After his playoff performance, I can't NOT give him a 94-95 or lower. It's still very, very good and a dominant rating on an all-time scale. But it was clearly not peak Lebron (who is probably a 96-98 on a GOAT scale).

He shot 42% during the playoffs, Jordan's last 3 years 45%, 45%, 46%.. Do you know what the different of 3-4% is when you are taking 20+ shots per game? About half a shot.. So per 40 shots LeBron would miss one more shot than Jordan.. Does that make Jordan "straight up bad" as well? Is 2k going to lower Jordan's ratings for his past prime self? Likely not, so that's where this is unfair. Jordan also wasn't averaging borderline triple doubles and grabbing over 13 rebounds.. So yes excuse me for thinking LeBron's performance shouldn't require him to have a rating drop when he's piling up numbers like guys from the 60's in today's slower paced and lower statistical era.

To put in perspective, 2k15 a 2nd year Jordan is a 94, rookie Tim Duncan is a 90, Payton is a 92, Wilt a 94 not prime 50ppg Wilt but 35 year old Wilt who averaged 14 points per game, Oscar is a 95 not triple double averaging Oscar but the 33 year old who averaged 17/7/5, Iverson LOL a 93, Shaq at 23 years old a 95, Julius Erving (does nothing better than LeBron) is a 95.. 30 year old Bird is a 98, 30 year old LeBron is a 94. Their stats? Per 36min Bird 24.9/6.8/8.2 and his playoff numbers 27/7/10 at 44 minutes, Per 36 LeBron 25.2/7.4/6 his playoff numbers 30.1/8.5/12 at 42 minutes..

But go on and keep telling me how those guys aren't being overvalued and current stars undervalued.

if kobe is an 85 than you just have to wonder what the other SG's rating wil be like for example Jimmy Butler, Wade, & Klay...

Here's the question, in this new system are those old ratings still going to be applied to those players at those ages with those numbers. If they do then they're undermining their whole system.

The post baseball MJ really is a 92-93 Ovr player. His mythological status makes people want to apply the 99 to him for that time period. The 1987-1992 Mike was the 99 player, the same case can be made for the 2007-2013 LeBron.

Im just saying, ratings or not, the last 2 years including a 37% season, that needs to be reflected in the game, period.

I don't care to argue like some people live off of, but it's just real life..the guy has not been what some of you imagine him as in years past.

The sad part is the people in here always screaming for 2k to have more defense in the game are justifying this rating by offense only and completely IGNORING the fact that he was worse than what people were clowning James Harden for.

Overall he should not be playing like some kind of franchise star player I have to gameplan around only with the way he plays and how bad he's been.

Also 23, at this point in his career he isn't close to the same level of player as John Wall, Harden, Paul George, Chris Paul, Griffin, etc. all of those guys that will be rated around the same as Kobe is.

but like I said, forget all the numbers being thrown out here when thats not even what 2k is using.

I don't care how much some of these guys like Kobe, he's just NOT that guy. I don't agree with saying you can't judge him from the past 2 seasons....


Wait,


I'm not trashing him, I just need to see how it plays first. If I can do the same things with him that I can do with LeBron or KD then

Now I'm really interested to see how everyone reacts when Paul George gets an 87+ overall after averaging 9 points on 36% shooting.. should be fun

Depends if they have a bias for Paul like they do with Kobe...and if multiple seasons add up to him being lower than that both by numbers and the eye test.
 
# 149 GudStuffzz @ 08/29/15 06:46 PM
LOL @ Ross believing he should be higher than a 73, in fact he should be HAPPY 2k gave him a 73. Dude regressed like crazy. He was missing easy 3 point shots, and his defense which has usually been solid was non existent. He really offered nothing on the court if his 3 point shot wasnt falling. Ever since that Nets playoff series, he really hasn't been the same

Like it was mentioned in the SIm Hangout, 2K needs to stop letting Ronnie be buddy buddy with those dudes on Twitter. All a player has to do is cry about a rating and Ronnie looks out.

I remember they gave Kyrie a 91 vertical one year because he said something to Ronnie. A 91 man. For Kyrie.

Same with Whiteside

Yea,

That's ruining the game. Of course NBA players want ridiculous ratings. I noticed Ronnie likes to say "That's my boy" about these guys too the guy really enjoys the limelight and attention thats for sure.

I be wanting to say "That's not your boy, bro." but...whatever. Lol. Keep doin you, player.

I guess we'll see how they are adjusted. They were slightly high compared to more modern stars the past two years, and this new ratings system seemed from the description like it was only going to worsen that. But hopefully not.

I'd have Curry with a 91 to 93 on that scale and Harden a 87-90. AD would fall 91-93 and Westbrook 87-89.

If the ratings this year are really supposed to be scaled against all time greats, let's make it actually count instead of giving everyone the usual 95-98's like every season.

What's not fine is the inflated ratings for run of the mill stars. Wall's a bit too high for me though it's not far off. And what's not fine is Kobe only two points lower than John Wall, which effectively makes his rating even HIGHER than last year's which wasn't scaled against greats. That's just ridiculous. The more I think about it the more it's completely unjustifiable.

"He was injured for seasons and actually sucked a little less before he was injured again so let's just pretend he's still great" is not a valid rating methodology.

Vegas doesn't work this way. NBA front offices don't work this way. Sports journalism and analysis doesn't work this way. I don't see why 2K should work this way.
Good post bra. I can respect that answer and these ratings.
 
# 157 JazzMan @ 08/29/15 07:47 PM
I imagine Kobe's defensive ratings and athleticism are way too high. For some reason 2k thinks that he's not a turnstile on defense and can keep up with the top guards in the league.

Who's rating did Ronnie raise because they complained about it? I didn't even know Ronnie controlled anything regarding ratings...

HE doesn't control them but he gives, "I got you" comments to plenty of dudes over the years. Man just follow that man on Tweet. It is sad to see sometimes
