From June to October, the NBA is on stand-by, and the fans take their troubles patiently. Apart from the draft and the opening of the free-agency, few things to put in their mouths for fans of the North American orange ball. Fortunately, the league should announce the schedule for the upcoming season shortly, and French fans will be able to start planning their trip to the country of Uncle Sam. And many will want to get their hands on a precious sesame: a place to watch Spurs play Victor Wembanyama.
NBA 2K24 made no mistake about it. As usual, the ratings given to the players fell drastically during the summer, and the young Frenchman, number 1 in the last draft, inherited an 84. The one we nicknamed Wemby is already a phenomenon. This is quite simply the highest rating ever given to a rookie by publisher 2K. Now let’s hope he lives up to the expectations placed on him.
Gradually, other gameplay elements of NBA 2K24 reveal themselves. We now know the ten best players in the next edition of the game, which is set for release on September 8.
And while he is nevertheless the MVP of the regular season, Joel Embiid does not inherit the top grade. The developers preferred his rival Nikola Jokic, champion with the Denver Nuggets. With a 98, the Serbian pivot leaves behind him a peloton made up of Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and so Joel Embiid, all rated 96.
For many years, the NBA 2K saga has been at the top of the basketball simulation hierarchy. Problem: competition has also been non-existent for many years, with the former NBA Live competitor having laid down their arms since 2019. We know that monopoly can sometimes lead to less effort, and the voices are indeed starting to to speak out against the 2K franchise, which may have become more lazy, and fallen under the yoke of micro-transactions.
No doubt about it, NBA 2K24 will be a good game of basketball, as it has been for several years. Despite everything, it must be recognized that the saga no longer evolves much, and players are entitled to expect more than a simple annual update of the workforce. Even more when the game is displayed at 80 euros.
Each summer, the disclosure of player ratings acts as the first promotion for the game. It’s not much, and we are impatiently waiting to learn more about the “Mamba Moments”, the novelty of the script for this 2024 version. Replay the highlights of the late Kobe Bryant will be one of the highlights of the title. Will this be enough to satisfy the demanding public of sports simulations? See you on September 8.
