Breanna Stewart is a women's basketball icon who has been dominating the WNBA for years since coming into the league as the Seattle Storm 's first overall pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft.

Now starring for the New York Liberty , Stewart is one of the league's most versatile players and a dominant forward.

Her 98 overall rating makes her the top female basketball player in the game, and for good reason.

2 A'ja Wilson – 98 Overall

Last year's rating – 98

A'ja Wilson has been in the WNBA for seven seasons and has been an All-Star in six. Combined with a Rookie of the Year Award, two MVPs, two Defensive Player of the Year Awards and two championships in 2022 and 2023, there is no doubt Wilson is one of the game's best.

Last year's rating – 87

One of the most significant jumps in NBA2K25 ratings belongs to Alyssa Thomas.

In NBA 2K24, she had an overall rating of 87. This year's iteration of the game boosts her by seven points, catapulting her to the third-best WNBA player in the game.

The veteran is putting up excellent stats so far in the 2024 season. In 24 games, she is averaging 11.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists while shooting 52 percent from the field. Her strongest individual ability in NBA 2K25 is her defense, where she is rated 85.

Despite averaging 9.2 rebounds this season, that is her weakest category in the game, as she is rated 69 in rebounding. Even though she doesn't possess any individual rating over 85, she is well-versed in every other category, particularly defending (85), catapulting her overall rating to 94.

4 Napheesa Collier – 93 Overall

Last year's rating – 91

Napheesa Collier has been one of the strongest and most versatile players in the WNBA this season.

Through 20 games, the Minnesota Lynx forward is averaging a double-double with 20 points and 10.2 rebounds to go along with 3.7 assists and is shooting 46.8 percent from the floor and 31.6 percent from deep.

In NBA 2K25, Collier is rated 93 Overall, fourth-best in the game.

Her outside scoring ability is her best trait, rated at 87, and she also puts up strong numbers in defending and athleticism (83 and 82, respectively).

It is, therefore, no wonder why she is ranked as one of the best.

5 Elena Delle Donne – 92 Overall

Last year's rating – 92

The Washington Mystics have gotten something special in Elena Delle Donne. Though she is almost 35 years old, Delle Donne is still putting up decent stats and is ranked highly in NBA 2K25.

Delle Donne's strongest skill in the game is her outside scoring, which is rated 94. That figure is actually higher than her overall rating of 92, something that is not often seen.

Delle Donne also features a three-point rating of 85 and a mid-range shot rating of 92. This makes her a threat from all over the court, even past her prime.

6 Brittney Griner – 92 Overall

Last year's rating – 92

The 6-foot-9 center from Phoenix, Brittney Griner, is back and better than ever in NBA 2K25.

She is having a tremendous 2024 season, averaging 18.6 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 55.8 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

Despite her having an above-average three-point percentage so far this season, that aspect of her game is not represented in NBA 2K25. She is rated just 59 in that category.

However, Griner has an 86 outside scoring rating, including a 91 mid-range shot rating.

7 Sabrina Ionescu – 92

Last year's rating – 90

Her greatness carries over to NBA 2K25, where she is rated 92 overall.

Like most of the top players, her outside scoring is her top ability, where she is rated 90.

Ionescu also ranks in the mid-80s in both playmaking and athleticism (86 and 85, respectively).

Combined with her 95 three-point rating, she's one of the most dangerous players in the game.

8 Nneka Ogwumike – 92

Last year's rating – 92

Nneka Ogwumike is a 12-year veteran in the WNBA who has maintained consistent play through age 34. Therefore, it is no surprise that she is one of the top-ranked players in NBA 2K25.

Ogwumike is well-versed in every major 2K category, with outside scoring being her best ability at 83.

However, she also has an 84 defending rating and an athleticism rating of 81.
