As NBA 2K25 prepares for its release, player ratings have sparked debate among fans, particularly regarding LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who received ratings of 95 and 94, respectively. Many fans believe James's rating reflects his impressive performance during the past season and his Olympic success, while others criticize the inflated ratings system, noting that more players are rated above 90 than ever before. The Los Angeles Lakers have retained their core roster with no significant offseason changes, which raises expectations for James and Davis to lead the team back to championship contention. In contrast, the Philadelphia 76ers' all-time team boasts a high overall rating of 94, with Moses Malone leading at 97, despite Charles Barkley's absence due to a licensing dispute. Fans are particularly vocal about the ratings of younger players like Tyrese Maxey, arguing he deserves a higher score than the 89 he received. The upcoming game's release on September 6 has players and fans alike eagerly anticipating how well the ratings reflect real-life skills.
