NBA 2K26 is just around the corner (Take-Two Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A fan has revealed how much he spent on in-game currency in NBA<\/a> 2K25, as he warns others about following in his footsteps.<\/p>\n

Free-to-play games have paved the way for predatory microtransactions<\/a> in a litany of titles, and while it’s easy to blame companies for enabling these practices, sometimes you have to turn the mirror on ordinary players.<\/p>\n

Microtransactions are often associated with skin cosmetics in titles like Fortnite<\/a>, but there are plenty in full priced games too \u2013 especially sports games like EA Sports FC 25<\/a>, which still uses what are essentially loot boxes for the Ultimate Team mode.<\/p>\n

These virtual collectible cards are prevalent in other sports games like NBA 2K25, and for one player they’ve cost him upwards of $32,000.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on his channel, YouTuber<\/a> 2KOG breaks down his transaction history in NBA 2K25 over the past year. Within 11 months from September 4, 2024 to August 5, 2025, he claims to have spent $32,831,68 (\u00a324,384) on the basketball<\/a> sim.<\/p>\n

As seen in the video, the bulk of these transactions have gone towards virtual in-game currency for MyTeam cards – NBA 2K’s equivalent of Ultimate Team – along with season passes.<\/p>\n

2KOG isn’t proud of this number though, and clarifies he’s in an unusual position where he can afford to spend this amount of money. ‘Most of you know I have a normal 9-5 type job, I also own my own business,’ he said in the clip.<\/p>\n
