How the ratings work

OVR is a real NBA 2K peak rating, normalised across eras so a 1960s center and a 2020s guard can sit on the same board without the older player being punished for the league he played in. PPG, RPG and APG are peak-season averages. Both feed the season simulator directly, so the numbers on this page are the numbers your roster plays with.
