We already knew who the top 12 players with the highest NBA 2K24 rating were, and it had caused a bit of a stir when it came out. The extended list has some surprises and for me, the biggest one is Zion Williamson. Zion is obviously a great player, but he has played 29 games in the last two seasons, and a 90 rating seems a tad too high for that.
To have some very players below him who have actually played a lot in these last two seasons, doesn’t seem right to me. Some might apply the same logic to Kawhi Leonard, but he at least played over 50 games last season.
NBA Fans Reacted To These Ratings
While I don’t see any major issues with the list, the same cannot be said about NBA fans on X. A lot of them weren’t happy with these ratings as they reacted to it.
One believes Zion should only get an 86.
Zion should be like a 86.

A fan was shocked that Pascal Siakam didn’t make the top 30.
Siakam isn’t a top 30 player?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is overrated one fan believes, after he got a 93.
Shai is so overrated

One claimed that Stephen Curry and LeBron James don’t deserve to be rated so high.
Steph and Bron have legacy ratings.

You can never really make everyone happy with the ratings. It’s all subjective at the end of the day, and someone is always going to be unhappy about something. What is problematic, though, is that the game itself hasn’t been very well received so far. Maybe things get a bit better as time goes on, but gamers aren’t too happy with it right now.
NBA Players Have Tried To Bribe Ronnie 2K To Increase Their Ratings
When it comes to NBA 2K, there is one man always at the forefront of it, Ronnie 2K. Ronnie is the Digital Marketing Director for 2K games and is often the one who bears the brunt of criticism from players and fans on social media.
Last year, Kevin Durant called out Ronnie for his NBA 2K23 rating not being 99, and these kinds of incidents have become yearly occurrences at this point. The ratings clearly mean a lot to the players, even though it’s just a game, and they go to great lengths to bump it up a bit as well it appears.
Ronnie revealed that players have bribed him to increase their 2K ratings, and he had a simple message for them, play better. It turns out players had offered him shoes and some other accessories for it, and Ronnie wanted it to stop.
