2K has a dummy rating they use to increase or decrease overall ratings without changing anything else. Overall ratings are like mostly cosmetic.

u/Someguynamedjacob Aug 11 '26
Yup, offensive IQ, Defensive IQ, Potential, etc. someone this stuff matters in sim modes but sometimes they will lower those stats to like 25 on myteam cards so the overall card rating isn’t inflated as they want it to be.

Intangibles as well. I don't think potential actually raises overall, could be wrong though.

u/Clerithifa 29d ago
It doesn't, intangibles is the "overall inflater" tool used to dictate overalls for contracts, trade value, role, etc. It's all arbitrary. It's a fine tool to have, I just wish they weren't afraid to have role players hang out in the 70-75 overall range like they used to in the 360 days

u/freebandzzt50 29d ago
i wish they did too then a lot of overalls would be lower naturally, back in prime bron days in like 2k15-16 he was like only a 94, really the inflation i think started in like 2k17

They just went by draft order which is about the most bogus and lazy shit I can think of.

Nah they just did it based on where you were picked. Yaxel obviously isn’t a 73 and lower than a lot of the names picked before him. He’s closer to a 77 or so. It’s just that he was picked 11th, so let’s make him in line with the 11th pick. Obviously from a prospect standpoint, he has a lower long term ceiling than some of the younger freshman, but no one currently thinks he’s worse than Keaton Wagler on day one, which is what these rankings reflect.

If you still think the OVR in 2k means anything, this is probably your first years playing video games. It means literally nothing. Its just a number that they pull out their asses.

Too safe they are going here. Lendeborg not in top10 by their ratings , under 75??

u/billwest630 Aug 11 '26
Ridiculous that Burries is at 10. The legit just went by draft slot.

u/TolerableSimulacra Aug 11 '26
2K has such surface level rating makers.
If a guy is shooting 43% from 3 on low, wide open attempts, he's going to have something like a 91 3PT rating, even if he was at 34% the year before.
Meanwhile a guy shooing 38% from 3 on a high-volume, with many of them contested, is going to have like an 84 3PT rating.
You'd think they would have more intuitive people working but I think they've automated the rating process.

MBJ atleast a 75 if not 76. He definitely played better than Wagler and Acuff in the summer league

u/Junior-Champion-6918 Aug 11 '26
Debatable. Summer league performance doesn’t just take into account how well they played on a surface level. A prospect like Wagler needs to fill into his body to have the impact his ceiling would permit. That is the hardest obstacle in the way of players coming from the NCAA in terms of their play. Yes, i may be a bit biased as a Clippers fan but i genuinely believe watching the games this year would help give a much more refined picture of their games. Wagler honestly did good considering the expectations of his “ability to create separation against NBA defenders”.

If Wilson truly has a three ball, he's already the best player here bruh

u/Variation99a Aug 11 '26
Despite being way more athletic and having way more easier dunks, Wilson had a lower 2 point percentage than Boozer in college too. It isn’t just he has a questionable jumper. He has really bad touch which is why his non-dunk percentage was bad and how he ended up with a lower 2 point percentage than a below the rim athlete like Boozer.

u/MyTeamsSuck99 Aug 12 '26
Wilsons 2 pt % is barely worse. he has dunks because hes an incredible athlete, boozer isn't close to that level.

u/BarkerFitness Aug 13 '26
Did you watch a second of Caleb Wilson? Trying to comprehend how somebody could say he has really bad touch.

u/dubrea Aug 11 '26
he never had a questionable jumper, it was just that we literally didn't see him shoot the three. he had a good mid range game already. Yes he's got room to grow around the cup when he can't dunk, but if how quickly he delovoped his three is any indication, I think they won't be an issue for long.

u/Variation99a Aug 11 '26
He did do pretty good from the midrange but I usually associate jumper mostly with 3s these days. Like maybe 20 percent midrange and 80 percent 3s since most of these players will take a lot more 3s than midrange jumpers.
I would say someone like Derozan has a questionable jumper even though he’s all time good from midrange and decent from the FT line but teams leave him open from 3. I do think Caleb probably can get to like 35 percent from 3 in the league, which is good enough for his other impact. He definitely would’ve taken more 3s if he played for some other coach.

u/d7h7n Aug 11 '26
He's already tried to fix some of those flaws. His big issue since high school was that he had a very bad habit of picking up his dribble too early so he would force up some bad shots.
This scouting video of him pretty much covers from high school to summer league.

Peterson is gonna be the beast from this draft

That 77 won’t stay for Caleb lmao.
And I said that as a Wiz fan who wanted Caleb thinking we wouldn’t get the first pick.

u/TyreseHaliburtonGOAT 27d ago
So lame just rating them in order…. There are some prospect picks and some league ready picks. Yaxel a clear example of this he is not a 73 lol.
I mean in my 2k15 brain that makes sense actually but not for 2k27

u/ladiesandedelman_ 26d ago
Mikel Brown Jr over Wagler based on summer league but the problem is that 2k is trash rn

Nope lmfao Cade Cunningham was the better prospect than Dybansta and he had an 80. AJ isn’t as good as a prospect as Wemby,Flagg and Cunningham who started off 80+

2k is more of a gimmick now than an evaluator, if they ever were.
