Should you flop in NBA 2K25?

I don’t recommend performing or having the flop emote equipped inNBA 2K25, no matter if you plan on using it while building your legacy or while letting off steam in The City. The reason for that is quite simple, even if we consider the small chance a foul will be called after performing it, you will 100% of the time open a path for the attacker. When playing any non-5v5 mode, that will then lead to guaranteed points. Performing it by mistake when playing on defense can also give a feeling that you are throwing the game.
