With less than two months remaining until NBA 2K19 hits retailers, 2K Sports has begun to roll out more information regarding the premiere basketball video game, including a few player ratings. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the 20th Anniversary Edition cover athlete, LeBron James, will boast a 98 overall rating.
Since then, we've learned the ratings of some others, including two All-Stars who were recently traded for one another. In showcasing what Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan will look like in their new uniforms, the official NBA 2K19 twitter account has revealed that Leonard will be a 94 overall, while DeRozan checks in at 89. Additionally, two of the star rookies from last season, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, will start off with 87s in 2K19. As of now, specific attributes, such as their dunk rating, remain a mystery.
Purchasing the 20th Anniversary Edition of NBA 2K19 ($99.99) will give you early access to the game on September 7th in both digital and physical on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and digitally on Windows PC. The NBA 2K19 Standard Edition will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 system, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC platforms on September 11th.
