NBA 2K25: How To Choose The Ideal Power Forward And Center Builds In MyCAREER Mode?

NBA 2K enjoys great popularity among basketball game series, and the ratings of each player in it will change in the new season. These ratings are subjective and are determined by multiple people, so for players, the ratings of some players may not meet their expectations. Some players may be overrated, while others clearly deserve higher scores. For NBA players, it is normal to have unstable performances. Almost every player has seasons of good or bad performances. However, subjective factors, such as the personal preferences of the raters and the reputation of the rated players, more or less affect the fairness of the ratings. Every year will witness players that are underrated and this performance can not match the given score. This article will mainly introduce the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25 that will be released on September 6. Hope it can provide a reference for your future player selection. Especially for those popular players with potential, hope you can take them to your team by spending NBA 2K25 MT Coins early. 5. Ivica Zubac: 82 Ivica Zubac is undoubtably a powerful NBA player who has shown his true strength to Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career. He has never gotten the title of star players, but he has displayed his stable performance at both ends of the court. In the aspects of offense and defense, he even exhibits overwhelming strength that can match the level of elite. Zubac recently won a three-year contract extension that will promise him $70 million over the next 4 years for his outstanding performance and stable play. But Zubac’s weakness is also obvious, he is not eligible to be elite in any category consistently. He acts pretty well in some aspects, but can not being claimed as elite. He still has a long way to go, and there is still room for improvement for him to strive for. After all, there is still a gap between him and those elite players. But when making a comparison with other centers who own lower ratings, he has a similar or lower influence in some areas, yet is ranked higher. Maybe his real rating is around 80. 4. Damian Lillard: 89 Damian Lillard ended his first season in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform with the result of first-round exit after unfortunately getting injured. Although he was eliminated early, he still achieved pretty satisfying score. From the relevant data, we can clearly see that in the 2023-24 season, his performance has declined significantly, with an average of 8 points less per game than the 2022-23 season, which represents one of the worst season expressions of his career. Although Lillard’s performance has been very stable, but practically, he isn’t quite enough to get an 89 rating in NBA 2K25, because there are better point guards than him but with lower ratings. 3. Victor Wembanyama: 91 Victor Wembanyama served as one of the most impressive rookies with fabulous performance, and was referred to the future of NBA. He almost ended the season with absolute advantage and made significant progress, winning the long-anticipated award of “Rookie of the Year”. But in terms of the actual number of games won, the result is not very satisfactory. After all, he only embraced 22 wins in this season, which was ranked the third-least number of victories in the history of their team. They are a junior team with potential and prospects. He worked very hard and has always wanted to improve his level to a level close to that of a superstar. But as far as the current situation is concerned, considering various factors, his ranking is indeed a bit high, at least not higher than other experienced superstars like Ja Morant, Jimmy Butler and Paul George, who serves as the primary contributor for playoff teams. Considering the long-term career development plan, lowering his rating and ranking will bring much significance to his whole career. 2. Kyrie Irving: 92 Maybe with the blessing of excellent teammates like Luka Dončić, which reduces the pressure of team operations, Kyrie Irving’s shooting percentage hit a new high last season. But in the playoffs, Irving’s performance was obviously not stable. It has brought the question that why Irving embraced such a high rating. There are several players with similar or higher performance but generally lower ratings. This may be attributed to his excellent performance in the previous season. 1. Jayson Tatum: 95 After fighting in Eastern Conference Finals more than five times, Jayson Tatum eventually become NBA champion. As the best player in Celtics, Tatum also became the highest-paid player in NBA considering the fact that he has led the entire team to win fabulous achievement for many times. Although Jayson Tatum’s comprehensive data is high. But Celtics features introducing those talented players with high efficiency. Especially when compared with other players who received 95 overall, there are still some obvious gaps. Maybe it’s because of his NBA championship title, together with the identity of cover athlete for the game alongside A’ja Wilson and Vince Carter, Jayson Tatum is also very popular, but such a high rating is indeed a bit undeserving of his reputation. The above is about the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25. I hope it will help you to choose players in the future. Thanks for reading.
