NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

[scottyp180]

I look into the ratings too much, especially before the games release, considering they will constantly be changing throughout the season. Complaining that so and so should be x amount of points higher or lower isn't going to make that much of a difference gameplay wise. The addition of signature skills should also make the number rating a little less important this year. IMO as long as players are performing like themselves than I am happy.

I have a question about people who complain about ratings. If, for example, you think Kevin Durant should be a little higher than his rating (let's say 96 instead of 94) do you really think you will notice the difference when you are playing with or against Durant?

I did want to comment in Nash's rating. I'm assuming his higher rating is do to the fact that he is on a better team. Hes skills may not be improving but that doesn't mean he won't play better. He has better scorers around him which can up his assists and will also take the attention off of him giving him better scoring oppurnuties. It's like randy moss when he went to the patriots, it's not like all the sudden he had a huge improvement in skills he was just surrounded by better players which made him play better

Wade still is effective because of the talent LeBron has. Who is guarding Wade? The worst backcourt defender. The best of course is on LeBron. Wade is not a washed up scrub, but he's not a 92 overall, especially in this game, which has legends. Wade is maybe at best a 86-88, with Kobe being at about the same range, maybe a bit higher. There isn't many great SG in the game today, with most scorers being SF's and more and more PG's have the score mentality now. In my opinion, 2k overrates more players than they underrate, which leads to way too many stars.

Wade was playing injured last year and was still able to dominate ball games where lebron was struggling. Bron established himself as best player in the game... I think 97 is a fair rating for him.. But wade is still the 2 nd best sg in the lg... Guys like Manu harden, ray ray, k mart, and tyreke will be rated in the 80's... And wade and Kobe are head and shoulders ahead of that group...hence 90 plus ratings. Don't let injury and a conscious effort to let bron lead the way fool u into thinking wade is not WADE... First step, mid range, finishing and defense are all still there.

As there are probably more players rated 87, I still have hope Aldridge will get this rating, imo he's better than Gasol though..

agree with all of this except that I do think comparisons matter. Durant can be 94 or 96 Idc as long as whatever he is is less than lebron but more then mello. Likewise at every position.... I know the league and if a guy like Russel Westbrook can pass as effectively as Nash or rondo I will go through a few controllers this year haha
