2K Sports celebrated the upcoming release of “NBA 2K19” which comes out on September 11 (September 7 for those that purchase the Special 20th Anniversary Edition) with a launch party on Thursday in Brooklyn. According to Complex, rapper Travis Scott made a surprise appearance to perform.
There were televisions there for fans to try out the game prior to release. YouTuber Mike Korzemba took a video of every team's starting lineup which includes each player's overall rating.
Here are the starting lineups for each team from worst to best according to their overall ratings.
The number next to the team name is the average overall rating of the five starters.
While these can not be confirmed as the official ratings, the fact that the game comes out so soon makes it seem like these will be the ratings when "NBA 2K19" drops (although Ricky Rubio as a 77 overall seems a little low). Also, all the player ratings that were previously announced such as LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo were the same in the video.
