No, Durant should be rated about 88-90, or wherever Dirk is at. He should be a beast on offense, but is merely only average to below average on defense. The only thing Durant can do right now is score (and rebound some) but he has a long way to go before he's a complete player like Lebron. OVERALL, Lebron is better as a pure basketball player than Durant, and his OVERALL RATING should reflect that.

Some dudes just don't understand the correlation between Overall and Overall Rating. As if the key word "Overall" wasn't enough .

Edit: On Topic: I will be playing as Kobe Jr. err....I mean Nick Young in this mode .

I hope you can change the players age and start their career over again. Would love to re-write history with t-mac

Just don't like the fact that Lebron is a 98, just one point below MJ. I see what you're saying, but still.

Yeah, I don't like it much either, but I can see why he's rated better than Kobe.

I'd much rather Lebron was rated whatever rating Larry Bird/Magic Johnson is.

I don't know about you guys but I'm hyped for this.

I never really liked MyPlayer that much because creating a 5'9 PG in a PG dominated league isn't fun for me. Nor is creating myself+ 6 inches. I much rather go through the mode as a rookie that was drafted and see if I can make them live up past the hype and turn them into a superstar.

Whats up with everyone griping about ratings. As long as the player plays like themselves it shouldn't matter. 2K has done a great job in this department for the last few years, I see no reason to doubt them this go around. And you know what, if you dont like the rating someone has, change it when you get the game.(Its your game to do what you want)

And for all those complaining about LeBron being rated higher than Kobe......they play different positions. Change LeBron to a shooting guard and those ratings may be a little closer but I still think LeBron gets the edge. The ratings are composed of attributes which is what I dont believe people understand.

Ok.......

Rant over

I'm feeling this mode. Never been the type of gamer that wanted to create himself. "My Player/Team Up" online is cool but it is so hard to find a group of sim players and play selection/ CPU AI was so annoying that I lost interested in these modes. I love the player lock controller and the team aspect of fulfilling a role so this mode is alright with me.

I plan on using Terrico White. Grew up with him in the neighborhood of Raleigh in North Memphis. Went to the same high school and he played with my younger brothers coming up through community leagues and AAU. A stud at Ole Miss but has be battling injuries in his early years with the Detroit Pistons. Definitely has the potential to be an elite player in the new era of NBA basketball (pg dominant). Comparison of a young Dwanye Wade.

Also thinking about Creating A Legend with:

1. Elliot Williams of the Trailblazers
2. Thaddeus Young of the 76ers
3. (Hopefully)Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway
