The picture up top is largely similar, with Nikola Jovic, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo being the best players in NBA 2K25 at launch. While Doncic and Giannis receive upgrades, Jovic is handed a marginal downgrade despite being last season’s MVP.

Giannis Antetokounmpo in NBA 2K24
Giannis Antetokounmpo maintains his spot as the highest-rated Power Forward in NBA 2K25.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cemented his status as a superstar last season by maintaining a 30.1 PPG and scoring 30+ points in 51 games. He receives a +3 boost for his efforts. Cover star Jayson Tatums sees no upgrades despite winning a Championship ring with the Celtics.

Elsewhere on the list, Mavericks members like Lively (+9) and Gafford (+4) have seen substantial upgrades following their trip to the NBA Finals.

After a young Thunder team put together an impressive season, Holmgren (+10), Hartenstein (+5), Williams (+4), and Caruso (+4) have all been rewarded in a big way. Other notable upgrades include Brunson (+5) and Edwards (+5), who were two of the most dominant players in the league late into the season.

Meanwhile, aging superstars whose form took a dip have seen their ratings drop. Harden (-5), Thompson (-4), Lillard (-5), and Butler (-6) fall into this category with the biggest downgrades.

2K games have made A’ja Wilson the highest-rated WNBA player in the franchise’s history. Fresh off back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023, Wilson has the chance to make history and secure a three-peat for the Aces.

New York Liberty Power Forward Breanna Stewart was Wilson’s main opposition in the WNBA Finals last year and the superstar will look to make another Finals appearance this season.
