At least where Kobe is concerned. My last game with Kobe I was 2-12 I tried to force the action a bit to no avail. I don't see anyone really winning games by playing through him unless they move him around and find really favorable matchups. There have been lots of under the hood changes that effect how the game actually plays out. So it might be worth seeing what you can actually do with each guy before burning the house down based on an overall number.

You know that you saying this is pure torture don't you? We're all dying to know about the gameplay changes that you're referencing.

Can't wait to play

2k/EA ratings are always politics. Can't wait until the community makes some proper rosters. Look at any 2k game, you see some scrubs like JR and Felton boasting 80+ overalls.

Kobe an 85 is laughable, but not surprising from a video game company.

As someone informed on the ratings as much as anyone, I disagreed with the comment on the Hangout. The players really don't have any influence, and it's an insult to Beds to suggest otherwise.

(Kyrie has an 81 Vert rating at present, which jives with his reported vert of 37 inches)

Same with Whiteside

The dude had a 27 PER and there are people who act like he doesn't deserve a low 80s rating. If I had 27 PER and was a 66 OVR I would be bitching too.

1. Rose's rating hasn't been released.
2. There have been plenty of Rose rating detractors throughout the year, myself included (I had the dude rated 80 OVR heading into the season)

Quote:

So as soon as you hit 37, you're going to be injury-riddled? That sounds sh***y

1. When you're a high-volume guard? LOL most of them fall out of the league due to injury before they even turn 32!
2. Kobe has been playing hurt the last decade but you think he's gonna stay healthy now??

Quote:

That's what I'm saying Rashidi.. I don't remember this much backlash when Rose started with an 88. People were much more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

1. Rose is 10 years younger than Kobe.
2. Literally, Rose is 10 years younger than Kobe. I think Rose is overrated trash but it is clear as day that they are in two completely different points of their career arcs.

Quote:

25, 5 and 5 over the last 3 seasons...

If only stats from 3 years ago actually mattered.

2013 Kobe: 27-6-6 (39 MPG, 51 2PT%, 32 3PT%, 84 FT%)
2015 Kobe: 22-5-6 (35 MPG, 40 2PT%, 29 3PT%, 81 FT%)

Guess which one of these matters more than Points Per ****ing Game?

Quote:

"rich man's Evan Turner"... you guys kill me sometimes

Turner averaged 10-5-6 (28 MPG, 46 2PT%, 28 3PT%, 75 FT%) this year. They are point-wings who NEED the ball in their hands to even be remotely effective (and by that I mean have a nigh negligible team impact). At least Turner understands his offensive limitations and tries on defense and doesn't cost his team 25 million.

LOL there's also this

Shooting Guard RPM
1. James Harden (+8.50)
2. Khris Middleton (+6.06)
3. Kyle Korver (+5.42)
4. Danny Green (+5.41)
5. Jimmy Butler (+4.30)
6. Wesley Matthews (+3.65)
7. Klay Thompson (+3.64)
45. Evan Turner (-1.37)
53. Kobe Bryant (-2.15)
68. Dion Waiters (-3.52)
83. Lance Stephenson (-4.82)

Kobe was not an effective basketball player last season and it's very clear from looking at the top players on that list that he isn't anywhere close to fitting the mold of what one actually looks like in the year 2016 irrespective of his age/health (where defense and shooting are a thing).

Kobe JUST 85??

Too low. He may have lost a step and still makes bad shot decisions, but the guy, hands down, still has the best offensive skill set in the league, bar none.

This is coming from a Suns fan.

[DaKoKing]

The discussion of Kobe Bryant's rating make for a good example of why putting out a game is so tough. You've got everything from casual fans of basketball/NBA to hardcore fans to basketball professionals all looking to get something in particular from the game.

Man I been trying like hell not to say anything. I rather just show you guys LOL. Just hang in there fam. We got a lot to discuss on the game-play front.

I just need to stop reading threads until we can talk but I been coming since before what, 2002 ? so it's hard not to pop in every day. LOL
