For the first time ever, Kobe will be out of the game for a year. 2K14 will be impacted severely by this, Kobe was the hardest player to guard online imo.

As for his actual physical recovery, he'll be back by spring 2014...beginning of 2015 the latest. Achilles tear is a ***** to comeback early from but its Kobe.

# 62 turty11 @ 04/13/13 10:22 AM

well black, that is because the "insider" that i bet doesn't exist doesn't watch anything but sportscenter highlights.

as for rebounding, lebron avg's 2 more a game than melo and deng and deng avg's .2 more a game than melo with .6 more on offense.

eh, the hustle thing is kind of meh, melo needs hustle points sig but with a 50-60 hustle rating it doesn't make sense...another fail on 2k's part

@dwade, watch 2k not take him out because he walked off the court

They will probably keep him on the rosters but highlight his name in red as a superficial way to show he's out. I will be impressed with 2k if they treat him like they did Rose

no one uses the lakers in quick matches much ,everyone runs to Miami or new York. ESPN chooses peoples teams for them

# 67 giftedchick @ 04/13/13 11:23 AM

they might not even take kobe out... season is about over anyway... its about that time they start freeing up injured players

# 68 herruberraschen @ 04/13/13 01:51 PM

John Wall could still go up some more to at least an 88. If he keeps playing like he has he will be the best PG in the game next year. Yes, even better than Paul.

Ok, what attributes would you upgrade to give him an 88?

You can't just throw out an overall number and not have any individual attribute boost or statistical evidence.

Ok I agree that throwing out an overall is useless now that I think about it. I would increase his mid range, shot off the dribble, and finishing with contact. Also give him a hot zone in the right mid range and the other two mid ranges gray. A lot of his game is the mid range shot off the dribble because most defenders have to give him a lot of space because he can get by for an assist or an and-one scenario. Also, the reason I gave the higher overall is because the only guys who can finish with contact are the higher overall guys for some reason.

# 71 alabamarob @ 04/13/13 02:22 PM

The worst ratings are for the rebounding and passing of the big men. Look at Marc Gasol's passing, and mid range shooting rating. Look at Al jefferson's def rebounding rating. Look at Ibaka, Perkins, and Collison's rebounding rating versus their real life numbers. Thad Young's rebound rating. Blake Griffin's rebounding rating.

I could go on and on. The rebounding, and passing ratings of the bigs are horrible. The passing rating isn't as big a deal, because I think its a placebo rating on 2k13. However, the rebounding rating is key when teams like the Pacers get killed on the board because no one can grab d boards.

# 72 TheMetalSlime @ 04/13/13 02:45 PM

wow omer asik and chandler parsons dont get a lot of love asik is just a 70 ovr and he does so much in real life they should both be in 80 to 83 range

# 73 thedream2k13 @ 04/13/13 03:23 PM

omer is rated right. I have watched every rocket game this season and his strengths are freethrows and position defense. His vertical, ballhandling, hands, offensive awareness all should be low

Parsons is a good 3pt shooter, but his ball handling needs to be lowered and his on ball defense has been worse this year compared to last

unbiased rocket fan opinion here

pacers bigs also have low verticals which factor into rebounding as well

I used the pacers the other day and I got DESTROYED on the boards by especially by nazr muhammed. The bulls got 20 freaking offensive rebounds I checked the ratings for the rebounding and I saw that david west rebounding is like 72 and roy hibbert rebounding is like 73... I didnt bother to check the others.

Its pretty absurd since the pacers are the BEST rebounding team in the league.

Fine, no corner specialist then, but his 3pt rating should be increase. Back in March corner specialist would have been great. His corner 3pt shooting just increased after last night's game, but I'm thinking spot up shooter would be better. His 3pt percentage overall does not equal an 82 rating. If that's the case, Deron Williams, Affalo, Collison, ect. should be way lower. Many players with higher 3pt stats don't even take as many shots or make as many.

i am a biased fan lol i to watch all games its just that im tired of asik scoring 2 points a game in 2k and always getting blocked i respect and understand your opinon i just think they need a little increase so they play like they do in real life

# 78 turty11 @ 04/13/13 04:13 PM

the only changes john wall needs is dimer and 94 pass rating.. his mid range fits perfectly with his 34% from mid range on the season.

asik needs his rebounding changed to max on defense and dropping his offensive, and he needs his shot ratings for inside close and medium upgraded

@h8's you just want vince to be a 99 overall don't you.. spot up shooter is just lol.

Omer always gets blocked IRL. He is the most blocked center in the NBA

Also I don't think LDK will let the insider take kobe out of the game.

man how is White rated higher than Prigioni
