09:08 PM - August 30, 2016 by Sitew33

While these aren't final NBA 2K17 player ratings, as mentioned by Ronnie 2K and LD2K, it definitely gives us a glimpse of what we will see when the game ships.

Kyrie's rating is appropriate. 89 is still very high and whether he is an 89 or 90 he'll still play the same. You have to remember he's still a one way player with average playmaking skills for a point guard. By comparison, James Harden who is also a one way player is only one point higher than Kyrie so it's all fair. KAT is an 88 because he is a very good player on both sides of the ball in addition to being able to shoot as a big man. While an 88 rating did catch me off guard for him, like I said whether he is an 88 or 85-85 he'll still play the same.

Haven't seen one - but good question. The hair seems so good this year I'm keen to see what they've done with Adams.

I feel like we hace seen like 7 different builds of Jimmy Butler...

Looks good.

Hmmmm, they didn't change his body model at all. If anything they gave him the "high school" model that so many players got stuck with, but at least his skin complexion is closer to real life.

Maybe it is something they can address pre-launch or through a patch? Otherwise, we are stuck with these inaccurate body types (they need to add more variety in particular, IMO) until 2K18. With a possible lock-out looming that could be what gives the art team the time needed to address the issue, TBH...

On the plus side, they've added every Air Jordan and nearly every Kobe, LeBron & Kyrie signature model to 2K17.....

Plus, some retro sneakers I believe....

The irony is I think this leaked Butler is being better received than the official pic 2K release.

Looks awesome IMO.

They something close last year lol

# 149 stillfeelme @ 08/31/16 09:19 AM

These new head scans are up another level. 2K18 will probably be "true body scan" or at least more body types. The only real point of the body scans appears to map tattoos and scars on whatever body models they currently have.

Draymond is a more complete PF than Kyrie is a complete PG.

That is what that overall rating is saying more than Draymond > Kyrie.

Plus they are different positions and the formulas are different PER position. So I wouldn't even compare the ratings of the two.

That is like asking which one tastes better between Pizza and Gelato. Sweet vs Salty, how can you compare?

Makes sense..... gets me that there isn't more emphasis on ratings by position I guess.

Like when Madden does "Top 5 QBs" "Top 5 RBs" etc. etc.

But yeah, I see your point.

# 152 DC @ 08/31/16 09:36 AM

Yea, I always tell folks to look at the TIERED rankings of players instead of just looking at a standalone rating.

Who is Kyrie grouped with? Is he in the Top 3 PGs? I am sure he is. So no issue.

No need to trip over 1 or 2 overall points. Look at the person (of the same position) that is above and behind the player and use that to determine if the rating makes sense. (If you must do that)

Yep I'm with you.

Ratings to me are extremely trivial when I think about it. Hard to critique unless you know the foundation upon which they're built I suppose....

Where the gameplay at though?

It's on some Evan Fournier level disappointment considering they couldn't get his scan in LAST season either but 2nd rounders like Josh Richardson, Joe Young and Connaughton had theirs, gtfo. He's literally the one player I was looking forward to finally using in 2K after last season, smh.

Yup...Norm God is going to blow up this year. Anyone that follows Raptors basketball knows this. Maybe it can still get fixed ?? At least its better than last year.

But Kyrie isnt a Top 3 PG... Curry, Westbrook, Paul...

# 158 Yuss @ 08/31/16 11:16 AM

The player scans look amazing. Player likeness has never looked this good.

Unfortunately, players who don't get scanned are going to be an eyesore lol

It's not a big thing for me, I'm just wondering why they chose that route if so. Still more to see I suppose. The faces have been spot on for the most part.

# 160 ClevelandFan @ 08/31/16 12:53 PM

Kyrie was far and away the 2nd best player in The Finals, yet he's being rated as the 5th best.

It's a damn joke.

Draymond in particular being a 90 is a complete and total joke.

These ratings aren't official yet obviously so we'll see what happens but geez. Kyrie played at an MVP level in The Finals and throughout the playoffs. Only LeBron, the only true great left in the NBA, can say the same.
