While there’s still a long time until talk of the next installment in the series drops, we have some ideas for NBA 2K23 ratings. We believe the NBA Finals MVP Steph Curry will be the highest-rated player this year. Why? We’ll go into more detail on that below. In addition, we also predicted the ratings of some other players.
Who will be the Highest-rated Player in NBA 2K23?

Stephen Curry should be the highest-rated player in NBA 2K23 and should go on to get at least a 97.
The Golden State Warriors are the 2022 NBA Champions! Stephen Curry also won the NBA Finals MVP, which should be the boost that Curry needs to become the highest-rated player in the NBA 2K23.
In this year’s NBA Finals, Curry averaged 31.2 ppg, 6.0 RPG, and 5.0 APG. These are the numbers of a future Hall of Famer; thus, he deserves the highest rating in NBA 2K23.
