Zion Williamson has been touted as a generational talent, one who could potentially take the mantle from LeBron James as the face of the NBA. This is one of the reasons why he graces the cover of the next gen version of NBA 2K21. While fans haven’t been entirely impressed with 2K21 for a few gameplay/quality of life reasons, Zion is not exactly thrilled with the game because he feels his player rating is too low.
NBA 2K21 has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons this year, but with no competition from EA this year, it represents fans’ only option if they are looking for a fix of NBA action. Fan frustration boiled over when the Make2KFunAgain hashtag made the rounds on Twitter last month. Updates to the game could fix some of the issues, and the team at 2K Sports does adjust certain aspects of the game, like the player rating system.
Knowing that player ratings are tweaked throughout the year, Zion reached out to 2K’s Ronnie Singh—the man in charge of NBA 2K21‘s player ratings—to see if he could give his virtual self a boost. Zion’s push for a higher rating seems to be all in good fun, as an outdated Google search showed Zion at an 81, when in fact he rates as an 86 in the game. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, all was forgiven. Less forgivable would be NBA 2K21 not allowing female custom characters access to The City, 2K21‘s open-world next-gen content.
Zion’s rating of 86 is about right for the young, talented big man. He spent half of his first season out due to injury and was just rounding into form when the COVID-19 pandemic brought things to a halt. The 86 is proof that Zion has a lot of potential, but still has work to do to reach the highest level of virtual superstardom. He’ll have to watch his back though, as this year’s NBA rookies are added to the mix.
Despite the fact that there are a number of flaws with NBA 2K21, the MyCareer mode is still liked by many for being a robust and engaging create-a-character mode. The inclusion of the WNBA has been a long time coming, so for the women to finally get their due is great. Ultimately, the pros & cons of NBA 2K21 make it a tough game to love, but at least Zion is happy.
NBA 2K21 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
