NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Not for nothing, but I'm not even a stats guy and I think Dirk and Melo are both more clutch than Kobe.

At the end of the day, I'm just a little concerned that you have guys like Drew Gooden that look like they'll be able to knock down mid-range jumpers all game long and basically play like Dirk.

I thought it would of been alot higher. In my opinion there isn't anyone thats a better floor general than him in the league.

Thats what I was about to say.
folks need to look under the hood.
IMO, 2k does a good job with the overall rateings.
a player cant be rated in the 90s across every category,. that would be inaccurate.

I erroneously expresed my self ... circumstances are use to annalize what the stats reflect ... then again, in the kobe shot a less % than Melo in clutch situations example ... who was guarding him, how much loud was the crowd in those moments, etc ... are circumstances that explain thus do not deny the fact that at all.

As previously stated, there is so much that can be accounted in this video game ... the "circumstances" are only limited to just "off the dribble" or "in traffic" ... altering the stats in order to account for what it doesnt, is the same as altering the attributes to try and get a dessired overall: a huge unbalance.

Not when you have modifier like Shot in Traffic and Shot off Dribble. I doubt he will have a great enough rating in either category for him to be overly effective. He makes mid range shots, open ones. He will be able to do that in the game.

Consistency may also play a part in how many he makes.

I'm assuming all it takes is for him to miss a couple of shots before he gets cold.

Really don't agree with these rosters. After bosh no one is even rated in the 70's on the heat? Chalmers is only a 68. They have the elite players ratings very high and the good players in the league too low. They need to balance the ratings out more.

Re: Kobe's midrange jumper. There are better midrange shooters in the NBA than Kobe Bryant. However, there are few who are more versatile in the midrange game. There are role players who have higher overall ratings on their midrange shot, but those ratings probably wildly fluctuate depending on the type of shot they take (off the dribble, spot up, in traffic, etc.).

In all probability, Bryant-like Dirk-should have little variance in his shot ratings from one type of shot to the next. That is to say, he might not be as accurate in his shooting percentages (or ratings) but it matters little what type of shot he takes. Kobe's biggest strength is not that he's the most accurate shooter, it's that he can take so many different types of contested shots with little fall off in percentages.
