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!
Uh, Lebron is a better rebounder, defender, passer and is far more efficient offensively than Bryant. Bryant is still great, but LeBron is the best player in the entire league.
Wrong. Gasol is equally to an aging Duncan, but worse than Dwight Howard. Gasol has such great offensive skill, but has managed to never score even 20 points a night. Dwight, with his "limited" skills, has done it twice. Gasol is only better at passing and shooting FT's, but Dwight is a better scorer, rebounder and he is the best defender in the NBA.
The L.A. hype is in full effect I see. They are the two best players on the best team in the NBA, not the best swingman/overall player and bigman in the entire league. People seem to not be able to distinguish between those two points.
Obviously you didn't see what Gasol has done to everyone he's faced, especially Duncan, Howard, Boozer...the list goes on, Gasol is very consistent at every facet of the game which is why his team wins games, even when Kobe is out.
Ariza is too high
Joe Johnson is too high
Igoudala is too high Bargnani is too high
Kirilenko is too low
Nowitzki is too low
Noah is too low
Nene and Kenyon Martin are both a little high
Woooo buddy bargnani too high? I believe he's too low. Only a 74. I swear that he had the same player rating last year. And i know bargnani improved last year. Should be like a 78 and also dont know how he's not the best player on raptors with barbosa beating him.
Derek FIsher 69? underrated much, don't know wat u guys think but, he should be 78 or something probably 80
D-Fisher, i respect the guy as a player, he is tough as tough gets, but an overall rating of 80, for a guy who is winding down his career, his overall shouldn't be going up, with guys like kobe, pau, lamar, he just runs the offense, sure he has some heroic plays on his resume, clutch in his own right, but not every night, getting a overall of 79-80 you need to be producing bigger numbers every night.
Derek FIsher 69? underrated much, don't know wat u guys think but, he should be 78 or something probably 80
His rating is fine as long as his 3-point rating is about an 80 and his clutch rating are high then he is spot on. That is about the only thing he does now. Strength should be higher then average as well.
Sounds fair to me. Probably a 90 in offense, a 50something on D, combined with a 22 in toughness/88 in softness.
Yeah for a guy who's played 10+ years and very rarely miss a game that sure does mean he's soft.
That soft label is so freaking OVERATED and childish....makes you wonder why teams throw the kitchen sink at Soft player night in and night out and still get abused trying to defend him
But then again he ain't Kenyon Martin so he must be soft........
If you are gonna go by the percentage then you're right. But, you and I both know that his number doesn't tell the whole story. Defenders give Rose a lot of space because his main strengths are his quickness and ability to get into the lane, not his midrange jumpshot. Kobe shot 41% - are you telling me Rose's midrange jumpshot is better than Kobe's? I sure hope not. To say Rose is one of the best jump shooters from 16-23 feet because of the percentage is pretty laughable. With that said, I still think he's one of the best PG's in the NBA.
Here are some of the players who had lower shooting % from 16-23 feet than Rose..
Deron Williams
Richard Hamilton
Mike Bibby
Kobe Bryant
Ben Gordon
Peja Stojakovic
So yeah. Numbers don't always tell the whole story.
You must not watch the Bulls much. Rose is money from 16-23, more often than not. It doesn't matter if they give him space, he hits the shots.
I told the guy who stated that Gasol was better than Howard he'd be hard pressed to find 10 GM's IRL take Gasol over Howard
We weren't debating a video game we were debating real basketball
Oh my bad. I thought this thread was regarding player ratings because of the fact that the thread says ratings...
And the only reason someone would take Howard over Gasol is because he's young. Gasol is a better player.

Kenyon Martin is a punk. And not missing any games only further proves how soft he is in my eyes. Dude shies away from contract like he's made of plasticine. Dude fades away on every shot no matter who is on him. Whatever, goes in, can't stop it, sure, whatever. It's also weak nonetheless.
Let the record show that I do not like 7 footers that play like they're 6'6". HOFer sure. He put up excellent numbers.
Ya those ratings for the Milwaukee Bucks are SO PATHETIC. So bad I might not even buy the game. I am not sure now even....
Look at those ratings for the centers? Are you KIDDING ME? Bogut 82 and Brook Lopez 81? These are high energy defense nearly 20-10 guys when healthy and they are only in the low 80's? How do you rate these guys? Based on wether or not they can run a fast break? UGH.

Deron Williams 1.8/4.1 43% Richard Hamilton 2.8/6.6 43% Mike Bibby 1.3/2.9 43%
Kobe Bryant Ben Gordon 1.4/3.4 41% Peja Stojakovic 1.0/2.6 39%
So yeah. Numbers don't always tell the whole story.
If I'm gonna go by percentage? I'm going by percentage and volume. He makes and takes more mid range shots than Kobe, and on top of that shoots them better. Is he not supposed to take the jumper if that's what the defense gives him? If the numbers don't tell the whole story please tell me the rest.
And not only did none of these players not shoot the ball better from 16-23ft out, they didn't even come close to attempting as many. You have no argument. The numbers don't lie in this instance.

I'm a Bucks fan. Bogut's ok at 82. He's about where he should be compared to the other C's in the league. I have a problem with someone like Maggette being higher than Salmons though.
