Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

I need to check these. I want to see why Zion dropped so much.

Also wondering if Cade got his post game improvement

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

Wait I missed that update. Happy Grady Dick got a really nice update

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

BADGE CHANGES - In progress
15 (NC) Tyrese Haliburton (IND) - Some downgrades
11 (+5) Christian Braun (DEN)
9 (+3) Norman Powell (LAC)
8 (+4) Gradey Dick (TOR)

BIG MOVERS (3 or more) - Rookies are in Bold
87 (-3) Tyrese Haliburton (IND) - The only Mover who went down
87 (+3) Jarrett Allen (CLE) - BTW he is +3 in this update rather than +2
86 (+4) Darius Garland (CLE)
84 (+5) Buddy Hield (GSW)
84 (+5) Norman Powell LAC)
84 (+4) Jalen Johnson (ATL)
84 (+3) RJ Barrett (TOR)
84 (+3) Cam Thomas (BKN)
84 (+5) Jordan Poole (WAS)
83 (+5) Dennis Schroder (BKN)
82 (+6) Gradey Dick (TOR)
81 (+4) Bilal Coulibaly (WAS)
81 (+3) Andrew Wiggins (GSW)
80 (+4) Christian Braun (DEN)
79 (+5) Dyson Daniels (ATL)
79 (+3) Tre Mann (CHA)
77 (+4) Jordan Hawkins (NOP)
76 (+4) Davion Mitchell (TOR)
76 (+3) Ochai Agbaji (TOR)
76 (+3) Julian Strawther (DEN)
75 (+7) Jaylen Wells (MEM)
75 (+5) Ryan Dunn (PHX)
75 (+3) Zach Edey (MEM)
75 (+3) Ty Jerome (CLE)
75 (+3) Dean Wade (CLE)
74 (+7) Jay Huff (MEM)
74 (+4) Bub Carrington (WAS)
74 (+3) Ben Sheppard (IND)
74 (+3) Neemias Queta (BOS)
74 (+3) Jalen Wilson (BKN)
73 (+4) Jonathan Mogbo (TOR)
73 (+3) Yves Missi (NOP)
73 (+3) Kyshawn George (WAS)
73 (+3) Jared McCain (PHI)
73 (+3) Tristan Da Silva (ORL)
73 (+3) Brandon Boston Jr (NOP)
72 (+4) Pelle Larsson (MIA)
71 (+4) Keaton Wallace (ATL)

One could argue that 2K is going after it with some players getting massive overhauls.

I would argue that they were completely off-base with their rookie class. If they have to boost Jaylen Wells (#39 pick) SEVEN POINTS just because he's in the rotation (Read: Not thriving - Just playing), then it's pretty clear their process is ****ed up.

I had Huff at 74 last year based on his 3-years of NBA production and G-League career (2023 DPOY). 2K could not be bothered to adjust a 2-Way player over the course of 1,000 days.

Every time someone enters the rotation, starting lineup, etc, they shouldn't REQUIRE a massive ratings boost.

MASSIVE MOVERS (5 or more)
84 (+5) Buddy Hield (GSW)
84 (+5) Norman Powell LAC)
84 (+5) Jordan Poole (WAS)
83 (+5) Dennis Schroder (BKN)
82 (+6) Gradey Dick (TOR)
79 (+5) Dyson Daniels (ATL)
75 (+7) Jaylen Wells (MEM)
75 (+5) Ryan Dunn (PHX)
74 (+7) Jay Huff (MEM)

Hield, Powell, Poole, Schroder, Dick are legitimately improved.
Dyson Daniels? All he did was enter the starting lineup.

