Butler’s overall rating in the NBA 2K21 game was 93, with a build of a 2-Way Slashing Playmaker. While his team did not impress and were knocked out in the first round of Playoffs, Butler’s individual numbers were actually saw an improvement despite him failing to make the All-Star team.

Butler also shot for at more than 51% overall which was the first time in three seasons, and produced career-best numbers with respect to both assists and rebounds. In such a scenario, fans will argue that Butler deserves an improvement in individual statistics as well as his overall rating.

However, considering that he is 31 now, and past the age where players are considered to improve, his overall rating can be expected to be the same as last season. His 93 overall rating came last year as a result of some hugely impressive performances during the NBA Bubble.

This year, Jimmy Butler is not expected to see an increase, but should be able to come away with his 93 overall intact. Hence, Butler’s expected NBA 2K22 rating is 93.
