Don't look at overalls as the end all. How do these players compare to others at their respective positions?
i love the ratings...good job 2k..
dont just look at the overall ratings people. ex. Dirk N. is a 83 because even though he is a great offensive player, he suck on defense. Therefore his defensive ratings like d. awareness/hustle/steal/ stats are low..
Plus, does 2k still do rosters updates??? stop crying
I do believe Rondo is overrated as 2 way as he is he is tied for 10th best player on this game his defense is great but offense is inconsistent! James Harden being ranked so high is given if you watched any summer league play! For what I have heard about Kevin Durant and how he has continued to improve over the summer I feel as though he is highly underrated. Other than that nothing really stands out to me...everyone else will have to prove their dominance throughout the season to get a boost! Dirk, Pierce, J Kidd, and T Mac are all on the decline this year! I think the spread of player abilities will make for a much better sim this year, but KD him and Roy will be the best young stars in the league! ( I also disagree with Rudy Fernandez being ranked sooo low)
This game might be the best ever with that said I dont agree with some of the rating Ariza is a good defender but per. d shouldn't be higher than battier lebron is a 97 on D he is good at playing passing lanes and blind side blocks but on ball D is a B at best take D wade over 100 blocks and steals better on ball D and he's a 96 its a couple more but dont have the time
Thanks Steve for taking the time. I still don't get why thy keep the overall rating within the game when clearly it is useless. Ratings look good for the most part. Rookies are rated a bit high for not playing a game against veterans. Summer league is summer league. Wonder what the Nog is feeling about this.......
Oh, why not just do the cartoon avatar instead of the black silhouette??
I'd be interested in seeing the breakdowns of player ratings. Rondo is an 87 overall, but I would assume his jump shooting and 3 pt shooting ratings are pretty terrible. If that is the case, then it is fine. But if the NBA2k10 production team decided to augment his game at the expense of realism to make his rating better, I will be very dissapointed.
before we all start crying about the ratings, let's keep in mind that ratings are NOT subjective this year. they are derived from 82games.com.
MEANING that overalls are taking into acount things like defense, rebounding, turnovers & far more minute things than that according to these new ratings & the scale.
example: Dirk being a 83 overall while Garnett & Duncan are much higher overall are results of rebounding & defense which Dirk does not match them in. sure he's a scoring machine & im sure with those offensive ratings & tendencies, it will translate in-game.