STARS (85+)
96 (+2) Anthony Davis (LAL)
96 (+1) Jayson Tatum (BOS)
95 (+1) Kevin Durant (PHX)
94 (+1) Anthony Edwards (MIN)
93 (+1) Jaylen Brown (BOS)
93 (+1) Donovan Mitchell (CLE)
90 (+1) Damian Lillard (MIL)
90 (+1) Paolo Banchero (ORL)
89 (+1) Karl Anthony Towns (NYK)
89 (+1) Domantas Sabonis (SAC)
88 (+1) Chet Holmgren (OKC)
88 (+1) DeMar DeRozan (SAC)
88 (+1) LaMelo Ball (CHA)
87 (+3) Jarrett Allen (CLE)
87 (+1) Evan Mobley (CLE)
87 (+1) Derrick White (BOS)
87 (-3) Tyrese Haliburton (IND)
87 (-2) Jimmy Butler (MIA)
87 (-2) Zion Williamson (NOP)
87 (-1) Bam Adebayo (MIA)
87 (+2) Brandon Ingram (NOP)
87 (+1) Cade Cunningham (DET)
86 (+4) Darius Garland (CLE)
86 (+1) Julius Randle (MIN)
85 (+2) Tyler Herro (MIA)
85 (+1) Jalen Green (HOU)
85 (-2) Jamal Murray (DEN)

Stars are typically not Big Movers which is why they get their own category. The incremental movement is more meaningful here.

Continuing to elevate company favorite Jalen Green is certainly a choice.
2025 Herro: 21.3 PER, 66 TS%, 26 AST%, 27 USG%
2025 Green: 15.7 PER, 54 TS%, 15 AST%, 29 USG%

**Real2KInsider** · 11-07-2024, 04:44 PM

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

POINT GUARDS
89 (NC) Tyrese Maxey (16.6 PER, 52 TS%, 19 AST%, 31 USG%, 40 MPG)
77 (+1) Kyle Lowry (18.0 PER, 76 TS%, 23 AST%, 12 USG%, 23 MPG)
74 (NC) Reggie Jackson (19 mins)
70 (NC) Jeff Dowtin (4 mins)

-Tyrese Maxey
Averaging 28 PPG but really inefficient. 52 TS% on 31 USG% (9th in NBA)
Leading league with 39.7 MPG (was 2nd last season)
OVR should have dropped (-5 TS%, -8 AST%)
Just tweaked his hamstring and will miss next ratings cycle.

-Lowry likely starts in his place.
-Jackson likely enters rotation.

SHOOTING GUARDS
79 (NC) Kelly Oubre Jr (12.0 PER, 52 TS%, 24 USG%, 32 MPG)
73 (+3) Jared McCain (19.4 PER, 55 TS%, 21 AST%, 25 USG%, 11 MPG)
71 (NC) Lester Quinones (3 mins)

-Oubre is averaging 17 PPG but isn't good enough at "Shooting" to be a net positive here.
-McCain has played well in limited minutes, and the #16 pick obviously shouldn't have been this low to begin with.
-McCain still rates lower than Reggie Jackson, who is out of the rotation.

-Oubre's Top 10 Lineups thus far (not a fan of his SG classification):
Maxey-Lowry-Oubre-C.Martin-Drummond (47 mins)
Maxey-Gordon-Oubre-C.Martin-Drummond (30 mins)
Maxey-George-Oubre-C.Martin-Drummond (20 mins)
Maxey-Lowry-Oubre-C.Martin-Yabusele (19 mins)
Maxey-Gordon-Oubre-K.Martin-Drummond (16 mins)
Maxey-McCain-Oubre-C.Martin-Drummond (7 mins)
Maxey-George-Oubre-C.Martin-Yabusele (6 mins)
Maxey-McCain-Council-Oubre-Drummond (5 mins)
Maxey-Oubre-C.Martin-K.Martin-Drummond (5 mins)

Even if we swap George/Oubre he plays with two other guards in all his other significant lineups.

SMALL FORWARDS
89 (NC) Paul George (55 mins)
76 (NC) Eric Gordon (7.9 PER, 56 TS%, 10 AST%, 15 USG%, 4 DRB%)
73 (NC) Ricky Council IV (37 mins)
68 (NC) Justin Edwards (DNP)

-Only two games back for George, not enough sample to project anything.
-Really dislike Gordon being listed as SF. Oubre is obviously the 3 when they share the court.

POWER FORWARDS
77 (+1) Caleb Martin (8.0 PER, 45 TS%, 18 USG%, 8 ORB%, 16 DRB%, 34 MPG)
76 (+2) Guerschon Yabusele (15.3 PER, 61 TS%, 19 USG%, 9 ORB%, 15 DRB%, 20 MPG)
74 (NC) KJ Martin (13.1 PER, 73 TS%, 8 USG%, 3 ORB%, 17 DRB%, 17 MPG)

-I assume Caleb Martin went up because his rebounding increase (+3 ORB%, +2 DRB%) outweighed his poor shooting (-8 TS%)

-If 2K is putting Gordon at the 3 to balance the rotation, why isn't Yabu at the 5?

