Rondo and Rose are very close 85, to 87 is not much of a difference.

Rondo has advantages on the defensive end that Rose doesn't have. I know yall played that demo Rondo is uber aggressive on defense and got 2.3 steals per game last year. I mean the guy is 1st team all defense in the NBA last year and he was on the second team the year before last. He led the league in steals, 4th in assists as well so I say his passing ratings should be better than Rose. So his awareness is probably better Rebounding Rondo is a better rebounder not just defense but offense. Neither are great perimeter shooters Rose is slightly better than Rondo but he isn't great from the perimeter. Rose is slightly better than Rondo from the freethrow line but he isn't great.

Rose advantage to me is his athleticism so his dunk rating would be higher. So I see why Rondo get the edge.

i don't get what all the crying is about jennings. dude can't shoot period.

that alone is going to hurt him in the ratings. he's flashy, super streaky and he's not a good defender be happy with the rating he has.

most of the ratings are fine but some need to be tweaked a little.

the only one that is 10000000% off is the one for kleiza lmao. He should be in the high 60s at least.

some of the ratings that need to be tweaked are :
- CP3 is rated too high. He and DWill should have the same rating. There is a reason why 50% of people think CP3 is better and the other 50% think deron is
- Dirk is rated too low, only needs 1 or 2 more points though
- There is no explanation you can give me as to why Wall would be a 81 coming out of the box. Let him show that he can actually play in the nba before you put him in the 80s. That should be standard for all rookies. IMO he should be 78 at the max.
- Mgee, though raw is good enough to be in the low 60s.
- And finally tony parker. Dude has been injured but he's not a 78. no way. Gotta be in the 80s as well. If you going to dock him for his injuries do the same with Paul.

Strength Low Post Def Def Aware Rebounding Blocks So why is it that you expect Dirk Nowitski to have a high overall rating as a power forward.

I think playoff numbers are part of it. How can you explain Rondo being an 87. Granted, he had a really good year last season, but his playoff push really put him on the map for the casual basketball fan. If he didn't have that performance, I think he would've been closer to an 84.

Durant had a good year defensively. Better than Melo.

Not really feeling these ratings....Drose should be atleast 88 or 90 and Noah gotta be an 80, John Wall should be in the 70's by far and where is Dwights 91.

I agree 100% Dirk can score but it is usually from the perimeter a lot. Doesn't have many post moves. Basically he is a small forward in a power forward body.

I didn't know that PF's were graded by these qualities...lol

He averages 8.5 rebounds for his career. Amare average 8.9...so does Gasol
Amare's an 86 and Gasol's an 89. None of the 3 defend or block shots well.

Oh and sorry...NBA doesn't have a stat/career category for strength...

Jr,

Playoff influence can be factored into certain ratings, but I don't think 2K is looking at playoff averages between Duncan and Dirk Nowitski do determine overall ratings. Those are two established star players, they know what those guys can do.

Rondo is different because he is still an up and coming talent, so looking at his success in the playoffs is a little more acceptable and necessary.
