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.

Jalen Williams8682
Khris Middleton8685
Dejounte Murray8684
Chet Holmgren8677
Evan Mobley8585
Bradley Beal8586
Cade Cunningham8684
Alperen Sengun8683
Franz Wagner8682
Lauri 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.