CENTERS
96 (NC) Joel Embiid (DNP)
77 (-1) Andre Drummond (12.6 PER, 52 TS%, 17 USG%, 15 ORB%, 33 DRB%, 2.1 BLK%, 27 MPG)
69 (NC) Adem Bona (12 mins)

-Drummond's efficiency is in the tubes, though not exactly uncommon for him.
-Poor defense is why Yabu played over him in the Phoenix game. Career low BLK rate.
-Rotation worth monitoring once Embiid returns.

TIER CHANGES
Role Player (75-79): Guerschon Yabusele

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

I noticed a lot of rookie heights and weight are wrong.
Some examples:
Edey 7’5”. He is 7’4” (from NBA site)
Risacher 6’10” he is 6’8
Sarr 7’1” vs 7’0”

Wake up 2K, come on

To be fair, the NBA itself is all over the place with it's data.

The team sites & "Official" listings are actually outdated.

Compare the Heights/Weights on the "Official" Hawks roster...

Atlanta Hawks Official NBA Team Roster

https://www.nba.com/hawks/roster

Discover the Atlanta Hawks Roster on the official team website. See the current Hawks lineup, coaching staff, player stats, and more.

...to the Training Camp Roster (these are actually getting updated year-to-year)

https://x.com/KLChouinard/status/1840081030855721012/photo/1

Trae Young for example has been 180 lbs for two years but keeps getting dropped down to his 164 rookie weight.
Risacher's Camp listing was 6'9" / 215

------------------

Now of course, 2K completely botched this Rookie class from top to bottom and who knows where some of those figures came from. They are bringing the wrong people in.

Topic's wingspan is 7 foot too in game. In real life his negative wingspan was quite well known.

**Real2KInsider** · 11-07-2024, 07:26 PM

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

MILWAUKEE BUCKS

POINT GUARD
90 (+1) Damian Lillard: 23.0 PER, 64 TS%, 30 AST%, 30 USG%, 36 MPG
74 (-1) Delon Wright: 5.0 PER, 54 TS%, 8 AST%, 8 USG%, 13 MPG
71 (NC) Ryan Rollins: 17 mins
69 (NC) AJ Johnson: 6 mins

-Dame back to his usual self. Production reflects Tyrese Maxey definitely should have gone down this cycle.

-Only 2 PPG for Wright, but more concerning is his 8 AST% (-13) reflects an off-ball role. Rivers is notorious for killing the value of role players, dating back to his Boston years.

SHOOTING GUARD
77 (-1) Gary Trent Jr: 3.3 PER, 43 TS%, 15 USG%, 6 DRB%, 4 AST%, 30 MPG
74 (+2) A.J. Green: 19.6 PER, 91 TS%, 14 USG%, 12 MPG
73 (-1) Pat Connaughton: 8.3 PER, 47 TS%, 13 USG%, 17 DRB%, 17 MPG

-Trent was so bad he lost his starting job to Andre Jackson. At only -1, 2K wasn't aggressive enough here. The 3-Ball isn't falling and he isn't attacking the rim at all.

-Green: There has always dichotomy between how 2K treats hot players vs how they treat slumping players.

SMALL FORWARD
85 (NC) Khris Middleton: DNP
76 (+1) Taurean Prince: 12.3 PER, 75 TS%, 9 USG%, 29 MPG
72 (-1) Marjon Beauchamp: 13 mins
72 (NC) Andre Jackson Jr: 5.5 PER, 48 TS%, 15 USG%, 12 MPG
70 (NC) Stanley Umude: DNP

-Prince, starting for Middleton, is among the only overachieving role players on the team.
-Jackson and Connaughton should have their positions swapped moving forward. Worth noting Jackson has been SF/PF up to this point (which makes sense since you can't play him w/ Giannis). We'll see how long that lasts.

