Bulls’ NBA 2K25 ratings that are 100% wrong

As a seasoned basketball enthusiast who has followed the sport for decades, I must say that the upcoming schedule for my favorite team is nothing short of exhilarating! From the chilly climes of Washington to the sun-kissed beaches of Miami, this journey will take us across the vast and diverse landscape of America.


This summer, NBA 2K player ratings were released, making it an enjoyable aspect of the NBA offseason since there hasn’t been any live basketball for fans to watch during this period. The NBA 2K game serves as a helpful distraction for fans during the offseason. With some new players joining the Chicago Bulls this year, it was intriguing to see what ratings they received and also those assigned to the returning Bulls.

These ratings are intriguing because, while they’re for a video game, they seem to reflect real-life performances quite accurately. They can fluctuate based on actual performance too. For instance, if a player is having an outstanding season but their rating isn’t particularly high at first, it could be revised and improved to reflect their enhanced skill level. Conversely, if a player is persistently underperforming, their rating might decrease accordingly.

As an enthusiastic fan, I can’t help but be captivated by the Chicago Bulls in NBA 2K. The team is brimming with promising young talent, many of whom are still green in the NBA. This means there’s a great deal of potential for their ratings to shift, making it intriguing to observe their progress. Not only do they boast established stars like Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball, but the anticipation of seeing what ratings these big-name players receive is always thrilling. Here’s a rundown of the ratings for every player on the Bulls roster:

Zach LaVine: 83

Nikola Vucevic: 81

Coby White: 81

Josh Giddey: 79

Lonzo Ball: 79

Ayo Dosunmu: 78

Jalen Smith: 77

Patrick Williams: 76

Talen Horton-Tucker: 75

Torrey Craig: 74

Dalen Terry: 73

Kenneth Lofton Jr.: 73

Jevon Carter: 73

Matas Buzelis: 72

Chris Duarte: 72

Julian Phillips: 70

Onuralp Bitim: 70

Adama Sanogo: 68

As a die-hard NBA 2K gamer, I gotta say, opinions on player ratings vary wildly and it’s tough to reach a consensus on who deserves what score. Mostly, though, the game seems to have nailed the ratings for these Bulls players, but there are two instances where I think a tweak might be in order when the next update rolls out.

Jalen Smith: 77 overall, 83 three point, 80 dunk

Few players on the Bulls have an overall rating lower than both their three-point shooting and dunking abilities, but Jalen Smith is one of those exceptions. While these two skills aren’t the only factors considered in a player’s rating, it’s not common to find someone who struggles more overall compared to these specific areas.

Jalen Smith’s overall score on NBA 2K should ideally be around 80. His three-point rating of 83 is spot-on, reflecting one of the aspects that makes him such an effective player. This season, he stands out as a captivating acquisition for the Bulls, and it’s plausible to anticipate a potential increase in his NBA 2K rating in the future.

Matas Buzelis: 72 overall, 73 three point, 87 dunk

The assessment of rookie Matas Buzelis’ skills isn’t definitive since he hasn’t played in an NBA game, making it tough to accurately gauge his potential talent level. Interestingly, he shares this trend with other Bulls players who have overall rankings lower than their three-point and dunk ratings.

In essence, it appears that Matas Buzelis is poised for significant growth in his game as future 2K ratings updates occur. Given his intriguing rookie status this season, there’s a strong expectation that he will be among the contenders for Rookie of the Year. Key factors to monitor with Buzelis include his physical stature and three-point shooting ability. Building more muscle would enhance his defensive capabilities, while mastering long-range shots would make him challenging to counteract by opponents.

The NBA season is almost here

Looking at the NBA 2K ratings adds excitement to the offseason, but the actual games are just around the corner as the Bulls kick off their new season in under a month. This is a significant year for the team, so fans, get ready and enjoy the ride! Here’s a preview of the 2024-25 schedule:
