Good to see Knecht and Jared get some love, wasn't expecting that big of a jump.

“Love”. Sure. But a 10+ overall increase less than 20 games into your career is a bit of an overreaction, and seems to be a decision they made to keep certain teams still competitive in online play.

I love seeing Jared McCain getting some love. But their ratings are always more of a "What have you done lately?" kind of thing. If they start coming back to either their ratings will be adjusted in the next update. An 83 is an appropriate rating for how McCain is playing right now.

[iverson91]

They nerfed Maxey's attributes, he's not playing well but I feel like they nerf him faster than any other player when he goes through a slump, they did the same last year.

Yabo should have gotten a 3 increase.


I see they updated th Mccain

I criticized 2K for their lack of Badge work on the Rookies and they evidently listened. I commend 2K for their efforts here. Very positive roster update, most rookies were in desperate need of an OVR boost.

It bears mentioning again that Badges have a larger impact on OVR than in past years, which is why some Rookies went up such a large degree.

Among Rookie Movers:
-Without crunching anything, I will be the first to say I approve of McCain's rating. I personally already had him at 80 OVR (with 8 Badges). Based on his production thus far, it's warranted. He's played enough of a sample (14 games, 314 mins) that it isn't really a fluke. At 3.9 BPM, he is BY FAR the best rookie (Knecht 0.9, Edey 0.3). 2005 Ben Gordon is a great comparison for McCain: 2nd in ROY and won Sixth Man of the Year. 83 is the range of that caliber of player.

-Knecht has had a huge last 5 games, including 37 pts on 102 TS% in his last one. Both those guys have risen past the rest of the class for top rookies.

-Edey has been very effective, though he's missed the last week since Draymond injured him.

-Missi eclipsed Theis as the Pelicans starter. He's limited but effective.

-Ditto Clingan, who might as well keep starting when DeAndre Ayton comes back given the franchise's direction.

-Filipowski has established himself as Utah's starting PF since Taylor Hendricks season-ending injury. He's a Kelly Olynyk type which they were very successful with the two prior seasons.

-Kolek is a Knick who Thibs trusts actually trusts when someone is hurt. Payne and McBride have missed time due to injuries and Kolek has played well in their absence.

Among non-Rookie Movers:
-Dyson Daniels had a huge Steals streak

-Bennedict Mathurin has broken out, filling in for the injured Aaron Nesmith

-Ty Jerome is your latest Jeremy Lin / Flip Murray type

-Goga Bitadze never should have been that low in the first place given the contract he signed, probably the starter even after Wendell Carter Jr comes back

-Malik Beasley having a bounceback season

-Steven Adams firmly a backup, no longer starter quality

-Fluctuation in the Bucks SG carousel (Green/Jackson/Trent). A bit surprised to see Trent drop as much given he's righted the ship (and prob remains the best of the three), but they didn't account enough for his drop earlier in the season I suppose.

Online Play is definitely not a factor considering the vast majority of Attributes that get changed (Shot IQ and Intangibles) have zero impact in Online games. OVR only matters in MyNBA.

[leoribas3]

Man 2k ****ed up the launch ratings so bad, especially rookies, that i think ima have to restart my main MyNBA save for the 3rd time.

I know the main roster problem is theres way too many players in the 80-89ovrl range, but having every single rookie rated 75 or below when the game launched was such a dumb decision. If most of the league is rated 80+ in the game, most of the rookies dont even freaking play.

Maxey NEVER got nerfed last year. I keep records on this.
4/11/23 = 84 (Final 2K23)
9/8/23 = 85 (Initial 2K24)
11/9/24 = 87 (First Update)
3/7/24 = 88
5/7/24 = 89 (Playoff Update)

2024 Maxey: 45 FG%, 37 3PT%, 87 FT%, 25.9 PPG, 6.2 APG
2025 Maxey: 39 FG%, 27 3PT%, 83 FT%, 25.1 PPG, 3.6 APG

Maxey's OVR didn't even go down in this update. He goes through the same attribute fluctuations as everyone else. Man's has an 83 3PT rating (-2) while shooting 27%, what more do you want???
