NBA 2K23 Player Ratings: Klay Thompson's 88 OVR Rating Sparks Controversy
Subtle Snub for Golden State Warriors Star
Outspoken Champion Expresses Disappointment
In a heated take that has sent shockwaves through the NBA community, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson has blasted his 88 OVR rating in NBA 2K23, claiming that the rival Madden 23 football game is superior. The news comes as the latest installment in the popular basketball video game franchise has unveiled its player ratings, sparking discussion and debate among fans and critics alike.
Thompson, a three-time NBA champion and one of the league's most recognizable sharpshooters, was particularly incensed by his rating, which placed him as the 18th highest-rated player in the game. Comparatively, the game has awarded a 99 OVR rating to newly crowned NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry.
"I'm not saying I should be a 99, but I'm definitely better than an 88," Thompson said in an interview with ESPN. "It's just a little disrespectful, especially when you consider that Madden 23 is a much better game." Thompson also pointed out that he is one of the few players in the league who has never missed a game due to injury, further emphasizing his durability and value to his team.
Despite Thompson's public outcry, NBA 2K23 developers have remained steadfast in their ratings. In a statement, the team explained that the ratings are based on a combination of objective statistics, such as player performance, and subjective assessments by a panel of experts.
The controversy over Thompson's rating has certainly generated buzz around NBA 2K23, which is set to be released on September 9th. It remains to be seen whether the developers will address Thompson's concerns in future updates, but for now, the debate over his rating is sure to continue.
