The first player rankings have been revealed ahead of NBA 2K25‘s release on September 6, starting with the lowest 30 of the top 100 ranked players. 2K has also revealed this year’s top-ranked rookies, as well as some of the top-ranked WNBA players.
The highest ranked player revealed so far is WNBA cover star A’ja Wilson, who will receive a coveted 99 OVR at launch. Wilson’s 99 makes her the highest-rated WNBA player in NBA 2K history, and on par with the greats in the mens’ league–NBA 2K only rarely hands out 99 ratings and often launches without a single player rated 99, as happened last year.

The WNBA’s top five rookies have also been announced with some impressive OVRs. Breakout stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both netted an impressive 90 OVR, now sharing the title of the highest-rated rookie in the history of NBA 2K. Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, and Cameron Brink make up the rest of the top five, each earning an 80 OVR.
