NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

IF YOU EVER QUESTION WHY KOBE HAS A 78 MIDRANGE RATING. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT WHY THIS IS IN MY BLOG ON HERE.

PERCENTAGES DON'T MEAN SQUAT...... PERIOD. I just saw Matt Carroll ( Who is this?) with a 91 midrange and I think this just ruined my day.

For what it's worth, Matt Carroll has been one of the highest rated shooters in the game for as long as I can remember. And Kobe's biggest strength is his moves, not his shooting (shooting is still pretty good though).

I know I don't, and I hate that people use %'s to justify the rating.

There are so many things that go into a mid range rating besides %'s.

Take for example Serge Ibaka (77 mid range) and Zach Randolph (69 mid range).

Who in there right minds would think Serge Ibaka is a better mid range shooter than Zach Randolph??


Serge Ibaka is a spot up shooter. Most of his shots are wide open, he isn't forced to take bad shots due to shot clocks and being the primary scorer of his team like Randolph.


This increases his chances of having a higher % than Randolph, that doesn't mean he's a better mid range shooter.

A spot up shooter should be a spot up shooter, don't boost his ratings just because he gets more open looks than a player who's getting double teamed and always has the team's best defender on him .


J.R. Smith has a 91 mid range and Kobe has a 78. That is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference.

J.R. Smith isn't forced to put the team on his back at times, and isn't the only perimeter threat on his team like Kobe.

These are things that you have to take in consideration when you're making the ratings, not just %'s.

If you asked a coach,NBA Player, or NBA Expert who's a better mid range shooter, J.R. Smith or Kobe?? Who do you think they're going to say?????

These ratings are terrible, point blank period.

Don't just make ratings off %'s, get a guy to do the ratings that ACTUALLY WATCHES BASKETBALL AND UNDERSTANDS THE WAY 2K Plays.





My man here said it perfect.

You and your guys' stats. Like they mean something? 2K can put in a formula all they want, but Kobe flat out does not have a 78 midrange jumpshot. PERIOD.

Ray Allen should have a 98 3PT shot. You give that guy the time of day, he is splashing a 3 on you.

poor midrange shooter? I heard that like 30 times in my blog. That is his game now, so he is just scoring 25 on layups then? If there was a poll on NBA.com right now top midrange shooters in the NBA now guarentee Kobe is in the top 10 easily.... So does a 78 midrange rating mean he is a top ten shooter... dont think so.

Where did I say anything about being a poor shooter? I said that Matt Carroll has been rated as one of the best shooters in the game for as long as I remember. And I said that Kobe is a good shooter, so where in there did I imply that he is a poor shooter?
