NBA 2K reveals usually come at 3pm BST - that's when every Courtside Report has dropped, so we expect to hear what LeBron, Giannis, and others will be rated then!
Ratings release date
You'll have to wait a few weeks for these ratings to come into the game though.
They will land with the next-gen game on 10 November, which is the Xbox Series X|S release date. If you're planning to play on PS5 you'll obviously have to wait a little longer than that.
Will they be on current-gen too?
Yes!
This is one part of the next-gen changes that will be on the current-gen version too.
It remains to be seen how drastic the ratings changes will be, but we expect to see some 99s dished out.

LeBron 98 OVR
Somehow, King James is a 98 OVR. His fourth NBA title on his third team wasn't enough to get him the max.
More ratings will be dropping throughout the day. The Lakers starting five already have theirs, check here for updates!
Giannis 97 OVR
It looks like LeBron will be atop the mountain on 98 OVR, but just behind him is Giannis.
The Bucks megastar will be a force on next-gen!
James Harden 96 OVR
Damian Lillard 95 OVR
Kevin Durant 95 OVR & Kyrie Irving 90 OVR
