Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

It's really sad that Elfrid Payton was already released.

I thought Franz would of broken the 90 mark with his recent play.

[jeebs9]

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

Why they keep giving Franz ****ty defense? He should be at 80's by now.

[jeebs9]

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

I'm completely shocked that Şengün didn't get an update. Didn't he just win player of the week? Now that's nonsense

[jeebs9]

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

Brandon Ingram drop again [emoji24] LMAO. I just don't get it at times. He's not even playing right now

[jeebs9]

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

Also thought Amen Thompson/Tari Eason would get defensive consistent up dates. I just don't understand why we can update a players real defense.

Also I thought the biggest jump would of been Jalen Johnson (or Şengün). Only because he's passing has been really a plus for the Hawks.

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

I can't figure out what was changed with Wemby?

[Real2KInsider]

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

It's really sad that Elfrid Payton was already released.

Good chance he's back later, just gone for now due to financials.
If anything it's good he got to re-establish himself as a legit Ish Smith journeyman type. Perhaps a team with more at stake will have interest later.

I thought Franz would of broken the 90 mark with his recent play.

Definitely should have. By comparison, the hard on that 2K has for Jaylen Brown (93) is disgraceful. Franz has easily been better.

Why they keep giving Franz ****ty defense? He should be at 80's by now.

They never update defense because that would require them to research and consume actual basketball content.

I'm completely shocked that Şengün didn't get an update. Didn't he just win player of the week? Now that's nonsense

Sengun's play didn't really stand out this cycle:
21 PPG, 10 RPG, 7 APG (46 FG%, 14 3PT%, 78 FT%), 34 MPG, 6 games
Team record is heavily weighted in POTW selections (Harrison Barnes had one 2 weeks ago)

Brandon Ingram drop again [emoji24] LMAO. I just don't get it at times. He's not even playing right now

He played 1 game: 18 pts (7-16 FG, 2-7 3PT), but he probably should have gone down prior. In the midst of his worst season since he played for the Lakers.

Also thought Amen Thompson/Tari Eason would get defensive consistent up dates. I just don't understand why we can update a players real defense.

Same answer as before.
Covering 30 teams is really a lot of work.

Also I thought the biggest jump would of been Jalen Johnson (or Şengün). Only because he's passing has been really a plus for the Hawks.

Johnson got his boost (+4) at the start of the year. His play hasn't really changed much since then, he's just been super consistent.

ANDDDD BACK TO WORK
Might be off tomorrow

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

LeBron still at a 95 is hilarious.

Rich Paul must be making his infamous threat calls to 2K.

I’m surprised they didn’t boost Bronny to 70.

Thank you for your valuable analysis.

Bronny hasn't played since November 10th and you're "surprised" he didn't go up. Escape your feelings for just one day. Your hate is consuming you.

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

MJ stans are really threatened by LeBron

Re: 3rd Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 12.5.24

Nice to see Potter is now somewhat useable. He's seemed like one of the better 2-way guys in the league for a while now so I'm not sure why his rating was so low.
