More ratings will be released in the upcoming days in a couple of ways. As players tweet Ronnie, Chris, and the NBA2K handle their rating will be released. Also as more followers are gained by the NBA 2K handle, massive amounts of player ratings will be released, starting with the bottom up until we eventually the top 5 from each position are revealed. I'll be dropping in to hear feedback throughout the process. Let the fun begin!

Good stuff man. Really happy that 2K will finally have really solid out of the box players's ratings. It used to hurt the game so much.

If I had to guess who the four are it's Lebron, Durant, Chris Paul, and Rose.

I think for a PF to be above 90 they have to be really good offensively and defensively while getting boards. If Davis makes that jump by being versatile offensively in the post he will be a 90 by the year end.

His only thing that is lacking is post offense.

Based on last season Kevin Love, KD, LeBron, Blake Griffin, Cp3 n Melo all deserve to 90. But they will probably only give it to KD, LeBron, Cp3 and Love

Probably the best pick and roll ball handler 4. 91 Melo most versatile scorer in the league, post, transition, iso and played PF for much of last season. On the cusps high 88-89 or so Curry: Elite best shooter in the league off the dribble spot up, transition, good passer but his defense is below average and he turns the ball over at a high clip. Not that great at finishing at the rim. Westbrook: Elite athlete best finisher of all the pg's, elite speed, good defense turns the ball over a ton is streaky shooter and average at best jumper. Blake: Dunks, passing ability and post game, improved jumper somewhat but still below average at anything outside of the paint. Average post defender and not a great rim protector/help defender Dwight: Average postgame, great athlete, good rim protector, poor FT shooter or anything outside of the paint.

Make Melo a 90 and you're perfect

# 47 @marcusjiles @ 09/03/14 11:38 AM

Lebron, Durant, CP3, Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, LaMarcus Aldrige (dont think I spelled his last name right), BLAKE GRIFFIN, and if you wanted to have Melo at 90, he should probably up there too. IF, and it'd be pretty inexcusable if not 2k has the roster sharing and editing ability in FULL, this is irrelevant.

Oh, and Russell Westbrook duh!

# 48 @marcusjiles @ 09/03/14 11:39 AM

AND KEVIN LOVE!!! WTH?? Kevin Love should be like a 92! Great passer, great outside shooter, can score inside, and the best rebounder in the league. And he isnt terrible on defense. He's okay.

Hey Beds, this is the 1st time official rosters got me hyped dude!

can't wait to take a look at this year's tendencies!

Of course I won't tell you where the mistakes and overlooks were, mainly because you suffered them the same we did these last years, and you are the best they could have choosen to rework all that.

One of the things I'd love to see is realistic rookie ratings for the 1st time. You can't imagine how much I hated seeing all that amount of players (usually around 10 or so) who hadn't even played any game, rated in the 70s and even 80s!

# 50 BobbyColtrane @ 09/03/14 11:53 AM

LeBron, CP3, and Popovich. Can't really think of anyone else that deserves it. LOL melo.

# 51 grodbetatted @ 09/03/14 11:54 AM

If they put harden over Kobe or Melo... That would be a disappointment

I heard he had been kidnapped by some angry jazz fan in 2013.

# 53 JKSportsGamer1984 @ 09/03/14 11:56 AM

Without a doubt it should be LeBron, CP3, and Westbrook. Anthony Davis is not far behind. I would've said Melo but he's mostly an iso scorer.

Only pick 3 players since there are a total of only 4

# 55 kidthoughtful @ 09/03/14 12:06 PM

In order
LeBron James
Kevin Durant
Chris Paul
Paul George

God willing bro!lol!

# 57 Mbalmer @ 09/03/14 12:10 PM

King James, Kobe (yes, he still deserves it) Melo, Love, and NOAH!!!

I know that is more then 3, just think those guys deserve it.

# 58 nyk_fatboy @ 09/03/14 12:15 PM

Durant, Melo, Lebron,

Cp3 probably

# 59 turty11 @ 09/03/14 12:32 PM

lebron, cp3, westbrook, rondo, dwight, possibly curry/love/kawhi/duncan/cousins/aldridge/pg13

but i guess thats more than 3....so ill just leave them in bold who i expect it to be

based off 2k14 and previous years overall system, its likely to be 2 point guards with lebron

# 60 fpliii @ 09/03/14 12:33 PM

Hm, can't imagine it should be Melo.

Love watching him play (in-market for the Knicks), but I think a 90 rating is a bit beyond him. One of the best handful of scorers in the league, though.

KD is already named, and you have to figure LeBron and CP3 are locks. That leaves one spot. Reasonably, I think it's one of two guys:

� Curry
� Westbrook

Love or Davis is a stretch, don't think it'll be either guy. Paul George is hurt, so he's likely out. Rose probably needs to prove himself before getting a 90+ rating again.
