He could use slight bumps in his hustle, ball security(it is 73 when he averages less turnovers then lebron and kobe who have 90 plus), defensive awareness.,POST DEFENSE(kobe has a higher post defense than him. makes no sense), consistency(broke franchise record for most consecutive 20 point games at 31 straight). If anything on offense it should maybe be a slight bump in mid range since westbrooks is an 88. with those upgrades he should be a 92 again

Melos shot % have decreased the since the end of january my friend. If anyting his 3ball and mid need to go down a notch. If you havent noticed its been the main topic of why he isnt considerend i the MVP race anymore. He started off hot but since has turn to his normal self

Its not good for a man to be obsessed over a +2 rating that means nothing in the game every week. Take a break from 2k and enjoy life for a week bro

That's ridiculous, Terrence Williams was a 73 when he was in FA pool, the man was a lottery pick coming out of Louisville, has decent handles, a good passer, he's just not 'good' in the eyes of casual fans that don't watch much games because he played on terrible teams(Nets, Kings). All in all, can you people seriously stop harping on a player's overall rating? Keep in mind that the rating is based on the individual's skill ratings, not performance. Why should a player receive a harsh drop in ratings when he excels at multiple facets of the game and is only struggling during a brief stretch of time? Likewise, why should a player be given an enormous increase to his overall for no reason when his skill ratings are all accurate?

As I Spurs fan:

Splitter is still massively underrated.

Parker plays like him in the game, but seeing him as an 84 is maddening. This speaks volumes about 2k rating system

Ginobili needs an update. They make Harden one of the best passers in the league while Manu has a 70 rating. I mean, come on. He's been assiting like a PG these past two years. Such a good passer that he deserves a dimer sig skill

per 36 min: 19,3 pts, 5,7 reb, 6,7 ast, .588 TS%

That's superstar play in limited minutes.

And please give Duncan defensive anchor. The team is 3rd in defense solely because of him and his career high in block rate

# 44 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 02/23/13 10:59 AM

Wait Tony Parker is an 84? I know overalls don't matter but damn...

# 45 agreene7 @ 02/23/13 11:16 AM

There is another update posted today but I don't know what the difference between this one and the one from yesterday is.

# 46 skillz7854 @ 02/23/13 12:58 PM

Jeff Green needs a over haul on this game he moves like a big man which he clearly isn't.He needs better Ball handling and Base shot needs a change as well.He should at least move like Rudy gay on this game. Where the F is his Posterizer,Finisher,and Acrobat at. Please Fix this.

He averaged 8 ppg his first year, about 5 ppg his 2nd year,and about 6.5 ppg his 3rd year. Not to mention he couldn't make any rosters this year, and that includes the pistons roster, that should be enough for you to realize the guy is not good (yes...the pistons).

Now I'm not saying he's terrible. But as it stands right now, he should NOT be a 73. And I understand what your saying about overall vs specific ratings and I agree, but the guy plays like a mini-lebron James, which is extremely unrealistic. It would be much more realistic if he was bumped down to a 66 or 67. He's never proven anything in the NBA and has 3 years to do so.

But people want to BOOST his defensive ratings artificially just so his OVERALL rating goes up? Some of you people are clueless....

actually we only wanted his post defense to go up. his perimeter one is fine. and his hustle could use a boost. and consistency. and btw. AMARE STOUDEMIRE is the most overrated defender in the game (80 defense with tyson defensive anchor turns him into a monster)

Terrence Willaims shouldn't even be a 69 if you ask me. so that 73 rating is wayyyyy overhyped. My guess is he will get lowered. Last year when jr came to the knicks midseason they just threw him into their team with many overated stats just like williams is. After about a week they noticed and dramatically lowered him. Hopefully they do the same to T williams.

BTW Kyrie is also an overated defender in this game as well. just saying

# 49 skillz7854 @ 02/23/13 04:56 PM

What you mean,I'm telling the truth he doesn't move smooth like himself in real life.Yes he does need posterizer and at least acrobat since he finish at the rim with ease and he has dunked on a lot of Centers.

Just look at his game this one's his best game so far this season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7FDZp1UobU

# 50 slowdifference @ 02/23/13 05:30 PM

Joe Johnson got Closer (Well deserved BTW) So, I'm not too mad about some of the things needing upgrades.

# 51 rbfn04 @ 02/23/13 05:39 PM

Bet I still can't put Amar'e on the bench without him complaining.

# 52 Angel_G @ 02/23/13 06:52 PM

Yea Joe Johnson is definitely deserving there was a crazy stat like he was 9/11 in the final minute all season and has hit a couple game winners as well. Not just LeBrons "fake" clutch at the beginning of the 4th.

# 53 DGMikeBarker @ 02/24/13 04:08 AM

I just want DeShawn Stevenson back activated.

# 54 Xuriath @ 02/24/13 11:37 AM

Give earl Clark his boost.

# 55 superj @ 02/26/13 08:21 AM
