Who Decides WWE 2K24 Overall Ratings Revealed

2K Games

Every superstar featured in the WWE 2K24 video game has a rating, with Roman Reigns sitting at the head of the table with a mighty 97.

A full ratings rundown of the WWE roster in the latest entry in the game franchise can be found right here.

Bryan Williams, a video game developer for the WWE 2K franchise, has revealed how the ratings were implemented for the current game.

In a conversation with Rob Pasbani of Knotfest, the developer took a deep dive into how the scores were decided, explaining:

“We, as a team, we just felt that there was an abundance of characters in the 90s and the high 80s, which is great, I’m sure, for the talent.

“Like, ‘oh yeah, of course I’m a 98 or a 97, that makes sense to me’.

“For us on the design side, we’re really big on character differentiation and making sure that when you select a character that they are of their appropriate hierarchy on the card because not everybody can be a Roman Reigns.

“You have people that are at the tippity top of the card and then you have people that are not, but there’s no slight on anybody.

“I talked to some of the talents about it and Greg Miller who did the ratings reveal, he did his best to explain that we’re doing something different this year.

“We’re basically looking at the last calendar year and that’s what we do with the current talents.

“We say ‘okay, what has Zelina Vega been on from the time we shipped last year to now?’ Like, how’s her rise? Akira Tozawa, Sami Zayn, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker.

“You know, we kind of take all that into account to kind of see did they hold championships? Were they winning more than they were losing? Are they consistently pushed in a certain area? All that goes into effect.

“But, it has been cool to see on programming when matches occur and they’ll put the game rating of the characters on the screen.”

Asked whether WWE have a say in the ratings for the superstars or sign off on the list, Williams replied:

“It’s mostly us. It’s 98% us. The WWE, they trust us. I think we are trusted partners with them.

“We’re always trying to do right by them and their talents.”
