2K Sent us the overall ratings for every player in each team's starting five. Give the list a look through and let us know what you think! Did 2K rate your team right? Any surprises? Let us know!
I think folks will eventually get it jeebs. I laughed when I saw this post because it seems you have mentioned it plenty of times before. But, before I came into the thread I thought to myself, "I guarantee Jeebs will have a post in this thread."
In actuality, I agree wholeheartedly. I don't worry about ratings. I always enjoy finding players with low ratings that just seem to ball for me.
Gerald Green in 2k8 or 2k9, w/e year he was on the Mavs was a monster. He was like a 65-70 overall Kobe Bryant.
I'm scared to play any teams with high rated power forwards - KG is unstoppable in the demo and his rating is only 80?
Also, Chris Paul a 95? I don't think he is almost as good as a Lebron or Kobe. He is a very good player but I would rather have Kevin Durant at 91 or Dwight Howard at 88 any day of the week!
Why ? His shooting can still be up and thats why he is good in the demo.
His athleticism and stamina should be lacking, speed and quickness too. So thats why his rating is 'only' 80. Which doesn't seem that bad for an old player btw.
javale mcgee will be a beast this year 59 way to low and forgive me spurs fans but i dont think tim duncan is worthy of a 90 plus rating anymore cmon man

Thats what I'm talking about back in 2k8 and 2k9. Guys like JR Smith were LeBron James Jr. Thats because the bottom scale was 50. They changed it in 2k10. And last year you could really tell the difference between a D League guy and a NBA All Star. This year we are probably going to see an even bigger improvement in the area.
On a funny note...I remember Kevin Durant (or someone) saying last year "I'm only rated a 74"...lol
Dirk continues to get brutally underrated by 2K... it's one thing to say "Well if he plays in the game like he does in real life it's no big deal" but I found that he rarely made any All-NBA teams or finished top 7-8 in scoring either, so...
Also, Durant only a 91? Where exactly are his flaws again? Personally I think he should be one of the 2 or 3 top-ranked players in the entire league...
Without looking at individual ratings, there are some overalls evidently manipulated.
On the other hand, we should wait and see how does the new AI team management philosophy handles them and if, as already pointed out, an 83 Dirk is value more than a 85 boozer or a 83 Lee.
Guys guys...it doesnt matter about overall ratings anymore..as long as their individual ratings are fine.
For instance westbrook and parker, westbrook and parker are quite similar but westbrook is more athletic so his ratings probably get a boost for having a better dunk, vertical, and athleticism rating, but parker probably has better mid range, quickness, etc.
As long as the trade value logic is as what 2k says it is then im good. I dont want being able to trade some one thats 78 for jennings cos of his low rating.
Hmmmm... is that really the lineup the Kings are gonna go with this year?
IMO ...
PG - Reke
SG - Cisco/Casspi
SF - Donte Green
PF - Carl Landry
C - Dalembert/Cousins
I'd probs agree with Kings ratings though!
I think (more like I know) there are baseing it on last years final rosters. And I Westphal was changing the line up all year long. The only guys that started every game (they played) were Evans and Hawes (he got traded).
The Ratings look the same from 2k10,How is Cory Maggette rated high than Jennings should at least be a 80. D.Howard should be like a 93, Ray Allen Should of been a little higher too (82) O.j Mayo and Rudy Gay are higher than him. K.Durant should be a 95 better than Melo
Joe Johnson an 88 (same as D.Howard!) i don't think so....Al Horford and Chris Kaman 78s? harsh man...Joachim Noah only a 73 wooow at that 1 thought him and deng would be around the same level....Linas Kleiza though 55 thats a bit extreme man he might not have been in the league for a while but as a European i thought i should point out that his rating is absurd loool....haha at darko millicic' rating man thats 2 much (Khhhhhaaaaannnnn!)
There is no way Kleiza should be a 55. If anyone watched him play this summer, he's pretty damn good. In fact, he will likely be one of the best Raptors this year. Watch for that rating to shoot up 20, very, very quickly.
Calderon on the other hand, shouldn't be >70. He plays zero defense, and couldn't guard a lemonade stand.
