More NBA 2K13 Player Ratings Revealed - Pippen, Love, Davis, Ellis, Waiters and Iggy

[Colts18]

With Magic Johnson's defensive inabilities and lack of athleticism if he was honestly rated there is no way he would even crack a 90. But he is an all time great so the casuals couldn't be able to accept that.

You don't understand the rating system it sounds like. And this is the ill-logic that arbitrary focus on overall ratings without understanding the mechanics that undergirds them produces.

All I'm saying is if you give pippen a 92..that leaves a bunch of players basically with the same rating that shouldn't be. There's too many players better than pippen for him to be a 92...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Doesn't matter if a bunch of guys have a 92. Overall is just a cumulative reflection of individual ratings. Overalls reflect the skill of the individual. It should not be an if-then proposition. If Lebron is rated this, then Kobe is rated that, then D Wade is rated this, etc.

Feel free to stick to your story, we are all entitled opinions but unfortunately, your story has a shaky plot.

I refuse to believe pippen is only 6 or less points worse than lebron assuming he is a 98 in this game...he's definitely not a 99.

Again, these are the type arbitrary statements that reveal a lack of understanding for how the rating system works. Too many people here rate on emotion rather than reality.

Until year after year he shows that he can perform on that level, he shouldn't be rated the same way pure shooters are rated from deep. 85+ is for shooters. Iggy is not that. His reputation has to knock down that "earned" rating by a few points.

his on court performance should be the only thing that dictates ratings. If we add in reputation, ray allen will never have a 3pt rating below 88 even if shooting 35% IRL. I cant agree bro

I bring up points because lebron does what he does better (besides on ball defense) and scores more with the entire focus of the opposing team on him for most of his career...I refuse to believe pippen is only 6 or less points worse than lebron assuming he is a 98 in this game...he's definitely not a 99.

This is why ratings dont matter. Lebron or Scottie arent the best at every facet of the game ( they both arent consistant shooters, not top rebounders, never lead teh league in blocks or assist, etc etc) but the ratings important to their positions dictate their overall. Sad thing is people get caught up in overall but when you play the game these guys arent " superman" .

they need to get rid of overall ratings and replace it with grades or stars or something ... I just saw someone say Magic should be 97 because Pippen is 92.

so basically in 2012 there are 2K fans who STILL don't understand that the ratings are just a formula, and the overall is not relative to stardom.

he shot excellent last season and excellent in olympics and playoffs, if you watched philly games you would have seen his shot has become consistant. His %%%%%%%%%%% are dictated by his on court play BTW .

Iggy gets no respect. He was an 86 in 2K12 he went up by one in 2K13 to 87. He is not a selfish player looking to jack shots up. That is probably one of his negatives and he doesn't drive enough to get to the freethrow line. He is probably the second best passing SF in the league. I would call him the ideal 2nd tier player because he can play off the ball, play solid defense and score without plays designed for him. Denver would be a good fit for him, uptempo and he can feed other players if need be.

No need to remove the rating. I'd rather remove the social value of baseless opinions instead. Learn to ignore the noise unless it's backed by actual evidence.

It doesn't matter whether you use stars, grades, 25-99, or 1-10 because people will always find a way to compare and contrast. It's human nature.
