Happy NBA 2K24 release weekend to all those who celebrate. Part of the anticipation around the yearly launch of the premiere basketball game in existence centers around the release of player ratings. While some of us are either too busy, too cheap, or too disinterested to actually buy the newest version of a slightly-tweaked video game year after year, the ratings release is still exciting as it slaps a single, well-understood, 1-100 score on every player’s overall abilities.
Even the players themselves enjoy seeing where they fall, almost unilaterally feeling as if they should be higher.
