NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Marc Gasol – 83, Pau Gasol – 87, Serge Ibaka – 81

[WarriorPrince]

People need to pay attention to Stats, offensive schemes, and even advanced statistics before whining about ratings. Mark shouldn't have a rating higher than Pau because Efficiency Per 40, 48, and 36 min would disagree. Stats almost across the board also disagree with that assumption.

I'm highly critical of 2k, but I have to agree with these ratings. LMA should not eminently be rated higher than Gasol because Gasol is a much better defender and rebounder. He may very well end up rating higher, but it's not like it's something that should bother you.

Perhaps his offensive prowess will end up being the x-factor that gives him the slight advantage in rating, but it doesn't even matter if he has a lower rating as long as his attributes match up to his real life counterpart. I doubt that he will have a high rating than Gasol, but it's possible.

I'm thinking he will get an 84-87. His rebounding attributes will be in the low 80's. Griffin and Love have rebounding attributes in the mid 90's and high 90's, respectively. This means he won't be higher than or on par with Love. However, his Awareness traits and post abilities might put him on par with Blake(will have higher athleticism, vertical, stamina, rebounding, etc), but there's a slim chance he will be higher.

LMA may be more skilled than those two in reality, but that does not mean he will have a higher rating. Skill isn't all that matters when it comes to ratings. The only way he would be higher than these guys is if 2k were to give him monstrous Offensive Awareness, Inside, and Close ratings.

Because the guy is assuming that you can't win anything with a franchise big man who can't shot blocks or rebound at an elite level. And that's totally false as you can see

As a Laker fan I'm thinking this is going to be to easy to win it all on association mode just based on ratings so far...hope I'm wrong though.

Gasol is getting older but still had his 2nd highest year in assists last year and 2nd highest year in rebounds as well. I think a lot of the bashing on him comes from the last two year's playoff numbers and that is fair to me, I tend to agree with his play...not up to par IMO.

Bosh will be close to a 87 as well...I'd say 85-87 rating. The whining on that can stop.

Aldridge is 6'11 lol. And I'm not going to do a research trough all the nba history , but it should be more than one.

Do it yourself if you really wanna now

As we said before ... the OVERALL is just a NUMBER.

Not sure why Ibaka is a 81 and Marc Gasol is an 83. If that's the case Marc should be an 85. Some of these ratings are off IMO.

Marc Gasol is right. I would make Pau one point lower and Ibaka one point higher. But overall not bad at all. Really hoping the demo comes out next week.
