they seriously need to increase wade.. he's averaging 22 points over 50% shooting.. wade should at least be a 93

# 2 Noof @ 01/05/13 11:29 AM

Glad the nerfed Iggy. Now please apply this update to myteam.

# 3 jd_newton72 @ 01/05/13 11:34 AM

Pitiful that they only update like 20 people. Maddens updates are like 150 people. Know there is more players in madden but come on. Guys like hasheem thabett could use a few points here and there. Guys like that need updates, players that have become fairly constitent role players that are rated in the 50s an low 60s. Also gasol needs to be lowered. Dude hasn't had a good week in two years.

How do you come up with thoses kind of numbers? You just figured out that 22 points on 50% shooting was worth a 93 rating?

How about you tell us wich one of his stats should get a boost? Wade was probably overrated to begin with (like most stars in 2K's) so I don't think he needs anything.

Dirk Nowitzki wasn't a 99 when he was playing out of his mind and making everything in the final and leading his team to the victory. It's not about overalls. It's about, does the player plays like he does in real life? Are you able to duplicate his real life counter's part plays? If the answer is yes he deson't need a boost or a nerf.

Stop it.

Kinda Sad to See the D. Will Nerf, But He deserved it. Im wondering what stats they lowered on Brook Lopez tho, He's Playing great Leading the team in Points.

FINALLY Eric Gordon is healthy

Was 8-3 witho u t him on Online quick matches. Now this will be interesting

# 12 rpandya97 @ 01/05/13 04:40 PM

What about Joakim Noah and Marco Belineli? Noah should go up to a 85 and Belineli should go up to 68-69. And Korver has outperformed his low rating. He should be up to a 68-72. Kris Humphries should drop to a flat 70, DJ Augustine to a 65-67, Carmelo Anthony to a 92 now that he 100% deserves it, Tyson Chandler to 80, Jason Kidd down to 77 only because of low stat production. Monta Ellis to 82-83 and especially lower his on ball defense and raise his steal instead. Jeff Teague up to 77 and Devin Harris down to 72. Raise Metta world Peace to a 74-75 and Antwan Jamison to 70-72. And also whatever the other comments on this post say.

# 13 rpandya97 @ 01/05/13 04:43 PM

Anyone else agree with me that Eric Bledsoe is overrated at 81? He's a great potential player but I think a fair rating would be 72-75 with high potential and athleticism and defense.

Exactly. He's playing decent this year, so I guess that is enough to move him up to a frickin' 81... I guarantee you that if Bledsoe was a member of the Jazz, Trailblazers, or Raptors, he'd still be a 60 something, even if he was starting.

BTW 2k, Mo Williams is injured. Not sure if they updated that or not, but I'm betting they didn't, considering we're in Utah...

Yet Gerald Green plays like a mini-LeBron and has shooting skills in this game that rival most STAR players...you know FUTURE Hall fo Famers...ya know, like Gerald frickin' Green.

Lol don't know why 2K made him play like that. He's insane in the game right now.

Umm I wish I could for quick matches online?

# 18 Dyowman @ 01/05/13 09:16 PM

^^^totally agree!!! I've been saying for years now that both madden and 2k series should just rid the games of overall ratings since they mean absolutely nothing at all. That would lessen these crazy forum comments that constantly complain why player A is not rated as high as player B. it's getting reduculous. I'd light it up with harden for 50 PTs a game in 12 min quarters head to head before any update was applied. So these ratings didnt really do much. He was already a beast.

# 19 stillfeelme @ 01/06/13 01:07 AM

I have to agree with you there George Hill is so slow in this game. If anyone used the Pacers last year in 2K12 and then in 2K13 they slowed him up. It is very noticable

# 20 TJ820 @ 01/06/13 02:15 AM

They need to give LeBron more signature skills. He could basically have every skill except the closer,anti-freeze and the jumpshooting ones
