NBA 2K22 Released and Hawks Fans Won't be Happy
It's officially that time of year again. 2K releases the newest edition of NBA2K (this year it's titled NBA2K22), and fans gripe about the gameplay and player ratings.
Usually, it's best to ignore the negativity on social media, but Hawks fans might have a legitimate reason to feel disgruntled this year. Although player ratings are fluid and updated throughout the season, they certainly started off low upon release.
Check them out for yourself:
| Player | Archetype | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
Trae Young | Offensive Threat | 89 |
Clint Capela | Glass-Cleaning Lockdown | 86 |
John Collins | 3-Level-Scorer | 84 |
Bogdan Bogdanovic | Sharpshooter | 80 |
De'Andre Hunter | Sharpshooter | 80 |
Danilo Gallinari | Stretch Four | 79 |
Kevin Huerter | Sharpshooter | 77 |
Cam Reddish | 2-Way Tempo Pusher | 76 |
Lou Williams | Floor-Spacing Slasher | 76 |
Delon Wright | 3PT Playmaker | 76 |
Gorgui Dieng | Stretch Five | 74 |
Onyeka Okongwu | Finisher | 74 |
Jalen Johnson | N/A | 73 |
Skylar Mays | Mid-Range Specialist | 71 |
Solomon Hill | Floor-Spacing Slasher | 70 |
Fans aren't the only people who pay attention to player ratings. The players themselves are often outspoken about how they appear in the game. Clint Capela posted on his Instagram story about his rating earlier today. And let's not forget Trae Young's ongoing beef with the video game franchise.
Luckily, real games are decided on the hardwood and not by a computer simulator. Like Hawks Announcer Bob Rathbun said in our interview, it's a good thing that everyone keeps underestimating the Atlanta Hawks. We will continue to provide you with updates as the season quickly approaches.
