All I’m going to say is yeah I know there’s more that makes the game and players play like themselves like tendencies and badges but good lord whoever is in charge of ratings over at 2K is an absolute joke 😂 First thing that comes to mind is where is the logical reason for lowering R.J Barrett and Zion 90 already... Seriously 🤦*♂️

If I had to guess they are mainly are just juicing his intangible rating.

Zion Williamson
27.9 PER (4th in NBA) - Honestly the conversation could end here.
66 TS% (8th in NBA) on 29 USG% (20th in NBA)
9 ORB% / 15 DRB% (Average starting PF: about 5 ORB%, 19 DRB%)
19 AST% on 1.41 ATR (Average starting PF: about 14 AST%)
1.4 STL% / 1.9 BLK% (Average starting PF: about 1.5 STL% / 2 BLK%

Zion hit 90 for me last month. His Giannis-like production blows his peers out of the water. You seem to not take issue with Julius Randle being an 87 and he is clearly a tier (or two) below Zion.

PF OVRs
96 Giannis Antetekounmpo (29.0 PER, 63 TS%, 33 USG%)
96 Kevin Durant (25.6 PER, 66 TS%, 31 USG%)
94 Anthony Davis (24.5 PER, 59 TS%, 28 USG%)
90 Zion Williamson (27.9 PER, 66 TS%, 29 USG%)
89 Jayson Tatum (20.2 PER, 56 TS%, 30 USG%)
87 Tobias Harris (20.7 PER, 61 TS%, 24 USG%)
87 Julius Randle (19.7 PER, 57 TS%, 28 USG%)
86 Domantas Sabonis (19.9 PER, 59 TS%, 24 USG%

Crystal clear Zion belongs w/ the Superstars, and there should probably be even greater separation between he and the All-Stars in the high 80s.

But by all means, keep talking about what other people (the guys who do this for a living) don't know. I'm sure you are capable of effortlessly explaining specifically what they did right or wrong, rather than just running your mouth on the internet. There's an "absolute joke" here, but it's not who you think it is.

(Someone splitting hairs over whether R.J. Barrett's OVR should be 80 or 81 doesn't have nearly as good a grasp on this topic as they think they do).

Ugh...it's about to be rough playing with the Pacers.

Can someone explain how the timberwolves are so bad in real life, yet in every 2k sim I do this year, they’re in the top 5 west teams

[Greg521988]

Aww look I’m shocked it took you this long to get in your precious 2 cents worth of opinion Rashidi... I literally couldn’t give a stuff about wasting my time going to look up all those numbers about Zion, all I was trying to say is how much 2K moves raising this dude but forgets about so many others and how can they justify lowering RJ... But for all means tell us oh holy one what would you rate R.J 🙏😂😂
