NBA 2K10: Draft Combine First Look (IGN)

[portlandblazer]

has anyone considered that the 39 overall might not be his attribute rating but that hes ranked as the 39th best player at the combine at that point?

just sayin, i think people get hung up on a number attached to a players name. if kobe plays exactly the same in 2k10 as he did in 2k9 but his overall says 79 instead of 99 there would be a 30 page thread arguing about it.

Agreed, if 2k pulls this off as well The Show did I will be very happy. Especially because it's being taken online. I think this is the future of sports gaming.

That would be overall ranking.

yes but the picture just says "ovr" and being projected at the very end of the draft that doesnt seem too far fetched.

This is what it is I'm pretty sure. It says he's completed 1/6 games. It says he has 1752 skill points in his balance. I'm pretty sure 39 OVR is his default rating or a very early rating and he has yet to increase his attributes with the skill points. Looks like he's just done the drills, got the skill points, but hasn't really boosted his attributes at all.

sorry, i didnt look at that pic, i stand corrected. the point i was really trying to make though was that people make too big of a deal over overall ratings, its just a number, just because a player is 99 doesnt mean they are perfect or because they are 73 or lower that they are scrubs and useless. either way im glad 2k has redone their rating system. hopefully the insider has actually done his job this offseason.

I think the concept is great. And I've been a huge advocate for having a Superstar Mode in an NBA game, so I'm really glad to hear we're going to end up with some variation of one.

What's not cool, is charging for something that could EASILY be put on the disc. I don't want to hear "It's so the fans can preview the game early!", because every year we get a demo and the demo serves that purpose fine. Negative points 2K. Nickle and "dimeing" your fans seems very EA'ish.
