I can’t get mad at a Sauce 73 or a TLC 72. With that in mind, the 2K18 ratings are fairly accurate. A 79 overall rating simply won’t cut it for Ben Simmons. This, among other things, should result in a better, fast, stronger Simmons. I get it, the guy hasn’t played an NBA game yet, but the talent is there. While in WWEs real life ring hed just gained promotion to the main roster and on the. Clearly, Simmons didn’t take lightly to the reveal initially:īut, what can you expect, right? Clearly, the guy feels like he has a chip on his shoulder. A Superstars rating in WWEs marquee video game can be seen as a report. Now, we already knew he ranked at a 79, but to me, this is only temporary. Everything seemed fine until I got to Ben Simmons.Įverything seemed fine until I got to Ben Simmons. Covington and Saric both clocked in at a 78, which was strange but understandable. Fultz seems in the right spot overall, for now. Then again, he did dominate when on the floor, so it’s a give-and-take situation.
It makes sense, although I had the suspicion that they’d rank him at an 84 or so just based on sample size. First, you have Joel Embiid clocking in with the team-high 86. Jack Gallagher is really good though so I expect him to trump some of those who weigh more than he does.Honestly, the ratings themselves seem fair and balanced. Here is how each male and female superstar ranks according to their overall rating from highest to lowest. If their division is cast aside from the main roster I fully expect Neville to be handed a 99, but it's likely they'll all be handed a reduce score compared to their red roped counterparts. The 'WWE 2K19' Twitter page revealed ratings for some of the superstars over the past month, but now all of the ratings have been leaked. It's going to be interesting to see how any 205 Live Superstars that make it into 2K18 are going to be rated.
This frustration should see his rating stay the same. The Demon King has gone from having the Universal Championship taken away from him after one day to spending around eight months on the shelf to coming back and having a feud with Elias Samson. What a frustrating year's it's been for Finn Balor. And hey, I think a small ratings boost is on the cards since he's proven he can make it through a match without getting a concussion! I believe she's great at the graps and underrated as it is however so she should stay the same at the very least.Īt least his promos are good. After missing a lot of the last year due to injury, added to the fact she's been used sparingly since her return means Emma could well be on for a demotion in 2K18. Those performances prove The Drifter can go in the ring, but the fact he's done so little in WWE and NXT will prevent him from a higher rating.īelieve me if they saw the Emmalina rubbish through I would be handing out a demotion to Emma. He's hanging with Finn Balor on RAW these days which is hushing the doubters that were questioning his call-up to the main roster just after WrestleMania XXXIII. While a demotion in rating is deserved, I think his evergreen popularity will stave it off. These days, he's losing to The Miz and isn't being booked like his mantle as The Lunatic Fringe should be. This time last year, when the boffins at 2K were putting the roster and their ratings together, Dean Ambrose was WWE World Heavyweight Champion with the world at his feet. A few more match of the year candidates under his belt since 2K17 was released and he's getting made to look rather strong on RAW these days meaning a significant increase should be on the cards. Wilder is part of The Revival and they're really good. I still don't know how the developers managed that. I still think casting her as a babyface is wrong as she's got everything a modern day WWE heel needs to have, but the least we can hope for in 2K18 is that her face is nowhere near as scary as it was in last year's game. Dana Brooke: 76 WWE/2Kĭana Brooke might be low down in terms of the women's ranks on RAW these days but there's no doubting she gets better every time you see her. Crap gimmick + being used solely to put guys over on television = low rating in WWE 2K18. In terms of today's product you don't get more jobberish than Curt Hawkins. Yes he's in yet another tag team and yes he's a bad lad now, but he's still arguably the most consistent performer in the company bell-to-bell so I wouldn't expect much change here. Not much has changed for the Swiss Superman in the last 12 months in terms of his in-ring work.
