How to Get Unbanned from NBA 2K25 in 2024

The only way of getting unbanned from NBA 2K25 is by submitting a ban appeal to its Support, 2K.

Being a sports game, and a PvP one as well, there are quite a few reasons to land a ban in 2K25, especially considering that 2K takes any rule-breaking very seriously.

That said, although the most common offenses in this game are toxicity and RMT, let’s go over the ban reasons, as this will be an important part of your ban appeal.

What Gets an Account Banned in NBA 2K25?

The restriction reasons are somewhat similar to those behind EA FC 25 account bans (or any other sports game for that matter).

Thus, here’s what can lead to getting banned from 2K25:

• toxicity towards other players (including offensive names, harassment, rude behavior);
• real-money transactions, such as purchasing VC from unofficial / third party sources;
• quitting games;
• cheating by using third party software or any type of automation tool;
• account sharing and boosting other players (or getting boosted yourself);
• win-trading or losing on purpose;
• making use of bugs, exploits or glitches to your advantage.

Also, keep in mind that the game might have the open mic enabled by default as you go online. This had previously lead to quite a few toxicity bans, as the players thought they were just talking to themselves but instead, got reported.

To turn off the microphone in 2K25, go to Options -> Settings -> scroll down and drag both the Voice Mic Volume and Voice Output Volume all the way back to 0. Additionally, you can also disable the Social voice chat by going to Social Menu -> Options -> Voice Chat -> Disabled.

For a more thorough review of the Terms and Conduct Code, here’s Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Make sure to give it a read, especially if you think that any of your in-game actions can be frowned upon (or warrant reports from other players).

Having that said, let’s move on to see how you can unban your 2K25 account!

Getting Unbanned from 2K25

To get your account unbanned from NBA 2K25, you must submit a ban appeal via 2K’s Support Center.

Here’s how to go about it:

Attach any relevant files, if any, then click on the red “Submit” button underneath the form.

This will send your 2K25 ban appeal to 2K for a review, and they’ll get back to you with an answer via the email you put in the form.

2K25 Ban Appeal Tips

Even though it may seem obvious, always make sure to be on your best behavior when contacting 2K (or anyone, really).

This means you should refrain from being offensive, rude, or threatening, no matter how they respond. Along with that, here are a few suggestions:

• include as many details about your ban as you can (attach any evidence you have, such as screenshots, logs, or documents, to the ban appeal form above);
• if you choose a defense strategy, stick with it – don’t change it based on their reply;
• don’t blame a friend or sibling for the ban, as account sharing is also against the rules and can result in a ban;
• don’t bump your ticket if they haven’t gotten back to you fast enough – they might just be a bit behind on work;
• own up to any restrictions due to toxic behavior – demonstrating that you’ve changed, along with patience and understanding, is the only way to get a second chance.