Wright-Connaughton-Jackson-Portis-Giannis
Dame-Green-Jackson-Portis-Lopez
Rollins-Green-Connaughton-Jackson-Portis
Dame-Wright-Jackson-Portis-Giannis
Dame-Green-Connaughton-Jackson-Lopez
Dame-Wright-Jackson-Portis-Lopez
Dame-Wright-Prince-Jackson-Giannis
Dame-Trent-Jackson-Giannis-Lopez
Johnson-Green-Beauchamp-Jackson-Smith
Rollins-Green-Beauchamp-Jackson-Smith

POWER FORWARD
97 (NC) Giannis Antetokounmpo: 29.6 PER, 63 TS%, 37 AST%, 34 USG%, 6 ORB%, 32 DRB%, 1.3 BLK%, 35 MPG
80 (NC) Bobby Portis: 14.2 PER, 51 TS%, 23 USG%, 9 ORB%, 28 DRB%, 3.0 BLK%, 26 MPG
69 (NC) Chris Livingston: DNP

Giannis continues to do dominate the stat sheet, but his defense has slipped over the years and 2K's never really accounted for it.

Bucks DRTG
2019: 1st (All-Def 1st Team)
2020: 1st (All-Def 1st Team)
2021: 10th (Champs, All-Def 1st Team)
2022: 14th (All-Def 1st Team)
2023: 4th
2024: 19th
2025: 21st

-Portis is another role player who has shot poorly. Despite shooting 4-18 3PT, he maintains an 84 3PT rating.

CENTER
79 (-1) Brook Lopez: 11.3 PER, 50 TS%, 17 USG%, 7.2 BLK%, 31 MPG
69 (NC) Tyler Smith: 15 mins
67 (NC) Liam Robbins: 5 mins

Lopez' 3-Ball isn't falling (-9%), but will probably level out. His 53 2PT% (-9%) is worth monitoring. Lopez was able to carry a higher offensive load in 2023 when Middleton was out, but so far that hasn't come to pass (albeit the team didn't have Dame in 2023).

TIER CHANGES
Superstar (90-94): Damian Lillard
Role Player (75-79): Brook Lopez
Bench (70-74): Delon Wright

I'm pretty sure most Wingspans are just the default number for the corresponding height.

Tyler Kolek
Combine Data: 6'3" WS
NBA 2K: 6'7" WS

Risacher
Combine: 6'10"
NBA 2K: 7'2"

Jared McCain
Combine: 6'4"
NBA 2K: 6'7"

Rookie class was 100% botched, whoever got the assignment this year took a lot of shortcuts at best, can't manage data at worst.

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

Just caught another 2K Typo

Andre Jackson Jr
25 Block (was 52 last year)
2024: 0.9 BLK% (obviously not a 25)

Along w/ the Hartenstein thing, whatever intern they hired is sloppy AF this year.

**Real2KInsider** · 11-07-2024, 08:30 PM

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

NEW YORK KNICKS

POINT GUARD
93 (NC) Jalen Brunson: 20.7 PER, 57 TS%, 28 AST%, 32 USG%, 34 MPG
75 (NC) Cam Payne: 12.4 PER, 42 TS%, 29 AST%, 21 USG%, 15 MPG
70 (NC) Tyler Kolek: 29 mins
67 (NC) Boo Buie: DNP

Brunson's AST% is down (-6) but nothing to otherwise worry about.
Dame's resurgence + Haliburton's regression, he's locked in as a Top 2 PG in East

SHOOTING GUARD
82 (NC) Josh Hart: 17.0 PER, 66 TS%, 18 AST%, 16 USG%, 6 ORB%, 23 DRB%, 36 MPG
78 (+2) Miles McBride: 14.2 PER, 59 TS%, 16 AST%, 19 USG%, 26 MPG
69 (NC) Kevin McCullar Jr: DNP

Honestly a bit odd Hart's OVR didn't go up but that's probably because 2K should have him at PF instead.

Hart Lineups
Brunson-Bridges-Anunoby-Hart-Towns
Payne-McBride-Bridges-Hart-Towns (THIS IS THE TELL)
Brunson-McBride-Bridges-Hart-Sims (THIS RIGHT HERE)
Brunson-McBride-Anunoby-Hart-Sims
Brunson-McBride-Anunoby-Hart-Towns
Kolek-McBride-Bridges-Hart-Sims (RIGHT HERE)
Brunson-McBride-Bridges-Hart-Towns (HELLOOOOOO)
Brunson-Payne-Anunoby-Hart-Towns
Payne-McBride-Bridges-Hart-Towns (Bridges SF lineup #5)
Kolek-McBride-Anunoby-Hart-Towns

McBride is in all but two of Hart's lineups. Hart is not the SG.

