Now I don't play this game anymore, but he's rebounding at a slightly better rate than Bosh and Pau Gasol this year. So I'm curious, how do the dreb ratings of these 3 compare? I hope the 2 guys on big market crowd favorite teams get a substantial bonus for being popular.

They FINALLY boosted Tristan Thompson.

Kent Bazemore's position should be SG/PG instead of SG/SF.

# 26 syncity14 @ 03/16/13 07:41 PM

Not able to get connect to 2K's servers for whatever reason (PS3). What increased for D-Will?

# 27 Deelist2014 @ 03/16/13 08:01 PM

What is wrong with 2K13 when I try to put the missing players in the roster it just freeze on me and when I try to load it freeze and when it try to load the roster. What is wrong and also when I try to download off 2K share it will freeze when I try to put the players on the right team.

I don't understand how Vucevic's rebounding hasn't been touched, he doesn't rebound like he should. His close shot rating is the only shooting attribute i would raise.

Did anyone notice Paul George height was brought down to 6'9

It blows. We have an 8 man roster!! C'mon 2k!
I still get wins with them but its hard to stop KD DW and
Other superstar players with ONLY an 8 man roster...

Just joined to vent my 2cents.

JEFF TEAGUE PLEASE!!!!

# 33 UniversalNoob @ 03/17/13 08:58 AM

So finally Lance Stephenson is better than people like JaJuan Johnson, Alonzo Gee, Gerald Green, etc... But instead of decreasing all the bad players they increased Stephenson, who I think had good one with 69 -.-

Is 2k really that clueless or do they simply show some love to Lakers bandwagoners? Dwight is a better offensive rebounder in 2k13 than Tristan Thompson, in real life it's quite the opposite. At least they should be rated equally, because that's how they perform in real life.
There is only one season where Howard was maybe superior, which was back in 2009 and even there with adjusted minutes, Thompson still has a case for being just as good. That's exactly the reason I don't play this fantasy game anymore.

Oh snap! He gave Roy Hibbert the Defensive Anchor signature skill! The Pacers are an elite defensive team now (minus the poor games against the Lakers and Heat)!
