Last season saw the closest MVP race in years, with Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and eventual winner Steph Curry spearheading a heated race for the award. Several other players had their moments throughout the season, and although Curry's Golden State Warriors eventually triumphed, 2014/15 can be seen as a season of fantastic performances across the NBA. But what will this mean for NBA 2K16's player ratings? Every year, fans eagerly anticipate the changes implemented since the previous instalment, excited to see how far their favourite players have improved - or deteriorated. Debates over ratings have almost become as important as the series itself, with each change guaranteed to spark discussion. Last year saw LeBron James stay on top with a (frankly scary) rating of 98, placing him three clear points ahead of 2013/14 MVP Kevin Durant. Will James' dominance continue? What will Durant's foot injury mean with regards to his rating? Where will Curry, Harden and Westbrook line up - a trio of players very much in their prime? These questions will all ultimately be answered when the game hits the shelves in late September, but until then, here are my predictions for the top ten players in NBA 2K16 (and their likely ratings).