-As far as McBride, his OVR is up primarily because his skillset fits better at the 2.

SMALL FORWARD
84 (NC) Mikal Bridges: 14.4 PER, 59 TS%, 18 USG%, 7 DRB%, 37 MPG
71 (NC) Matt Ryan - DNP
69 (NC) Pacome Dadiet - 23 mins

Bridges' rebound rate should again be a major tell on what position he's playing.

POWER FORWARD
84 (NC) OG Anunoby: 13.7 PER, 59 TS%, 16 USG%, 11 DRB%, 37 MPG
76 (NC) Precious Achiuwa: DNP
67 (NC) Jacob Toppin: 10 mins

Again, same with OG.

CENTER
89 (+1) Karl Anthony Towns: 27.9 PER, 64 TS%, 28 USG%, 13 ORB%, 34 DRB%, 3.1 BLK%
80 (NC) Mitchell Robinson: DNP
72 (NC) Jericho Sims: 6.7 PER, 58 TS%, 5 USG%, 11 ORB%, 37 TO%, 13 MPG
68 (NC) Ariel Hukporti: 29 mins

Towns' numbers are through the roof now that he's playing his natural Center position again.
13 ORB% (+7) - 10th in NBA (Career High)
34 DRB% (+12) - 3rd in NBA (Career High)
24 REB% (+10) - 1st in NBA (Career High)
3.1 BLK% (+1.3)

Yet Towns only has a 52 ORB rating, 82 DRB rating.

The only attributes this buffoon in the 2K office could be bothered to update
89 3pt (+2)
75 Shot IQ (+5)
98 OffCon (+3)

**Real2KInsider** · 11-07-2024, 09:04 PM

Re: 1st Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 11.7.24

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
I've written a lot about this team in my ratings topic, so won't add too much more.
Many player stats for the 9-0 team are absurd
Team reminds me a bit of the 2004 Pistons with shades of the Sheed/Ben frontcourt + Garland/Mitchell playing the roles of a hypercharged Billups/Hamilton

POINT GUARD
86 (+4) Darius Garland: 22.2 PER, 66 TS%, 33 AST%, 26 USG%, 29 MPG
75 (+3) Ty Jerome: 27.6 PER, 70 TS%, 27 AST%, 22 USG%, 15 MPG
72 (NC) Craig Porter Jr: 29 mins

SHOOTING GUARD
93 (+1) Donovan Mitchell: 21.0 PER, 60 TS%, 20 AST%, 20 USG%, 30 MPG
75 (+1) Sam Merrill: 11.6 PER, 64 TS%, 15 USG%, 20 MPG

Not sure why Mitchell is going up.

SMALL FORWARD
79 (+2) Caris LeVert: 23.4 PER, 71 TS%, 27 AST%, 19 USG%, 23 MPG
77 (NC) Max Strus: DNP
76 (NC) Isaac Okoro: 11.2 PER, 62 TS%, 10 USG%, 20 MPG
75 (+3) Dean Wade: 11.1 PER, 54 TS%, 12 USG%, 18 DRB%, 24 MPG
70 (NC) Jaylon Tyson: 21 mins
69 (NC) Luke Travers: 7 mins
68 (NC) Emoni Bates: DNP

With SEVEN Small Forwards I'd just move Strus to SG and be done with it.

POWER FORWARD
87 (+1) Evan Mobley: 20.0 PER, 58 TS%, 25 USG%, 24 DRB%, 5.6 BLK%, 30 MPG
73 (NC) Georges Niang: 8.7 PER, 55 TS%, 14 USG%, 16 DRB%
70 (NC) JT Thor: DNP

CENTER
87 (+3) Jarrett Allen: 23.6 PER, 71 TS%, 17 USG%, 35 DRB%, 4.2 BLK%, 31 MPG
70 (NC) Tristan Thompson: 23 mins

TIER JUMPS
All-Star (85-89): Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland
Role Player: (75-79): Dean Wade, Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill

Overall a pretty meaningful update for this team.
