2K Sent us the overall ratings for every player in each team's starting five. Give the list a look through and let us know what you think! Did 2K rate your team right? Any surprises? Let us know!
You have to remember how the overall ratings work. You cannot just say that Tim Duncan should only be 1-2 points higher than Dirk Nowitski. The overall rating factors in skills that are relative to that position. If you look at skills relative to the PF position, then the comparison between the two is not close.
If we are talking about their dominance or their importance to the league, then you would have a case. But you have to remember that the overall ratings do not work that way.
I understand how they work. But Tim has been declining for two years now. It hurts me to say that because that's my dude but it's true. I broke down already how Tim is better than dirk (btw it's spelled nowitzki), but I can see why some are upset by the rating disparity. That's all I'm saying.
KEVIN DURANT SHOULD BE A 95-96. CHRIS PAUL SHOULD BE 93. CHRIS BOSH SHOULD BE 89-90. JOAKIM NOAH SHOULD BE 75-77. DERRICK ROSE SHOULD BE 87-88. DWIGHT HOWARD SHOULD BE 90. TIM DUNCAN SHOULD BE 86-87 (ON DECLINE). DIRK SHOULD BE 86-87.
As far as Rondo and Rose, I'm alright with those ratings. Rondo gets more assists and steals per game by a wide margin. He gets about a half a rebound more per game. But he can't shoot to save his life. Meanwhile Rose is on another level as a scorer and already has one of the better mid range shots in the league. 2 point difference isn't that bad.
I hear you guys...I'm talking about right now right now. I saw him recently...but anyways, he definitely must of had a growth spurt over the summer. He's 6'11 now. Either that or he wears heels...
LoL...SMH...Must be the heat... But I'll take your word for it....
I do unstand that arguement,......BUT....Rose outside game is light years ahead of Rondo. Not to mention that Rose carried the Bulls last season. Their was a span of about 6 or 7 games last year where he was flat out dominant against Western Conference teams. I 've never seen Rondo not once carry the Celtics When the rest of the team was flat. We have even mentioned that Rondo is playing with 3 Hall of Famers.
Ok, but they aren't playing at a Hall of Fame level anymore. And putting up 29, 18 and 13 in a game isn't carrying the team? Come on now. Rose and Rondo are completely different kinds of players. Rose is never gonna put up stats like that but no doubt he's a better scorer, but Rondo's got him pretty much everywhere else.
This whole thread is gibberish. You can't even debate ratings based on overall, because specific stats boost the overall more than others. Just stop. Curse you, Steve! STTTEEEEEVVVVEEE!
WOW i hate how the raptors are soooo under rated. Bargnani, calderon and barbosa i could deal with(and barbosa is definitely not starting over derozan)but amir johnson a 64. I say hes a 70 type of player. And klieza a 55.WOOOO now thats way too low.No respect for canada's only team.
As far as Rondo and Rose, I'm alright with those ratings. Rondo gets more assists and steals per game by a wide margin. He gets about a half a rebound more per game. But he can't shoot to save his life. Meanwhile Rose is on another level as a scorer and already has one of the better mid range shots in the league. 2 point difference isn't that bad.
Are you serious? I mean, his shots have improved since his rookie season, but one of the best..? Not even close.
I know the point isn't who is better but how is rose better overall than rondo right now?
Rondo is better at rebounding passing and is worse at athleticism traits and shooting. Defense is half the game and so it makes sense his overall is slightly better
Rondo is overrated defensively;; he lets ppl go by him nd uses his long arms to knock it out frm behind
These ratings threads always give me a good laugh. It’s hilarious seeing people freak out about an overall rating. I’m sure it’s been mentioned numerous times in this thread but the overall rating is the combination of each individual rating. The overall rating is not some subjective number that the developers make up. I have no problem with Tim Duncan being rated higher than Dwight Howard because Tim is an overall more polished player. Sure Dwight has him beat in athleticism, dunking, blocking, rebounding but Tim is better than Dwight in nearly every offensive category. I would have a problem though if Tim had a 99 dunk and Dwight had a 99 free throw. As long as the individual ratings are on point and players play like themselves, I have no gripes.
