Top 10 NBA 2K25 fan-created celebrities featured as playable characters in roster mode
In NBA 2K25, console players will have access to rosters that were created by PC users.

With face scans, PC players are able to make unique players that are incredibly lifelike, free from the restrictions of the in-game player creator on consoles. As a result, fans are now able to play as some well-known celebrities.
