From there, press conferences will happen after key moments and games, such as breaking a record, winning an award like Rookie of the Year, or crossing a career milestone. When you compete against someone on the GOAT list, like [i]NBA 2K25[/i] cover athlete A'ja Wilson, the questions you’re asked could vary depending on your performance, be it good or bad. Experience the life of a real WNBA athlete and choose how you want to be viewed in the eyes of the public. [h1]THE W ONLINE*[/h1] The W Online has moved to a stunning new outdoor court in a forest grove, where you can play 3v3 multiplayer games amidst a gorgeous backdrop of redwood trees. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45099431/956cea44f114820f43f9e1313bf51195fc90c302.gif[/img] Weekly Community Goals are back in [i]NBA 2K25[/i] and require a collective effort from all players to accomplish them. These goals now track new stats, like the number of excellent green shot releases and your teammate grades. If the community hits the goal in at least four out of the six weeks of each Season, everyone receives a reward, with the rarity of the reward you receive being determined by how much you contributed. [h3]Game Changers Mentorship[/h3] [i]NBA 2K25[/i] builds on the Game Changer status—earned by contributing to the weekly Community Goals—with a new feature called Mentorship. On top of special rewards like Player Boosts for you or your teammates, every couple of games you will have the chance to take another player, who is not yet a Game Changer, under your wing as your mentee. They will receive a challenge, such as “You have been challenged to grab 7 rebounds, and here’s +1 to your Rebounding attribute to help you out.” If you can guide your mentee to complete their challenge, you will also receive a boost to your Community Goal contributions. Everyone wins!

[h3]Rewards[/h3] Throughout the year, new rewards will be available for your MyPLAYER in The W Online, earned by completing shorter stat goals that refresh every week. Completing these will contribute towards the overall weekly Community Goal and also unlock exciting rewards, including brand new jersey dresses, featuring WNBA players on the GOAT list, holiday-themed clothes, and much more. Game Changers can also earn exclusive rewards like arm sleeves, ball trails, and green release animations. This is just a preview of what's to come in each [i]NBA 2K25[/i] Season!
