NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

[JWiLL02]

As someone who watched all 82 Raptor's games last year, I can tell you DeMar was held back more by coaching than his own abilities. Triano refused to run the ball through him, we'll see more this season.

His lack of handles is completely overblown, he doesn't force the issue and is an under rated passer. It's okay though, he'll get his boost.

He's aware of the situation!

I hope you're right.

I too sat through all the pummelings, but there were flashes of great potential for Demar. Especially those two games vs the Nets in London.

This thread saddens the hell out of me for a multitude of reasons.

• People complaining about Overall ratings. Overall ratings. Let me say it again. Overall ratings. Not the dribble, passing, or even the 3pt rating, but the overall rating. Never in my life have I seen so many people just...mentally breakdown (IE going crazy) after seeing " Overall: #"
• Second of all, this is not Madden. In Madden, key attributes are lowered or upped just so that the players Overall will "seem" right. This affects the core of the game (such as having a reciever not known for speed getting a signifcant boost in speed just so that his Overall will jump higher). Basketball is an entirely different sport. Skills are highly specialized and as such it is much easier to be effective with a relatively lower rated player, unlike in Madden.
• Thirdly, these are the same people that played the demo. The people who actually used Dirk, exclaimed he played exactly like him....then turned around and said his Overall should be higher!? What effect would that have? So Dirk plays prime KG defense now? Is that it?
• People comparing across positions. Why...in the hell...would you compare a SF to a PG? Or a PG to a C? What are you trying to determine? Different ratings matter more for different positions. This shud've immediately occured to some of you. It does no good to compare Dwight Howard to Lebron when one plays Center and another plays Small Forward. Good lord! Every single rational thought just seemed to left the thread once the word "Overall" was introduced (Not you guys who understand, just wanted to be clear.).
• Lastly, the fact that a majority of posters will ignore this post and continue on in ignorance. UGH.

Honestly, overalls mean nothing when it comes down to the actual game. Its the actual ratings in each of their attributes that really matter and so long as those are accurate then I have no problem with the game.

Look what happened in April when Bargs and Jose were out. I remember a game in April against the Bulls in Chicago, which was supposed to be an easy win for them as they tried to clinch home court. Without the typical, stale Jose and Bargs pick and roll to go to, DeMar and Bayless had the ball down the stretch and made big shot after big shot.

I remember Bulls fans on RealGM freaking out..."WHY WON'T THEY JUST GO AWAY!!"...."WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS, KOBE?". I think DeMar and Bayless both had 26 that game, it's incredible Triano didn't have the foresight to start them together earlier in the year.

Anyway, I guess all Raptor fans can hope for is for the season to begin quickly. DeMar, Bayless and Ed Davis will all see big boosts, that's a guarantee.

I actually hate Bayless. I think just because we gave him a hance on the Raps he believes this is his chance to go all out and be the guy. He's always trying to score and only passes when he can't. That's partly why I wanted Kemba or Knight at draft Knight so Bayless could get kicked or play bench. after seeing Jonas play though, I've changed my mind though. I just hope Ed gets more playing time, he gets benched so much and I remember a stretch where Amir got injured and Ed would get a double double every game.
