This!!!! Parker isn't the same player so he's a too high imo

# 24 juicey79 @ 09/23/14 07:06 PM

honestly I'm annoyed and growing very impatient...at least when Madden did this we got gameplay highlights and voice narrative justifying the changes....this is downright just stalling...really this long schedule and no GAMEPLAY as promised.

We're talking about ratings*Allen Iverson voice*

I'm a die hard Spurs fan and Parker should NOT be a 90 plus. He averaged like 16 ppg and 5 ast. So if live Is basing this off last years season/playoff stats etc, Parker shouldn't be there..as far as Westbrook and Steph goes, they're neck and neck as far as last year goes.
Steph: 24 ppg, 8.5 ast, 1.6 stls, 4.3 reb
Westbrook: 21.8 ppg, 6.9 ast, 1.9 stls, 5.7 reb

If this is based off stats, it's pretty accurate whether the overalls are flipped. But nonetheless, I'm excited to see the rest of them revealed

Exact my point about parker. Don't understand why ppl tend to throw in rings when the discussion is about ratings.

Obviously Parker would be ranked the highest if we we're talking about it all time

Laughing at all the ppl on twitter talkingaabout they won't buy live because of ratings loo

# 28 Tonyattia @ 09/23/14 07:53 PM

I think Westbrook should be a Little higher than curry because he is way better athlete, defender, finishing at the rim. Steph is a better passer, shooter, ballhandler, and overall decision maker so I guess it's justified. Wall is a little off by his face but way of by rating. He should be more like a 86. Anyways I can't wait until Thursday. I can already see the KD comparison pics on Twitter with, fav for live, rt for 2k

Smh, if they're basing their decision off ratings. Parker is a good leader and if it had to do with his accolades, he'd EASILY be better than every pg listed lol. None of them even have a ring -_-

In all honesty, John walls overall doesn't bother be. What other active PG last year was better than him? Ppl may debate Kyrie which is cool. He's alright but just has nice handles and highlight plays.

I'm a blazers fan but come on dame shouldn't be 5 points ahead of wall, both should be like a 86.

westbrook is not elite at finishing around the rim. highlights have perpetuated this myth

# 32 @marcusjiles @ 09/23/14 08:50 PM

Damian Lillard's rating has me a little suspicious in regards to how much the team cares about defense lol. Curry is tricky because he's such a great outside shooter and passer. But defense is subpar with both dudes. Like, if Kobe Bryant/James Harden is the top SG or rated at like a 95, we'll know defense isnt something that they've paid much attention too lol.

People get lost with Tony Parker though. His defense isnt good either, his 3pt shot is suspect. He excels at running the offense and scoring efficiently in mid-range and close to the basket. That's hard even with 2k to get him in the 90's. How do you rate someone who's great at running an offense?

# 33 mlp111 @ 09/23/14 09:06 PM

ratings too high, especially curry , lillard, parker! These can't be synergy ratings

# 34 DirtyJerz32 @ 09/23/14 09:10 PM

Looks good EA. Look forward to hearing more stuff.

Synergy dictates a players tendencies, not rating I believe.

# 36 bigeastbumrush @ 09/23/14 09:38 PM

If I'm not mistaken, years ago Playmakers broke down how the ratings affected gameplay in Live. He was on the money.

I'm guessing ratings can't be edited in Live 15?

Can we edit anything? Serious question.

# 37 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 09/23/14 09:52 PM

I'm curious as to what tendencies synergy power ? And court Q? What are the specifics

# 38 CaliDude916 @ 09/23/14 11:38 PM

I don't agree with Wall being rated higher than Lillard.

The lack of editing rosters opens up Live to a bunch of criticism going forward. If you aren't going to allow people to make changes you have to deal with the complaints.

I cannot help but feel the same way. It would have been nice to see either a short clip for each player, no more than 30 seconds each, or a minute/minute in a half clip showing each player and their rating. EA doesn't have to do this but I feel like it's a missed opportunity to show the game in motion.

Perhaps what irks me most is the press release's information of the new game'lay features and enhancements. I'm sorry EA but after years of disappointment in the basketball deparment pretty screenshots, sneakers, and a list of all new features is not enough to get me excited for this game. I need to see the pretty visuals, flashy shoes, and new gameplay improvements in motion so I know what this game is.
