Since you\u2019re here, the answer is probably yes. The good news is you haven\u2019t done anything wrong. The bad news is you can\u2019t do anything to fix the situation. If you\u2019ve played MyCAREER intensely in the first week following NBA 2K25\u2019s launch, you\u2019ve almost certainly been told your player isn\u2019t eligible to play on certain courts at least once. Naturally, being told you can\u2019t play the game you just bought can cause one to pause. NBA 2K25 doesn\u2019t do a great job explaining this issue, but it turns out there\u2019s not much you can do about it anyway. Why do you get \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d in NBA 2K25? \u201cPlayer is not eligible\u201d simply means that you\u2019ve become too good to play on casual courts. Casual courts are specifically designed for players who are just getting started or ones who aren\u2019t doing well in MyCAREER, so they can hone their skills in a more relaxed environment. For this same reason, squads are also forbidden from playing at casual courts. How to fix \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d in NBA 2K25 The only \u201cfix\u201d for this issue is to be very bad at NBA 2K25, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of MyCAREER in the first place. In a way, getting a \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d message is a compliment to your skills. You\u2019ve now grown out of the Rookie phase and are ready to take on the next step and face the big boys playing at the beach courts. This sounds cute but the reality is if you\u2019re not as confident in your skills as NBA 2K25 thinks you should be, getting locked out of casual courts can be quite the downer. You will generally be out of range of being eligible for casual courts by the time you\u2019re 70 OVR, and queuing up as a 70 OVR player without a premade squad can be pretty rough, not to mention time consuming. If the queue times elsewhere are getting out of hand, try the theater, it\u2019s your best bet of getting games fairly quickly while you build yourself up. Just don\u2019t let all this bring you down and keep grinding because getting your MyPLAYER to 90 OVR can unlock the Rebirth feature that will make all subsequent MyCAREER saves much easier.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/NBA_Curr.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1339403"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339450,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403\/revisions\/1339450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1334689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1339403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1339403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Since you\u2019re here, the answer is probably yes. The good news is you haven\u2019t done anything wrong. The bad news is you can\u2019t do anything to fix the situation. If you\u2019ve played MyCAREER intensely in the first week following NBA 2K25\u2019s launch, you\u2019ve almost certainly been told your player isn\u2019t eligible to play on certain courts at least once. Naturally, being told you can\u2019t play the game you just bought can cause one to pause. NBA 2K25 doesn\u2019t do a great job explaining this issue, but it turns out there\u2019s not much you can do about it anyway. Why do you get \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d in NBA 2K25? \u201cPlayer is not eligible\u201d simply means that you\u2019ve become too good to play on casual courts. Casual courts are specifically designed for players who are just getting started or ones who aren\u2019t doing well in MyCAREER, so they can hone their skills in a more relaxed environment. For this same reason, squads are also forbidden from playing at casual courts. How to fix \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d in NBA 2K25 The only \u201cfix\u201d for this issue is to be very bad at NBA 2K25, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of MyCAREER in the first place. In a way, getting a \u201cplayer is not eligible\u201d message is a compliment to your skills. You\u2019ve now grown out of the Rookie phase and are ready to take on the next step and face the big boys playing at the beach courts. This sounds cute but the reality is if you\u2019re not as confident in your skills as NBA 2K25 thinks you should be, getting locked out of casual courts can be quite the downer. You will generally be out of range of being eligible for casual courts by the time you\u2019re 70 OVR, and queuing up as a 70 OVR player without a premade squad can be pretty rough, not to mention time consuming. If the queue times elsewhere are getting out of hand, try the theater, it\u2019s your best bet of getting games fairly quickly while you build yourself up. Just don\u2019t let all this bring you down and keep grinding because getting your MyPLAYER to 90 OVR can unlock the Rebirth feature that will make all subsequent MyCAREER saves much easier.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/NBA_Curr.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1339403"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339450,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339403\/revisions\/1339450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1334689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1339403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1339403"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1339403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
