I don't think this new rating scale has any logic ... the NBA had rule changes, therefore players can score easily. Defense is softer than the 80s. It is even said by some that LeBron James would be an average player in yesterday's NBA. This is why it will not work. Unless you have special sliders to represent the eras.

Defenses are better today than in the 80s and it's not even close. And if anyone tells you that LeBron would be average in yesterdays NBA... well, they're wrong.

Love the new changes to the rating systems. Everyone was over inflated. They had a scale from 1-99, why not use the full thing? Everyone was good in an area was in the 90s so you could barely notice any difference between players.

There should be a notable difference when Rodman is on the court, compared to someone like Cody Zeller. But it really wasn't a major difference.

FWIW, rodman has never felt like rodman in 2k.

How is KD only a 91? Steph better not have a higher rating than LeBron too, LeBron deserved a 95 his RS stats weren't as good as past year's due to injuries and adjusting to a new system but he was sensational in the playoffs.

I always tinker with the ratings and make my own roster when the game comes out actually analyzing advanced stats and shooting charts so it really doesn't matter to me.

Also, why is that scrub Dellavadova a 71 he deserves nothing above a 69...

2K will make '98 Michael Jordan a 99 and then give players like LBJ and KD who were better than him by that point less than a 95 c'mon a lot of these historical players are overpowered if we're being real yet they set the bar.

Stop listening to biased geezers the game planning and strategics defensively are on another level than the 80's and every statistic related to defense in the NBA is lower low than it was then.

LeBron would be a monster in the 80's his stats would be higher due to pace.

Two things that are gonna determine the success of this.

1. The strictness of this system (for current nba players). Completely based on stats and not reputation. Let the casuals cry.

2. How well this translates into sim stats. If this ensures Jason Smith isn't leading the league in BPG, Damian Lillard isn't recording 9+ APG, Westbrook isn't a 50% shooter, and Drummond will dominate the offensive glass, I'm all for it.
