NBA 2K25 November player ratings: Jayson Tatum, Anthony Davis, & Kevin Durant make early season impact

As a seasoned basketball enthusiast with decades of watching and analyzing the game under my belt, I find myself intrigued by the NBA 2K25 ratings unveiling. With a career spanning from the days of Magic Johnson to the reign of Luka Dončić, I’ve seen it all – the rise, the fall, and everything in between.


I’m super excited about the first player ratings update for NBA 2K25’s 2024-25 season! They’ve made some notable changes for three top players: Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kevin Durant with the Phoenix Suns. Each update aims to mirror real-life performances and acknowledge those who are making a significant impact early in the season. This November, these three stars have received substantial upgrades, emphasizing their solid starts and suggesting that we can expect even more greatness from them this season!

Jayson Tatum boost to 96 overall rating

Jayson Tatum has made a strong debut, cementing his position among the NBA’s top players. Following the Celtics’ victory in the NBA finals last season, Tatum has come back with increased determination, scoring an average of 30.2 points, grabbing 7.4 rebounds, dishing out 4.8 assists, and snatching 1.8 steals per game. He is managing to hit 48.3% of his shots from the field and 36.9% from three-point range, demonstrating MVP-level performance as the Celtics begin their season with a record of 7-2.

After suffering a 118-112 defeat against the Golden State Warriors, Boston continues to be a formidable team in the Eastern Conference, with Tatum’s play being a crucial element. Impressing many with his strong early-season performance, NBA 2K25 has boosted Tatum’s player rating to an impressive 96 overall within NBA 2K25, positioning him among the highest-rated players in the game.

Anthony Davis jumps to 96 overall

With the new Lakers coach JJ Redick at the helm, Anthony Davis is having a stellar season as the main focus of the team’s offense. He’s putting up impressive numbers, averaging 32.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 1.6 steals per game. This versatile player combines offensive might with defensive skills. With a field goal percentage of 57.1%, Davis is a strong contender for both the MVP award and the Defensive Player of the Year title.

In my gaming world, after starting off with a 4-4 record, I’m eagerly looking to gather some momentum as we push forward into the season. My teammate, Davis, has been making waves early on, and his performance has bumped up his overall rating to an impressive 96 in NBA 2K25, solidifying his status as one of the league’s top players to watch this year.

Kevin Durant increases to 95 overall

Kevin Durant, now in his 17th NBA season, continues to demonstrate that he’s one of the league’s top players. At 36 years old, Durant has had an impressive start, with averages of 27.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. His offensive prowess is noteworthy, as he boasts shooting percentages of 55.1% from the field and 42% from beyond the arc, making him a consistent scoring option for the Suns.

Kevin Durant’s significant contributions have catapulted Phoenix to an outstanding 7-1 league record, placing them at the summit of the Western Conference rankings. His reliable scoring and leadership keep him rated at 95 overall in the most recent update of NBA 2K25.
