NBA 2K25 with Controller Issues and Crashing on Startup, Players Report Problems on PC
Problems with instant crashing or with a controller in NBA 2K25? Here’s everything we know about these issues.
NBA 2K25 has been highly anticipated by fans, and many were eager to get their hands on the game early. However, the launch has been marred by technical difficulties that have left some players frustrated. In this article, we will analyze what’s happening and why.
NBA 2K25 Launch Issues – Controller Problems and Crashing on Startup
NBA 2K25 is officially launching in a few days, but those who purchased the Early Tip-Off Edition can start playing today. The game has already captured the attention of many players. Unfortunately, a significant number are encountering frustrating issues, such as instant crashes and problems connecting to the servers. Suffice it to say, it’s been a rough start, and these technical imperfections have overshadowed the excitement of the early release for many players.
Another common problem involves the controllers, which either aren’t working properly or are being recognized as keyboards. Some players have even observed that their characters are moving on their own. What’s particularly strange is that these issues were also reported in previous titles. Fortunately, there are many YouTube tutorials (like this one from Get Droid Tips, or this one by AarohanTechSol) on how to fix these issues. The usual solution is to disconnect all peripherals, launch the game, and then reconnect them along with the controller. It’s also recommended to use your gamepad with a cable connection.
If the above is not enough for you, the only option left may be to wait for a patch from the developers to address these problems. In the meantime, you can reach out to the game’s support team on their Discord or through the official website.
