It won’t be long before the official ratings for NBA 2K25 players will be released by the developers.

If NBA 2K follows the same pattern as the last few years, the ratings should be revealed before the game goes live on September 6. When the ratings will be revealed remains unknown as of the time of this writing. However, what if we were to predict what the top 50 superstars could look like at launch? After all, they have had plenty of ups and downs during the recently concluded NBA season.

NBA 2K25 Top 50 player overall ratings (predictions)

For starters, the top 50 of my list includes names based on how they may appear in NBA 2K25 in terms of overall ratings. Hence, a superstar who might have been among the top 50 ratings in NBA 2K24 might not be found in this list.

NameNBA 2K25 Overall (predicted)NBA 2K24 OverallNikola Jokic9898Joel Embiid9796Luka Doncic9795Giannis Antetokounmpo9796Shai Gilgeous-Alexander9693Jayson Tatum9695Kevin Durant9696LeBron James9596Stephen Curry9596Anthony Edwards9588Devin Booker9594Anthony Davis9493Kyrie Irving9490Donovan Mitchell9492Jalen Brunson9388Jaylen Brown9389Jimmy Butler9395Ja Morant9392Kawhi Leonard9394Tyrese Haliburton9288Pascal Siakam9186Domantas Sabonis9187Victor Wembanyama9084Damian Lillard9094De’Aaron Fox8988Trae Young8989Paul George8989Paolo Banchero8984Jamal Murray8988Tyrese Maxey8885Zion Williamson8890Bam Adebayo8887DeMar Derozan8886Karl-Anthony Towns8885Kristaps Porzingis8886LaMelo Ball8786Rudy Gobert8784Jrue Holiday8787Jaren Jackson Jr.8786Derrick White8682Jalen Williams8682Khris Middleton8685Dejounte Murray8684Chet Holmgren8677Evan Mobley8585Bradley Beal8586Cade Cunningham8684Alperen Sengun8683Franz Wagner8682Lauri Markkanen8686

While the list mostly consists of improvements, there are some names who, I believe, will take a slight hit in their overall ratings in NBA 2K25. Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren should witness the biggest jumps, and both deserve the hike in their overall ratings.

It’s unlikely that anyone will be able to trump Nuggets’ star Nikola Jokic after the Serbian won yet another regular season MVP. Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic should still get raises due to their real-life performances.

Do note that these overall ratings are predictions, and not the official ones from NBA 2K. Additionally, all official ratings are also subject to changes in monthly updates.
