The Glitch Explained
NBA 2K, a popular basketball simulation video game, is known for its realistic player ratings based on real-life performance. However, a recent system error caused Ben Simmons’ rating to skyrocket to an unprecedented 99. This rating is typically reserved for the game’s most elite players, such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James. The error was quickly identified, and NBA 2K issued a public apology to Simmons, acknowledging the mistake and promising to rectify it immediately.
Ben Simmons’ Actual Rating
Ben Simmons, currently playing for the Brooklyn Nets, has had a fluctuating career marked by both high expectations and significant challenges. As of NBA 2K24, Simmons’ rating stands at 76. This rating reflects his recent performance, which has been impacted by injuries and inconsistent play. The drastic jump to 99 due to the glitch was not only inaccurate but also misleading for fans and players of the game.
