Rudy gay makes the raptors a fun team to play with. He is unstoppable on a team where he is the go to guy, he was impossible to play with on the Grizzles. On a side note I whooped done guy up 32-11 with the Raptors, he had the Knicks. Funniest thing ever he quit and claimed the Raptors shouldn't be that good lmao!

Now if Earl Clark could get a rebounding, hustle, vertical, and speed/quickness increase we would be fine. The guy is averaging a damn near double double of 12 points per game and 8 rebounds with 3.1 offensive rebounds a game since becoming a starter. He is probably the fastest starter, and the most athletic next to Dwight. Not to mention he is shooting about 40 percent from the 3 point clip since becoming a starter in January.

I was blowing out the SAS with the Raps today, I was so shocked at how many alley oop fast breaks I was getting... almost every possession was a fast break dunk with DeRozan, Gay and Ross.

I remember when the game came out thinking that Thompson was overrated as a shooter...because he was atrocious last season.

Just checked, his defensive rebound is a 59.

A FIFTY NINE

I mean cmon 2k. Good lord.

The way I read your comment I thought you were talking about Chandler the whole time, all I saw was deserves 92 rating and I flipped lol.

And it's hard to get strongly behind a TT boost when it's pretty clear that he's not even the best big on his own team since the Cavs acquired Speights. Which hasn't really surprised me because TT just isn't very good....no matter how hard Cavs fans try to talk themselves into it. Chris Grant is a sissy....he caved to an agent's posturing, and passed on Jonas Valanciunas....that was the pick. He better hope Dion Waiters works out....or in 2 consecutive drafts he will have passed on Valanciunas and Drummond....2 guys who could be centers in the NBA for the next 15 years....and sure would look nice alongside Kyrie. That ain't good.... But he did the same thing in Atlanta when he was part of the front office who passed on CP3 and Deron to take Marvin Williams....true story.

Clearly haven't watched the Cavs in the last month or so. JV sucks and Drummond is still incredibly raw

# 28 nova91 @ 02/03/13 01:46 PM

JV deserves his offensive awareness rating dropped to 25 for getting tricked by Caron Butler.

Ya, and with Bargnani likely returning tonight, hopefully next roster update has that fixed. Cause can't play with Raptors fully yet cause both Bargnani and JV are injured in the game so that's important parts to team that you can't use.

# 30 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 02/03/13 03:35 PM

I really think Earl Clark needs boosting in rebounding and 3pt shot.

But Jamison and Maybe Meeks are overrated.

He's an average NBA PF at best...while both Valanciunas and Drummond have the potential to be legit NBA centers. You don't have to REACH at #4 to find guys like TT...Especially considering where guys like Faried, Ed Davis, and Kevin Seraphin were drafted...or...I don't know....JJ Hickson.... Valanciunas doesn't suck....he's been injured. he sure looked pretty good when I saw him at The Q when the Raps smoked the Cavs a few days before Xmas. You are kidding yourself if you think that TT is worth more than either of those two guys...if Chris Grant called the Raps and/or Pistons and offered TT for Jonas or Drummond straight up....he'd get LAUGHED off the phone.

Lol mmk

The point is, there was nobody in that draft class besides Kyrie. Not one other person from that class will become an all-star. Count on it. I'm happy with TT he's got loads of potential as we've seen from his improvement this year.

I'm sure I'm biased but I look at how he's been playing lately, and everyone else from that class...I'm not sure I would trade him for anyone else in that class. Seriously. Faried is decent but has already peaked. JV is just not a good player. Klay Thompson is good, he might be the only one I'd consider. Or maybe Kawhi Leonard. You get the point. The class just sucked.

And last year, no matter who the Cavs picked it would have been a reach.

# 32 ClevelandFan @ 02/04/13 12:30 AM

No. Just no.

# 33 ClevelandFan @ 02/04/13 01:18 AM

You're pathetic. One of those "Cleveland is cursed, we will never win anything blah blah blah".

Your bull**** pessimism is sickening. You're the douche who predicts his team to lose every game but then brags when they win.

Gtfo you infant.

# 34 I Ridge I @ 02/04/13 02:40 AM

Will Bynum needs an ooper signature skill. haha

# 35 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 02/04/13 09:29 AM

Harrison Barnes dunk needs to be increased. At 74, his teammate D.Lee has a 75.lol id put Barnes high 80s like 88

# 36 ParquetPosse @ 02/04/13 05:12 PM

Terrible roster update once again. I'm done getting excited. The one glaring issue with this game is the roster updates and they just don't seem to care how many of us complain. I'm holding out hope for 2K14 but just don't care anymore this year.

James needs better def reb Off Rating (small sample size but out of 238 rb chances, he gets 19.7% of the team rebs with 71.4 team reb rating) per 100 pos he avgs like 8 rebs a game. He also has a nice left hand jump hook. he has a efg of .533 from shots in close. So his close rating needs a boost, his post D needs a boost. His vert ans stand dunk needs a boost. S. Marion heeds a runner/floater!!! He has one of the most deadliest runners in the game. I'm not sure why 2K has him shooting with his left hand and it never drops. Please fix the Matrixs runner. Brandon Wright, Could you please..finally give this man his athlectic ability. 2K has him as C- in that category. The man is the most athletic player on the team. Improve his standing dunk and vert ratings. Da. Jones has not shot the 3 ball well this year, he deserves a decrease. Darren Collinson update was good. Thanks, Now my question is why take Kaman out with a concussion and 2 missed games, but leave Curry and D Howard in the game and they missed the same amount games if not more?

I agree with everything you said except the Darren Collinson part. His steals should be increase to at least a 70 or a little higher. He's averaging around 1.5 steals per game. Compared to everyone that has at least a 70 for steals, they're not even close to averaging that many steals.

They should also add more signature skills to some players that deserve it (O.J. Mayo and so on) and take away some signature skills to others (Jeremy Lin's floor general, Beaubois' signature skills, ect.)

But that's because I've been on the other side of things...whereas you are just some teenage slacker who probably hasn't competed on a team since Little League. Unlike you, I'm able to be a Cavs fan while also not just blindly following the nonsense and propaganda that I am fed. I think for MYSELF and form my own opinions. One of those being that Tristan Thompson was the wrong pick at #4 that year...watching him play last season only reaffirmed that to me. If you don't think the Cavs wouldn't swap TT in a heartbeat for Nikola Vucevic...or several other players from that draft.....you're more of a blind FANATIC then you will ever admit. Grow up....and start thinking for yourself.

If a players career was only determined by their rookie season, then there would not be many greats in the history of the NBA. Not everyone can come in and be Kyrie at 19 years old.

I agree about Butler's shooting, but definitely his defense and rebounding should be recognized. Kid has put in some big games recently, some of them being crucial to getting key wins. Just a little pat on the back 2k, he earned it.

Hey, I'm new to the forum and honestly tried browsing around in the 2K forums to find the best, most accurate, up-to-date "2k share" roster downloads for XBOX 360.

What do you guys recommend to download? I tried that "Real 2K Insider" roster updates with player edits. It's pretty solid, but felt like he got a few guys wrong by not upping their ratings (namely Batum, Klay Thompson, Luol Deng)
