The conclusion of the 2019-20 season provided NBA 2K an opportunity to refresh their player ratings in preparation for the upcoming season. But hey, you’re working from home these days, so you won’t even change. It’s enough to make you spill your coffee on your shirt. This is the life of an NBA player, where the basketball video game NBA2K determines their on-the-court value on a 1 to 99 scale. How would you feel? Is that 88 a true reflection of your performance? Or was there too much subjectivity? Did the popularity contest win out? I mean, you’ve been with the company for 5 years, you’ve continued to excel at your position, and you crushed it during your last 8 days at work. You ponder as to how this metric was calculated. The coffee is done and your pour it into your “2020 All-Star” double-walled insulated cup the company provided you for your efforts earlier this year. It is an email that informs you of the observations a third-party talent evaluator has provided of your work performance, given on a scale of 99. While sleepily browsing through the numerous tasks before you, a message from a co-worker catches your eye. You’re bound to have better luck than the real-life version.Imagine you woke up, put on a pot of Folgers (which is the best part of waking up), sat at the kitchen table, and opened your work email. Have fun hitting the virtual hardwood with the Sixers. Funny how the Sixers’ top three dunkers were all injured by the end of the season. Zhaire Smith is next at 90, followed by Ben Simmons at 87. Glenn Robinson III, the 2017 NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner, has the best Driving Dunk rating on the team at 93. Tobias Harris is the only starter with a 3-Point rating of at least 80 (he’s at 80 exactly). Korkmaz and Robinson III are next at 83 each, with Neto right behind at 82. The Sixers sure could have used his sharpshooting in the Bubble. Out of nowhere, Ryan Broekhoff has the team’s highest 3-Point rating at 84. I don’t have any major quibbles with the ratings as a whole. I particularly love Embiid’s archetype designation of “Paint Beast,” which makes me think of his lion tall tale. Joel is ranked 10th among all NBA players, while Ben clocks in at 24th. Here is the breakdown for each Sixer’s overall rating:Įmbiid’s 91 rating is identical to his final rating from the NBA 2K20 game, whereas Simmons has dropped slightly from 88 to 87. Philadelphia’s 81 overall rating is tied with seven other teams for fourth-best in the NBA, behind Brooklyn (83), the Clippers (83), and Milwaukee (82). Honestly, it’s just nice that someone still views this roster as a Tier 1 team, as I don’t think anyone in Philadelphia does any longer. The Sixers are listed as a Tier 1 team, which buckets them among the top 10 teams in the league. Let’s take a look at what the game has in store for our Sixers, courtesy of. This year, plenty of players are on rosters who have likely played their last games in those jerseys. Usually, we would have a new batch of rookies and free agent signings shaking up the in-game rosters. Like so many things in 2020, the latest 2K release is strange in that the real NBA season is still underway. If that’s your wish, you can enjoy controlling the action on NBA 2K21, which released on Friday. With the way things are going lately on the Philadelphia basketball scene, it’s nice to imagine a world where you can call the shots instead of Team Front Office Collaboration.
