For real, man.

Maybe it's cuz they have his D down low or something. Could be one of those deals where his offense is in the low 80s and his D is in the 50s, so it all averages out. Still, I don't think he's 11 whole points lower than Collison.

They're were pretty much what and what. Just Collison gets the recognition cuz he was taking over for CP3.

Only the worst player to ever don a Bulls uniform, but he's got a ring too.
Actually I was trying to refer to the 2k11 commercial with David Lee, Derrick Rose, and Rondo but it didnt come off that way.

85-89: Perennial All-Star (All-NBA Second Team)
80-84: All-Star Caliber (possible All-Stars or even All-NBA Third Team)
75-79: Average NBA Starter (or Sixth Man of Year contenders)
70-74: Below Average Starter (or typical 6th/7th men)
65-69: Rotation Player (8th-10th men)
60-64: End of Bench (11th-15th men and most D-League callups)
55-59: Should not be in NBA (i.e. training camp invites w/ non-guaranteed deals)
50-54: Hopefully earned their college degree.
That scale is meaningless. We have all seen players with the 'right' individual ratings outperform players with much higher overalls. The offensive awareness rating alone can swing the overall 10 points or more and offensive awareness doesn't really do much unless you are siming.

# 125 Basketball GURU @ 09/23/10 03:14 PM

Thats the scale from 2k.... Not me....So.. if you got problem with it, talk to Mike Wang

I know these OVR ratings mean nothing and have no bearing on how the individuals play, but here's my quick assessment:

Too high: Evan Turner, Stephen Jackson, Blake Griffin, Rudy Gay, Dwyane Wade, Trevor Ariza, Deron Williams, Ron Artest, Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Darren Collison, Tayshaun Prince, Shane Battier, Jeff Green, Andre Miller, Greg Oden, John Wall

Yeah I was just about to point this out to.

Either the Minnesota Timberwolves want to lose as many games as they lost last season or there's an error with the starting five that excludes Michael Beasley.

Actually that is not the scale from 2k. That's a scale that an Os member made, 2k never talked about any rating scale, and We cant talk to Mike because He wasnt with the 2k franchise when they implemented the new ratings last year.

Thanks.

Yet another title I'd like to see overall taken away.

Love the ratings, hate the overall rating!

So what would we have instead of an overall rating? Just curious.

A bit better? Yes. Better by a whole tier? No.

Dude averaged near 20 points as a starter last year and shot 45%. Sure, it was 17 games, but this was all near the end of the season. I'm not sweating it much because if NBA Today 2.0 is more on point with updating ratings, that'll change soon enough. Especially with CP3 feeding him the rock.

Really all sports game at this point can dump overall rating and probably should. But I guess is so iconic in sport games they keep it. More trouble than it's worth in my opinion.

They could just post the letter grade ratings.

I agree with the guys saying overall rating really doesn't matter. Some catagories effect the overall a lot more than others (D and O awareness). So unless you go in and look at all the individual cat. ratings, you can't really say a guy's rating is off. And even then, it's a subjective thing.

The one thing that stands out for me is the void left by superstars leaving their teams. LOL Look at Bosh, LeBron & Amare's replacements.

Amir Johnson, Jamario Moon & Hakim Warrick? Hahaha!

Nothing. Just have a players individual ratings.

This way 2K can avoid this type of "freak out" over ratings.

People are saying guys are over/under rated but don't know the "under the hood" information.

Any chance the ratings of the classic teams can be posted?
