I'm going to copy and past a comparison I made on the 2ksports forums. This should give some perspective on the overall rating.

Quote:

My god Batum is only rated 69 and The Trail Blazers wouldnt trade Batum for Gibson and Deng. However check this out. When I compare both Batum and Deng who has a 77 overall I cant say I would rather have Deng. Look at their individual ratings. http://community.2ksports.com/commun...m?l=558151&t=3 http://community.2ksports.com/commun...?l=558151&t=27 Batum has better three point shooting, layups, dunks, slightly better hndls and pass, better defensive stats all around, better speed, vert, quickness. Basically all Deng really has is strength, rebounding, and overall boosting do-nothing rating offensive awareness. Yes I would rather have the guy with the 69. Oden, Camby, and Aldridge can handle the rebounding. Give me three point shooting, dunking, and defense. You see my point? The overall is just a number. Give me the guy with the 69 over the 77 if he has the ratings that matter.

The overall rating is just a player ranking tool
Thats not to say the individual ratings are good

"I feel"....your right

My Pistons Look Str8 So Far I Wonder What They Rated Tracy Mcgrady, Charlie V, and Ben Gordon
The Lakers Lineup Looks Up To Par Hopefully Lamar Is In The Mid 80s I Dont Really Feed Into The Ratings That Much If The Players Play Like They Suppose To Im Fine With That BUT The Only Thing That Caught My Eye Is Tony Parkers Rating.....Damn

I was with you until this. Jack Haley also has a ring. Who is Jack Haley, you ask?


Only the worst player to ever don a Bulls uniform, but he's got a ring too.

agreed...theres definitely something not right about that. Wall's rating will be lowered immediately for me. That will be the first thing I do when I get my hands on the game. lol

One last time .. hopefully y'all get this:

For all those with the Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan comparisons .. c'mon. If you really know basketball - Tim 9even last season) is a better overall ball player than Dwight. Dwight's offensive awareness alone would suck down his average -- but his dunks and blocks are likely still 99. So you figure
Dwight 99 (dunks)+99 (blocks)+ 60 (offensive awareness) = 86 (rounded)
vs Tim 83 (dunks) + 87 (blocks) + 94 (offensive awareness) = 88
-------
Please dont obscure my point by focusing on the specific numbers .. just understand the logic.
Same goes with a lot of the other ratings .. your debates will still be there .. but understand that this is a critical factor when looking at differences of 1-2 points. Specialists will generally have lower overall numbers .. fyi. Dwight is a definitely a specialist if I ever saw one.
Young bucks on here .. keep reading man -- it'll get your bball IQ up. This stuff even helps on the real courts.
