NBA 2K13 Ratings: Austin Rivers - 67, Amare Stoudemire - 84, Chris Paul - 94

Amare went up by 1 and had a down year. His jumper was off most of the season. I actually thought he would be somewhere in the low 80's 81, 82. There is no way Amare can be rated higher than Aldridge who I think is the best comparison. Similar jump shooting PF's that don't rebound that well.

Austin Rivers gets a 67...can't argue with that. Personally I think it's pretty accurate for his PG ability, the guys isn't good defensively and he isn't a paser by any means truthfully and being that Hornets will probably run him at PG because of Gordan being the starting SG I think 2k nailed it for him

So Isiah Thomas would be at least 95 and Magic Johnson would be like 97.

It's interesting who's ratings they've chosen to reveal. There's been 2 Knicks, 2 Clippers, 2 Kings and 2 Hornets, yet several teams have not had a single player's rating released, including not a single player from one of the Texas teams. I'm not even from Texas, but that hurts.

Westbrook will be at least a 91. No matter what you think of him as a point guard, he's just too athletic and talented, with skills in every category.

you said it yourself what he does better than austin...

hes a much more physical player than austin albeit they play different positions.

Don't worry, Aldridge will have him easily beat with at least an 86. I wouldn't be surprised with an 87 or 88, either.

I'm interested to see what Bosh gets, though. His stats suffer playing with 2 of the best players in the game, but 2K needs to look beyond stats and realize that he's still a great player who should be rated higher than Amare with at least an 85. Hopefully, an 86.
