    The Mets' Jose Reyes Ranked #1 At Short, But...

    I have no problem with Jose being numero uno, but....

    depending on how some of the game's more powerful hitters are ranked regarding their power, I MAY have to tone down Reyes' power a bit. And probably his speed (albeit slightly) too.

    I'll be interested to see what Nook Logan and Joey Gathright's posted speed ratings are. After all, these two are acknowledged as the fastest two in the Majors. In the other games, Reyes, Crawford, Willy Tavares, Ichiro and everyone else fall under the fastest two.

    For about 4 years now, the one thing I'll never understand with the 2K series...is those players who NEVER play certain other positions...why are they given ratings in positions they'd NEVER play or clearly don't?

    With Reyes, yes, he's a fulltime shortstop now...and I'm sure in a pinch, he c-o-u-l-d fill in at second. However...the 'ability' at C, 1B, 3B, LF, CF and RF SHOULD ALREADY be SHIPPED at '0'.




    peace!

    I would imagine that the other position ratings are to give players the flexibilty to switch positions years into franchise/career mode.

      is it posssible that speed also takes into account how its used, by that i mean steals, 1st to 3rd etc., also i'm thinking they give the players a # for other positions in case a user is forced to play a player out of position.

        Re: The Mets' Jose Reyes Throwing Strength

        I looked at his and Jeter's posted ratings. Of course, some of us who like to keep things as accurate as can be, will have some work to do. There is noooooooooo way that Jeter's arm strength is stronger than Reyes'. Matter of fact, the ONLY shortstop in the game who throws harder than Reyes MAY be the Dodgers' Rafael Furcal...who throws absolute BB's to first base (like Shawon Dunston once did). If Jeter is ranked at 88, then Reyes should be 98. But I'd re-edit them...more along the lines of Jeter's throwing strength at 85 and Reyes at 95.

          I always wondered how they came up with those other ratings too.

          Either way, I could put a zero-familiar guy in the outfield and rob home runs on 2K6. I'm not sure how they changed it this year (unless they look at Pro Control Defense ).

            not a bad thought, but if we all want 'realism', then we got to have that corrected. I mean let's say You're platying with Boston and Mike Lowell gets injured diving for a ball. What are you gonna do? Put Manny at 3rd base so you can have Wily Mo Pena in the lineup? lol

            I know your point bro, but if we want it real, we have to keep it real...ya know?

              i remember in 2k4, i think it was, where kaz matsui was a 0 for familiarity at 2nd base (by accident) and he could do nothing at 2nd base until you reedited him to where he should be, then again that was 2k4 by blueshift.

                sounds familiar...and if I remember that game correctly (was that the one with Giambi on the cover?), depending on how much of a rating you gave or didnt give players, it affected substitutions, rosters changes and the like

                  Uribe of the White Sox has a real strong arm also.

                    I dont understand that nonsense, Furcal and Reyes have the top arms at short and Reyes always seems to get dogged in the ratings (in MVP too). I dont know why game developers keep overlooking his arm. As for power, I think they got the power for Reyes right because last year he hit 19, and I think the power ratings they gave him should bring around that total of HR's.

                      When i saw Reyes name pop up when i clicked on the ign feature a smile was put on my face. Hurry up MS and send me my 360 back.

                        Of course, if they used Pro Control Defense , then they would know that there are at least three types of throwing power attributes: Standstill, forward, and fade-away. Jeter is very strong with a fade-away throw.

                          LOL...you're right, he has a gun on that play....and now that you mention it, so does B.J. Upton! I saw a game on TV at The Stadium a couple of years back when like Jeter, he went in the hole...probably even deeper and falling away, threw a dart to first. The Yankees' analysts could not believe it...and neither could I!

                            I remember that throw. It wasn't too long ago. I think in 2005, actually.

                            I know I was in shock when I saw it. And not because I think Jeter is the only guy who can do it (he does it because that's what he enjoys doing to get runners out on that type of play), but because it was an amazing throw.
                            "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
