NBA The Run on PS5 Pro — Open Beta Impressions
3MG runs open-beta KO Solos on PS5 Pro, highlights smooth rollback online play, new unlocks like Ja and Destiny Jackson, and wins a tournament after messy matchmaking.
Open beta on PS5 Pro
Plays KO Solos (control all three players) on PS5 Pro during the public open beta. Roster tweaks include newly available Ja Morant, Destiny Jackson, and Damian Lillard vs prior beta locks.
Finding the beta on PS5 requires searching 'NBA 2K run beta' in the store — awkward discovery.
Gameplay and netcode
Runs smooth online with cross-play; credits rollback-style netcode similar to fighting games. Different KO rules each round (dunk points, first-to-X, timers) keep modes varied.
In-the-zone acts like a game-breaker meter; each player has their own version discovered mid-session.
Matchmaking reality
Mixed competition — some opponents green everything without timing, others chuck random threes. He swaps lineups (Giannis, Ja, Wemby, Curry, Mitchell) chasing wins through quarterfinals to a championship.
Complains many players ignore team basketball and spam dunks in solo queue.
Street pedigree and launch
Shouts out the NBA Street Vol. 2 / FIFA Street developer pedigree. Wants NBA legends added later.
Launch June 9 on all platforms; he plans Twitch code giveaways and notes progression/XP unlocks feel slow after winning a tournament.
Edited from 3MG's video narration. Wording follows the original subtitles.
