Trust me, OS is full of em'. That's why I could care less about how the ratings are right now. They'll be fixed once the game drops.

I can only imagine how the 2K Insider blog will be BOMBARDED when the season starts. 2K may regret that idea yet....

its the same compliants every year. now theres always room for improvement. but there comes a time when the consumer needs to get an understanding about what their complaining about.

A 86 rated CENTER in Andrew Bynum = Top 5 rated CENTER in the game.. At the same time, a 86 rated SG in a Kevin Martin will result in a 13th best SG in the game.. The system is biased in some sense. There are more higher rated guards in the game than anything else. So to have a 80 rated center would be something extremely special. whereas a 80 rated guard is average at best. The question is, should 2k balance that out somehow? some of the shooting ratings seem to influence overall rating just alittle too much. so much so that the big guys who may just be inside scoreres and rebounders dont get those needed overall rating point boosts.

TOP 25 SGs:

Average rating of 86.52. Soon ill do the centers. and youll see the average is around 75 or lower.

Amare's post defense: A
Al Jefferson's post defense: B

Meanwhile, Kendrick Perkins' post defense is down at C+, and Jason Collins' is down at C-? Heh... really?

Steve Nash/Eddie House's perimeter defense: B-
LeBron James' outside shooting: B+
Tony Allen's IQ: B-

Malik Allen: 75 overall
Glen Davis: 66 overall
(or better yet: Chris Quinn 76, Malik Allen 75... Rodney Stuckey 74)

Dwayne Jones: 72 overall
Anderson Varejao: 71 overall

Really?

I haven't complained about a single thing regarding NBA 2k9, but I must say that a lot of these ratings/grades are blasphemous.

I have a lot of work to do, as far as editing is concerned, this year.

Who actualy does these ratings?

LeBron is rated a B+ for his outside shooting and an A- for perimeter defense. LOL....you gotta be kidding me!!!

Anyone who watches and follows the NBA knows that LeBron is an average (at best) perimeter shooter and defender. WHY must 2K completely overrate him in those areas?

Absolutely ridiculous.

IMO this hurts their credibility for the entire game!

He still has some room to improve and his rating should reflect that. BTW, Jason Kidd being rated a 92 is kind of a joke. No disrespect to one of the greatest PGs to ever play the game, but is dude still that good?

J Kidd was having his best year then when he went to the mavs he wasnt doing so well. He had like 11 triple doubles as a Net last year and only 1 as a mav

No it doesn't. A lot of these ratings are questionable at best, but that certainly isn't going to leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. It's easily fixable. If you're an online player, these ratings will be constantly altered based on how each player is playing during the regular season. If you're an offline/Association player like me, these are still easily adjustable. Go edit some ratings.

Again, I disagree with a fair amount of these ratings, but I'm still more than convinced that NBA 2k9 is going to be the best basketball game of all-time (until 2k10, that is).

Not to bash on my own team, but 2k has really overrated our rookies...
