Its tricky because you have alot of players who have tailor-made NBA games that might not have lived up to expectations in college but you can tell based off their potential that they would do well in the league... I feel like Chriss is in that category

This...

Thats what I was just getting at... Chriss may have more potential in terms of upside but Valentine deserves the higher rating based off his college performance

To starve it's most raving fans of information is not good will. The marketing... Or lack there of is not the reason. 3 weeks out from release and I have to rely on shaky video and a couple of sparse articles? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good thing there is no deadline for deciding whether or not to buy a game.

I understand 2K is late when it comes to releasing info and gameplay videos but even if nothing dropped until the day before release (which would never happen) most of us would still be buying the game AS LONG AS everything looked good.

2K does this almost every year so I guess I've just grown to accept it. Plus once those developer blogs start releasing they are usually loaded with information and well worth the wait. In fact I feel like people on here become apologetic once the news drops: "sorry I doubted you 2k!" "OMG this sounds awesome well worth the wait!" "September 16th can't get here soon enough!"

Especially when you take into account badges. Take a player like JR Smith for example. His overall rating likely won't indicate what he is or is not capable of. That's where individual ratings and badges come in. JR Smith is a good shooter and scorer and there are nights he can light it up and look almost unguardable. But the next night he might not be able to throw a rock in the ocean and will play sloppy. You're not going to be able to look at an overall rating and determine if he will perform properly and accurately in the game.

As long as ratings aren't egregiously off I'm fine with them. I mean can anyone play and honestly tell the difference between, say, a player who is 73 and a player who is 75 or 76?

I think it's fine to say individual ratings and overall ratings both should matter.

Overall should in theory show the overall value that a player has.

Obviously the calculation to that overall can be different. J.R. Smith is a perfect example. Extremely dangerous because he could go off for 30 on any given night. If he scores less than 10 he is pretty much useless, though.

Watching Cousins get burned in Olympic play repeatedly in high PnR made it even more evident... He couldn't stay in front of anyone...

lol wut, Boogie is better than towns currently, that could change this year tho. cousins is a very good defender surrounded by a bunch of putrid defensive players. and who cares about his play in the olympics lol. tim duncan had trouble playing in the olympics(didn't really care for it lol)
