NBA 2K13 Ratings - Odom, Jefferson, Nowitzki, Walton, Young and Terry

If Walton still played for the Lakers you can bet he'd be a 75 in this game lol

Yes, and he should be. Nick Young is irrelevant and inconsistent.

When can Dirk get some respect?

Damn Lamar. I was expecting him to be rated a bit higher than that, but after last season I guess it's warranted. Hopefully he has a rebound year.

Dirk is probably about right, considering his rebounding and defense are quite a way off his offense. It's just that near enough everybody else is overrated.

What is people's beef with Dirk's rating? I think, for once, the 2K Insider's got it right here. 85 is fair for Dirk. He's a pretty average defender and a weak rebounder for a 7 footer. I'll admit that his low offensive rebounding numbers are probably because he plays further from the basket, but you can't just be giving artificial boosts because he can shoot well.

I say this all the time: 2K has the frustrating propensity to overrate skilled offensive players in other areas of their game, just to please fans. Dirk will play like Dirk. It's the same situation with 'Melo; he doesn't deserve a 92 just because he can score... especially after last season.

Odom's rating is spot on - if he played like he did last season for his career, he wouldn't be worthy of a 65. 71 is on the money.

I'm also happy that Nick Young is low 70s.

Why would Melo be rated so much higher than Dirk?

I dont have a problem with Nick Young's rating.
But you agree Terry should be a 77?

If anything I think Terry should be around 74-75 & or they should be even...
They do the exact same thing.
Come off the bench & score.
Specifically...Nick Young can create his own shot off the dribble...he can spot up...he can dunk on people(lol)...& is more athletic.
Terry is just as inconsistent which is why he plays off the bench...
and is on the decline of his career.... no shade tho...
Im just saying...
