Re: 6th Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 1.30.25

I'm going to be going in with JV!!

https://youtube.com/shorts/nWdxKloS1Z8?si=QrCJ4OsqjlZ8-_Ks

Cade finally breaks the 90 level, but still zero improvement on his post up game.

Amen with a nice boost!! But still don't think it's enough. He is one of the most elite defensive players to come into the league. His defensive ratings should be attached to his brother's.

Şengün got an update too. Looks like they dropped his mid range and raised his 3 pointers

Jalen Green has had low shooting ratings for a while now. It was 72-75 for a while now. But now it's 70-83. It's so weird. I'll never understand how this works

I'm so proud of Ty Jerome!!! Kenny Atkinson has turned another Virginia player career around!!

I'm surprised Wemby went down.

I imagine LeBron just broke a new record, being lowest PER rating to ever get a 96 OVR. Lol

Would you care to look up Jayson Tatum's PER and what his OVR has been the entire season

Now do Kobe Bryant in 2010 (97 OVR)

PJ lives to see another day (Bamba waived instead). Utah must be holding him for salary matching (though he can't be aggregated)

It can't be about buyout savings because he's not giving up more than what Bamba was making.

The trade can’t even happen in 2k because the Jazz didn’t send anything out

Re: 6th Official NBA 2K25 Player Ratings Update - 1.30.25

Would you care to look up Jayson Tatum's PER and what his OVR has been the entire season

Now do Kobe Bryant in 2010 (97 OVR)

Well I’ll give you one thing, you picked the two most inefficient 95+ OVR superstars ever. But Kobe also didn’t get the benefit of playing in today’s era of stat inflation and spacing which would have helped boost his.
