NBA 2K15 News Post


With all of the overall player ratings released for NBA 2K15, we figured it would be easier to look at, if we arranged all of the players by team. Enjoy.

While I don't disagree with you, I think his rating is justifiable. The average overall rating this year is 75, so let's assume that offense and defense both weigh in on a 0-100 scale to average out to their overall just for simplicity and the sake of the argument.

With that being said, Jimmy was lacking on the offensive side of the ball last season, but I wouldn't say he was terribly below average. He averaged 13 PPG and shot around 40% so that grants him around 70 on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, he's an elite perimeter defender, so putting him up around a 90 isn't too far fetched. Throw them together and you get an 80.

Too much emphasis is placed on the overall rating, especially with how they've changed the ratings calculations. Just because a guy is at an 80 doesn't mean you'll be able to do it all with him.

How is Carmelo Anthony just an 89?!? I understand the lack of defense at times but an 89? Were talking about the 2013 NBA scoring champion, the 2014 2nd leading scorer in the NBA, The person who has just as much fire power if not more as Kevin Durant.. If anything he should at least be in the 90's, there's no way Chris Paul is a better player than Carmelo Anthony.. 2K your ratings suck.. AND PLEASE tell me how the hell Kobe Bryant is just an 89, it's KOBE!

I hear everybody talking about Duncan's rating
Duncan had a good year last year and remember he was the most consistent player in the finals all the games

Tyson Chandler is more 59/69 his defense is overrated and his hands are worst. I've never seen him grab a rebound... What a joke.

Not this argument again...

Where's Rashidi when you need him?

I really liked what I was seeing from the ratings before, but I like it even more now that I've seen them like this.

Deep teams look deep, top heavy teams look top heavy... and the 76ers look like the 76ers, because they do what they do.

Huge kudos, Beds!

Of course, as soon as the season starts everything changes and your ratings go to hell in a handbasket, but that's just life.

People are really having a hard time grasping the concept of these ratings. Just because a player has an overall higher than another player doesn't make them directly better. I promise you that Melo is going to be a better scorer than CP3 and Chris is going to be a better passer than Melo. It's how everything is designed.

Kobe is 36 and coming off back-to-back leg injuries. Be happy he's rated that high.

Good preception, however it's extremely hard to grasp. I feel as though 2k is trying to be too technical with just having 4 people in the 90 ratings. There's more than 4 people that could easily go in that category, why just narrow it down to 4 all of a sudden. Makes no sense to me.

People who complain about the name generally don't know the game.

To be completely honest I believe only two players are deserving of a 90+ (LeBron and Kevin) rating, but Chris and Timmy got there too for different reasons I'm not fully aware of. Every other player in the league is too flawed to be deserving of a 90+ rating, IMO. It makes complete sense why there are so few 90+ players, which I'm happy is finally happening, and I'm sure they didn't rate players looking for certain overall ratings. The league is just LeBron, Kevin and then everyone else.

Well that's what the league is painting the picture of (Bron Bron & KD) so why put it in the game right? You honestly feel there's just the 2 best players and thats it?? There's definely a room for 2 more that could go in that category (Melo, Kobe) not even being biased, if we're talking pure talent those are the top 4 correct?

Glenn Robinson III is worked on?

LeBron and Durant are 1A and 1B and have been for awhile.

The casuals will tout Kobe/Melo while passing over Chris Paul and every big man.

Such are basketball fans.

For the first time in forever they haven't drastically underrated Nick Collison.

Please, Kobe at this point his career and Melo at any point in his career aren't touching LeBron and Kevin. They are the best and everyone else is playing catch up as individual players.

If I had to "rank" the top 5 it would go:

1. LeBron James 2. Kevin Durant 3. Chris Paul 4. Dwight Howard 5. Russell Westbrook

I will say Butlers closest comparison would be Tony Allen. Tony Allen is rated a 78 so it is not bad for Butler he just has a little bit better offense to make him better.

Tony Allen shot breakdown

At rim 150-232 65%
3-10ft 19-51 37%
10-16ft 6-20 30%
16-23ft 18-63 29%
3pt 11-47 23%

Allen takes most of his shots in the paint is not a threat at all outside of the paint. Teams usually leave him wide open for jumpers. So Allen is more a liability from the perimeter even though Butler is not great.

Butler Breakdown

At rim 124-208 60%
3-10ft 10-49 20%
10-16ft 24-59 41%
16-23ft 49-137 36%
3pt 68-240 28%

Butler is just better in these 3 shooting categories and has a better shot not much better but he is better overall offensively

Stls,Rbd go to Allen Assist to Butler as well Blocks are about dead heat. Allen is a poor FT shooter so 77%Butler to 63% to Allen. Defensively from an on ball defense standpoint Butler is just as good to me. Defensive Win score goes to Butler too 4.6 to 2.1

I love the Lakers and Kobe, but please stop talking about him like he's even worth an 89. He should be 85-86 at best, even healthy he's 36 and will not be the same player. Melo is good at 89, and I don't think there should be a lot of players 90+. Having 4 is generous outside of Lebron and KD

Kobe at 89 is atrocious to be honest. 85 would be generous in my opinion and 83 would be realistic until he proves he can still ball. But to be in the top tiers is homerism on 2Ks part and Stauffer whom was prolly bullied by Manning

Kinda the same point I tried to make regarding Giannis before applies here too, but in the opposite way. You can't weaken Kobe's ratings just based on how you THINK he'll play post-injury when he hasn't done anything yet to prove he can't play anymore.

The last time he played a significant amount, he put up one of his best all-around seasons of his career offensively.

I agree that he will likely not be deserving of an 89 overall once we see him back, but it isn't really fair to give him a lesser rating just because of how you personally expect the injuries to affect him.
