NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Kobe - 93, Melo - 92, Rondo - 90

[2k10Fonzarelli]

part of my take on overall ratings is that Form is temporary. Class is Permanent.

Flawed logic?

Do you realize how many copies of Call of Duty are sold? Modern Warfare 3, the most recent iteration (Black Ops II is not out yet), sold 6.5 million copies across 360, PS3, PC, and Wii within 24 hours of it being released. Over 20 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide.

You are going to tell me that more than 10 million of that 20 million play the game on-line? Not even close. I would say, at it's peak, there may have been 5 million players across all four platforms (with the 360 being the lion's share) playing the game on-line. This includes the super casuals that might fire the game up once every 1-3 months just to play a new map or a game with their friend(s). Even then, that's only 25%, hardly the majority.

Please do not attempt to take me to task, without any proof. As I said before, regardless of the game, the majority, which means more than half, do not play on-line. The only exceptions are games which can only be played on-line (MMORPG's and such), and those are generally PC-only games.

Not sure what similarities a game like COD woiuld have with a sports game.

Fact still remains that there is a big part of the 2k communitiy that plays online modes. So the solution of editing roster ratings is not a viable fix because they do not transfer. Thats a fact.

When you consider the fact that it's all but impossible for Call of Duty to support 20 million players at one time...yeah.

I think you missed my point each position certain ratings mean more than others. Rondo hasn't really improved on anything involving shooting ft, med 3pt. His passing is pretty much maxed awareness, defense all near the highest. So either they changed the formula or increased some of his shooting ratings. I hope it is just the formula to rate his affect in association. I like Rondo so this is not a knock on him.

The same with Durant he went from a 94 to a 95. None of his shooting changed he is almost maxed for med. I think they probably gave him a bump in defense and maybe a slight increase for passing.
