Quentin Grimes
TOTAL: 11 (+3)
FINISHING
SILVER: Layup Mixmaster (ADD)
BRONZE: Float Game (ADD)
SHOOTING
GOLD: Deadeye (+1), Set Shot Specialist, Shifty Shooter (+1)
SILVER: Slippery Off-Ball
BRONZE: Limitless Range (ADD)
DEFENSE
SILVER: Off-Ball Pest
BRONZE: Challenger, On-Ball Menace, Pogo Stick

15 Starts w/ PHI: 24 PPG, 5 RPG, 4 APG, 1.8 SPG, 34 MPG, 52 FG%, 41 3PT%

Grimes is much improved as a finisher, esp since joining the Sixers.

Layup Production
2025: 111-183 FG (61 FG%, 48 AST%, 4.0 FGA/36)
2024: 32-62 FG (52 FG%, 81 AST%, 2.2 FGA/36)

He isn't utilizing a Floater though (0.4 FGA/36), sorry 2K.
Nor is he doing anything from "Limitless Range" (0-0 FG on 30 footers)
They just throw these things on players w/o doing homework.

Also note that his Playmaking wasn't touched - in reality his on-ball reps have gone through the roof since joining the Sixers.

BRONZE: Shifty Shooter
PLAYMAKING
GOLD: Versatile Visionary (+1)

Jones has been the Bulls starting PG since Lonzo Ball has been out. This has actually included some games with Josh Giddey (who should be the SF if Jones continues to start).
8 Starts: 15 PPG, 7 APG, 7.1 A/T ratio, 33 MPG, 57 FG% (5-3 Team Record)

Ivica Zubac (Clippers)

FINISHING

SILVER: Hook Specialist, Post Powerhouse, Post-Up Poet, Posterizer (ADD)
SHOOTING
BRONZE: Post Fade Phenom
DEFENSE
GOLD: Boxout Beast, Brick Wall, Rebound Chaser
SILVER: Pogo Stick

A curious update. 2K neither understands why the Clippers are good this year (18th in Offense, 4th in Defense), nor Zubac's offensive style.

Layup: 117-241 FG (49 FG%, 49 AST%, 4.0 FGA/36)
Dunk: 151-163 FG (93 FG%, 80 AST%, 2.7 FGA/36)
Hook: 172-289 FG (60 FG%, 69 AST%, 4.8 FGA/36) - #1 in NBA by far
Post Touches: 359 in 2187 mins (60 FG%, 5.9 PT/36) - #2 in NBA behind Jokic
Free Throws: 122-193 FT / 33 And1s (63 FG%, 3.2 FTA/36, 0.5 And1/36)
Alley-Oops: 25-29 FG (86 FG%, 0.5 FGA/36)
Putbacks: 37-52 FG (71 FG%, 0.9 FGA/36)
Tips: 36-90 FG (40 FG%, 1.5 FGA/36)

Zu isn't anything to write home about as a rim finisher.
He has no Defensive badges outside of rebounding.

7 Dunks for Zubac against Miami.

Silver Posterizer. Gold Rise Up. Gold Aerial Wizard. LOL.

Devin Carter (Kings)
TOTAL: 1 (+1)
FINISHING
BRONZE: Posterizer

Fun fact: This is the only Kings badge update since 2K25 released 6 months ago. They were the only team with no badge update this season.

I'm guessing it's solely due to this.

Re: 9th Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 3.20.25

Paolo is back in 90 ratings. I wonder what they boosted. They had dropped his med range into basically an unusable level. I wonder if it got boosted.

Badge updates done

Re: 9th Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 3.20.25

If I had to guess - no update today means end of regular season update the following week.

IIRC there was also a year where the last update was 3/21 or something (but they did playoff updates last year so probably not the case this year).

I always hope for playoff updates. I always feel there will be a someone who sticks out.

This also means Wemby will be released back into the wild soon [emoji24]

Re: 9th Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 3.20.25

I edited 100% of all NBA players in Real 2K Rosters - Modern Era.

Are there any teams/players to focus on first for a Review/Breakdown (focusing on teams about to be eliminated, as this will be our last look at them for 6 months).
