NBA 2K16 Player Ratings & Screenshots - Day Four: Kobe, Wall, Ross & More

[Yuss]

Meh, don't see how 2k is punishing Lebron when he's the highest rated player, will likely still have the most badges and will probably still be the easiest player in the game to use.

Yes Kobe was hurt but it's still not that great of a sample size for him to be in 82 -83 range . Fundamentally Kobe still one of the best . Let's just hope his physical ability is lowered that's all that matters to me

If any other Laker is over 77, I'll be stunned. Can't wait to use them though, in games it's so much more interesting to me when you have to build your team up from the bottom.

Louis Williams or Hibbert could be an 80

Not necessarily "punishing" him, it's just with 2K doing this "all time" scaling or whatever it is, his rating is likely going to be lower than most of all of the other big named legends.

I know he wasn't at his peak/best in the finals, but arguably no other player could put up 36/13/8 while playing under their norm in today's slower pace. Much less without their sidekick, alternate sidekick, and against the best team in the league. While leading both teams in points, rebounds, and assists... Idk I can just see the older guys going up, while some current guys are punished due to this likely over exaggerated new ratings system.

Just for comparison sake, Jordan in the finals against Seattle had a poor shooting series in the finals. Averaged 27/5/4 against a team that wasn't on par to this GS team, in a higher stat paced era, at a point in his career where he was a little past his athletic prime as well playing on the best team in the league.. I guarantee he's still a 99 for that season.

Likewise a good 3 point shooter from the 80's will likely have a higher scaled 3 point shot than someone from today with a slightly lower percentage from outside, even though they had about 3-5 extra feet of free room any time they had an outside look.

Idk, I just think this ratings system in general is going to hurt the more current players while bolstering the "legends" without considering all variables.

All things considered it's not a big deal I know, I just wish if 2K was really going to separate the past legends from other guys that they should do the same with current ones. I mean Durant is barely better than Kobe.

How is 30+ pts 10+ rebounds & 7+ assists not a good showing bra? Lol smh...

Considering he had 0 offensive options and actually won 2 and could have been 7 games if 1 shot falls.

Kobe with a 85 is great.

Tuesday we are almost 3 weeks from the release away .. I hope we get big Bombs the next weeks not just screenshots . I'm not really happy with the few news we get and the game comes also 11 days earlier than last year. I'm not hating but it's a fact

The fact LeBron James had an overall decline while Kobe Bryant remains an 85 cements for me the fact I will not be buying this game until a month after release. There is no way for anyone to rationalize it without just boiling their statement down to "I'm a Kobe Bryant fan and I want Kobe to remain one of the best in the league."

I'm going to hold off until I see a roster come out that makes sense.

Or you could just edit the ratings yourself.
