In the age of rapid information exchange and social media, the spread of misinformation has become an all-too-common phenomenon. As we reported on last year for the same thing, fake ratings for the game have already started to emerge from “major publications” making rookie mistakes and not verifying their data.
Major Publications Have Started Posting Fake NBA 2K25 Ratings
Several major publications (we won’t mention names) have been duped again by a ratings site that is not affiliated with 2K. Currently, a simple Google search will reveal several outlets posting fake NBA 2K25 ratings. Apparently, these outlets didn’t bother to read the fine print from the website that they got that info from, or they would’ve seen that the ratings that are listed are for NBA 2K24 and not NBA 2K25. Whether these outlets make corrections to the fake ratings postings remains to be seen.
Outside of Rookies, no ratings have been released. So trust fake ratings and alleged rating sites at your own risk!

De Ja Vu
The fake NBA 2K ratings phenomenon started last year with NBA 2K24, as a cascade of publications continued to post fake NBA 2K ratings due to the same issue of blindly following another site’s content. It got to the point where Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets became outraged over his low rating and reached out to Ronnie 2K, who assured him that the rating wasn’t accurate.
When to Expect Real NBA 2K25 Ratings
So far, the reveal of NBA 2K25 ratings have been minimal, with Ronnie 2K revealing the overall ratings of a few rookies recently. Previous years have seen NBA 2K drip out more ratings content on social media as we get closer and closer to the release date of September 6.
