Not me man, I know you are kidding but it will happen on here. I don't value the overall I value the individual ratings. If the individual ratings makes sense across the board then you hear no complaints from me. There is too much NBA data floating out there for free IMO for a company like 2K who pays for STATS or whatever else to get individual ratings between players wrong.


The overall is just the formula so they are improving and adjusting their formula to give more role players more value so I see nothing wrong here. In the grand scheme of things overall is "barbershop talk". Who is the best player in the NBA to most fans and what I care about is what this means to a MyLeague which is far more important to me.


What 2K really need to do is, have an individual fan type of rating call it "star power" or something similar and that value can boost your overall while keeping the same ratings you had based off of stats. The star rating can be say a boost to your MyGM finances by bringing in merchandise or money or get you voted to say All-star games even if you are injured or having an average year.


This has happened with Kobe, Rose, Yao, etc. you can keep going but you get my point. So this would satisfy casual fans but when you look at the real ratings you see haha player X who was an All-Star didn't really have that great of a year but is really just more popular so give him a popular boost that doesn't impact gameplay.

Drummond is not a top 5 center in the league and he's an 83. Every other center better than him will be over 85.There will be a lot of players in the mid 80s since there are only 4 players with a 90 overall.

I'm thinking pretty much every above average player is going to be an 80+, especially after seeing how high the rookies are rated. I'm fine with lots of players being rated higher, but it seems as if there won't be much separating the "good" players from the All-Stars. Hopefully it won't matter, but that's something we won't know until we get the game.

You're right, because those stats are the 100% tell all of what makes a great player.

All I know is that if rebounding and athleticism play that large of a role there is no telling what guys like Dwight and Melo will be rated..

Melo can drop 30 at any time and still get you the double digit boards, Dwight is among the best rebounders, shot blockers, and scorers in the league.. At the rate these ratings are going those two might be higher than Durant lol.. Smh

Not serious win that last point, but damn..

Looking back at 2K14 the final rosters have Drummond at an 80 or 81 (can't remember) anyways.. So as long as the large chunk of guys who are better than him around 85+ players then everything should be good.

Way too high at 83, I'm still having a tough time digesting him making the USA team along with Plumlee.

He rebounds exceptionally well, is average defensively and pads his percentage with tip-ins.

At an 83, i can understand people being worried about player differentiation. that said, its neen said that the cpu will take many factors into valuing players.

His FG% on tip-ins is 55%, while his overall FG% is 62%, so I'm curious to know how that pads his %
