NBA 2K24 Reveals First Player Ratings Update

NBA 2K24 has dropped its first player ratings update, giving big boosts to rookies.

With the NBA season starting a few weeks ago, the developers at Visual Concepts have taken all of the on-court data the players have produced and dropped the first ratings update for NBA 2K24. Of course, we're in the thick of the first annual In-Season Tournament, which means we'll likely see an even more drastic update following that, but this ratings refresh does feature several big-name players getting shuffled around in the rankings. Simply said, if you're a fan of some of the top-tier rookies, this is a great NBA 2K24 update.

 As mentioned, rookies and young players, in general, are some of the biggest winners here. San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama took the league by storm before the season even started, and he's gotten a +2 boost, making him 86 OVR. However, it's OKC Thunder Center Chet Holmgren who received the biggest boost, going up by six points to an 83 OVR. It's not just the young guns though as Donovan Mitchell (93), Luka Doncic (96), Steph Curry (97), and Joel Embiid (97) all got a nice bump, pushing them even closer to 99 OVR.

On the other side of things, a few top-end stars have struggled to start the season. The Milwaukee Bucks' newest acquisition Damian Lillard is down one to 93 OVR, while the Miami Heat's resident emo Jimmy Butler has also dropped one point to bring him down to 94 OVR. However, it's Los Angeles Clippers Forward Kawhi Leonard who took the biggest downgrade among stars, dropping to 92 OVR. 

Below, you'll find the full list of changes. NBA 2K24 is available now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.
