NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Also like I said in another thread let's wait and see how this plays. The numbers by themselves are meaningless which is why there's no real point in complaining about someone being rated a 99 overall.

All that matters is how they play relative to everyone else in the game

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

the past years, they have been position specific in regards to ratings. so to get a better grasp you look at the ratings relative to other players in their same position.

is anyone down to make a excel spreadsheet like the PG ratings weve seen but for SG-C?

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

actually i dont know. what did they do? make it to the playoffs?

so we should knock down Wade because his team failed to make the playoffs?

Kevin Martin is an excellent young player.

You know the ratings are messed up when Mike Bibby has a B- in Perimeter D.

Sportsgamer is doing the rest of the positions M-Th.

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

How does KP43 (lol kendrick perkins) only have a C+ for post D? The dude is one of the best 1 on 1 post defenders in the league. And a B for rebounding? Underrated. KP43 is a beast on defense downlow.

On the flipside I'm loving Rondo's rating, although I hope he's capable of hitting outside shots in the game. He def hit some big ones for us the playoffs.

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

somebody should revolutionize ratings, like maybe a color scheme for good or bad shooter or somethin, shoting is so much more deeper than a number or grade, depends on where you are, how are u shooting it, is it off the dribble, with a man in your face, wide open??? are u fading away or leaning in, also alot of people in the nba are streaky shooters, like a tmac or kobe, but then there are pure shooters like ray allen and peja,

i know 2k has the cell phone bars but to me in 2k8 i couldnt feel the difference......

i would just like 2 see this implemented some how

if anybody ever played the nba street series, notice how u would have a green, yellow and red indicator underneath the player to help u know if the specific player was a good shooter from that area, green= great chance, yellow=ok but not great, red= are u kidding me???, maybe implement somethin like this and have it work, also the defense would affect the color or chance of the shot, also depending on how great the defender is,

as is stands right now, contested shots dont make a difference and hasnt since 2k3

Al Thornton's only a 77. This guy is first team all rookie and scored about 19 a game the last 3 months of the season. Eric Gordon who is a rookie this year is a 78. Crazy

DeAndre Jordan with a 64 is fine by me, but he's got a F in athleticism. The only real thing this guy has for him is his great athleticism.

Exactly. So many people in this thread are throwing around opinions with no fact/statistics and with no idea of how the ratings are scaled. All this "This guy should be way lower because he didn't make the playoffs..." talk is rediculous. I can only imagine how the 2K Insider blog will be BOMBARDED when the season starts. 2K may regret that idea yet....

i never said he wasnt.


D Wade has a 97 and didn't do jack last season he should be low 90's

Kevin Martin should be like 88


That's the point im arguing. How much more did he do to D Wade

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

I never understood arguments about some completely editable LOL

More ditto?

Thanks for looking out for us Steve.

How come you're not allowed to show the Magic jerseys? They were shown in some earlier screenshots of D12 on ESPN.

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

No Alexia Ajinca on the Bobcats roster even though he was signed before the Aug. 1st date and was a 1st round pick. Kyle Weaver was our 2nd rounder, not signed and was traded to OKC yet he is in the game... I hope he's at least in the FA pool.

I hate hate hate when i see a player rated higher than a 95. Serioulsy, think about it. Rating players 99 means they are perfect. No player is perfect. Ive said this before in my different forums, but the only two players that should be rated 95s are Lebron and Kobe. Couple others 94s. Hell maybe not even that high. Developers really need to rethink the way they rate players. This goes for NBA LIVE AND 2K9 and especially Madden. Everyone should look at the FIFA series. There highest rated player is a 90. Thats perfect.... sorry for the rant

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Wouldn't a player need a rating of 100 in order to be "perfect"? Anyways I agree with you that some players are rated too high.

I mean has Chris Paul really reached his full potential? He still has some room to improve and his rating should reflect that.

BTW, Jason Kidd being rated a 92 is kind of a joke. No disrespect to one of the greatest PGs to ever play the game, but is dude still that good?
