NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Allen Iverson - 95, Jared Dudley - 75, Thomas Robinson - 75

Not so much caught up in AI overall rating as long as it plays like him. I hope he has a layup pack. Can't wait to to play with 01 Sixer's

While I agree with the first part of your comment the second part I must take issue with sir. In order to be rated a mid to high 90's a player must possess other skills rated highly in defense and rebounding etc.

Being rated only high in offense would not lead to a mid to high 90s rating. Case in point: AI was the only player in NBA history to lead the league in steals in for three straight seasons (2000-01 through 2002-03) .

To your point about AI being selfish. He was really the only good offensive option. For example playing with the sixers would you get t-time, lynch, mckie, e snow, and mt. mutombo over 10 shots a game?

They weren't offensive threats. I'm sure AI saw that the same way.

Yes, except that Durant is the second best PLAYER in the league, while Melo is a dominant scorer. Due to Durant's freakish length, he does more things better than Melo and is a match-up nightmare in ways that Melo cannot be. 95 seems fitting for Durant. A 90 seems more fitting for Melo; still dominant offensively, but not quite a Superstar that can take his team to the Finals.

92-99 overall ratings should be reserved for the handful of real superstars, the best of the best (James, Durant, Kobe, Wade, Howard, and probably CP3 (and Rose when he's 100%). Melo's that next tier of star with DWill, Rondo, Westbrook, Love, etc etc that should really be in the 87-90/91 range. In my opinion

I would also like to see Monte and Iggy closer to 85, but Melo's rating is the ONE rating that seems most inflated.
