back to the game, tried to buy something. “Not enough VC”. Great. Went down the list, tried “Max All Attributes”. Played a quick game. Stats still looked normal, my player missed an open dunk. Are you kidding me?
Tried the classic trick: restart Cheat Engine after loading the table and attaching to the process. Did that dance.
- Open CE
- Open Game
- Attach to Process
- Load CT
- Enable cheat
- Restart CE again
- Re-attach…
Still nothing. Game felt stubbornly normal. Got annoyed. Checked the forum again. Saw someone saying for this version, you gotta do things BEFORE loading your MyCareer save, right when the game starts. Tried that next. Opened CE and the game fresh. Attached immediately. Loaded the CT. Enabled “Always Green Release”. Then loaded my MyCareer save file.
Played a game. Took a shot. Release timing popped up… still yellow. Missed the shot. Seriously?
Here’s where the old frustration kicked in: This felt just like trying cheat codes back on my busted PS2 as a kid. You’d type in some crazy long Konami code variant from a scribbled notebook page, fingers crossed. Half the time, nothing happened. The disc might spin weird, the screen might flicker, and bam – back to struggling normally. You never knew if the code was fake, you typed it wrong, or the disc was just scratched to hell. Wasted afternoons on pure hope.
That’s exactly what this cheat table felt like. The hope, the steps, the meticulous process, the downloaded file… all potentially just digital snake oil. Maybe the table file itself was bunk. Maybe 2K patched it already. Maybe my Cheat Engine version is outdated. Who knows? It’s guesswork in the dark.
Ended up giving up. Shut it all down after wasting a good chunk of the afternoon. My player is still bricking shots, I’m still low on VC, and I remember why I mostly just play the game straight these days. This cheat table thing? Feels less like unlocking the game and more like wrestling with gremlins in your machine for maybe, possibly, a tiny taste of advantage. Just like those unreliable PS2 codes all over again.
