The anticipation for NBA 2K25 continues to build as the first batch of player ratings has been revealed ahead of the game's September 6 release. This initial reveal includes the lowest 30 of the top 100 ranked players, the top-ranked rookies, and some of the highest-rated WNBA players for the season.

Top-Ranked Players in NBA 2K25

Among the first rankings revealed, the highest-rated player so far is WNBA cover star A'ja Wilson, who has achieved a 99 OVR (Overall Rating) at launch. This makes Wilson not only the highest-rated WNBA player in NBA 2K history but also places her among the elite players in the game, as NBA 2K rarely awards a 99 OVR at launch.

Top-Ranked WNBA Players and Rookies

Wilson's 99 OVR is a highlight, but she's not the only WNBA player making waves. The top five WNBA rookies have also been announced with some impressive ratings:

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both secured a 90 OVR, tying them for the highest-rated rookies in NBA 2K history.

Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, and Cameron Brink round out the top five, each earning an 80 OVR.

Men's League Player Ratings

For the men's league, 2K has begun revealing the players ranked between 100th and 71st, with their OVRs starting at 80. This gradual reveal will continue throughout the week, culminating in the announcement of this year's number-one player. Last year, Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets held the top spot with a 98 OVR in NBA 2K24.

Top-Ranked Men's Rookies

While no rookies cracked the top 100 this year, the top-rated rookie in the men's league is Zacharie Risacher, who earned a 75 OVR. A total of 58 top-rated male rookies have been announced, showcasing the promising talent entering the league this season.

Launch and Updates

It's important to note that these ratings are only the launch ratings and are subject to change based on the players' performances throughout the season. NBA 2K25 will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
