If you want to create your own versions of basketball history,NBA 2K25lets you use custom squads of your liking.

There are already plenty of alternatives to try out if you want to avoid experiencing the Modern Era, which uses the official and updated NBA rosters. There are specific eras based around the champions of the games, including present-day icons like Stephen Curry. But if you still want something different, using a custom squad will allow you to experience timelines that aren’t available officially.

How to use custom rosters in NBA 2K25?

You can create custom rosters of your own by editing the default rosters. But you can’t use them in modes likeMyTeamor MyCareer. If you want to use custom squads outside exhibition matches, MyNBA eras are your best shot.

Just pick a team and start the league, and you now have special NBA seasons with custom squads. I prefer using custom squads made by content creators, and you’re able to usually go with top downloads. They tend to be pretty stable and typically don’t include any bugs.
