a glass cleaner with no shot, post moves, handles or monumental defensive impact rated 83 scares me. but im trying to keep the new system in mind.

I have a lot to learn about this new rating system. The guy is average at blocks but rebounds great that's it and is a 83.

I'm sorry, but just in case you missed the memo, Andre Drummond can ball.

Handles, Passing, PIP shot bot blocking and rebounding

Well then, the Greek Freak better be a 75.

please tell me you didn't post a 2011 pick up ball mixed tape video to compare it to his professional basketball 2k rating?

Andre's a very effective basketball player and as a Pistons fan I pull for the big guy, but he has glaring holes. He's such a huge dude with such athletic ability that he can engulf rebounds like very little others ever could. He's also very good at collecting alley-oop passes. He can dribble in a straight line in the open floor with solid skill and occasionally he'll display a soft touch inside.

On the flip side, he has virtually zero ability with his back to the basket. He also cannot shoot outside of five feet and struggles to make 40% of his free throws. Moreover, his overall court awareness is lacking (his slow defensive rotations have been covered time and again in our region). He is also somewhat foul prone and still developing his stamina. With all those things taken into account, it was tough to get his overall up in previous 2K's.

That said, I'd be curious to see how Drummond fits within the context of the new rating system. I've already forgotten exactly how it works. Is it based on position? Or player type? If Drummond is considered a garbage man of sorts, cleaning up the boards, tying up loose ends (alleys, blocks, putbacks) then I suppose an 83 would be fitting.

Oh, his video did not show up for me. That may have explained some things.

I guess we should expect similar rating for Deandre Jordan? Perhaps higher even since his help defense, as of right now, is better.

An 83 for a completely one dimensional, athletic, and albeit raw young player with crazy potential and room to improve? This new ratings system has me saying (read below).

Re: NBA 2K15 Player Rating - Andre Drummond Overall 83

You people are misinterpreting the ratings. I doubt the rating system anywhere near the same as before, and I think it's placed more on his value on the floor than his actual skillset. He's not monumental (Who said you needed to be a top defensive player in the league to be not even 85 overall?) on defense but he certainly is one of the better defensive centers in the NBA. He doesn't have great post moves but on the run and off the glass he's highly efficient.

Re: NBA 2K15 Player Rating - Andre Drummond Overall 83

Andre Drummond is an excellent finisher around the rim. He can block, he's arguably the most athletic center in the league, and he's probably on pace to be the best rebounding big very quickly.

More than likely, he'll average anywhere between 16-21 points, 13-17 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal next season. His rating in 2K will increase.

When outside of rebounding, you do nothing else besides put it in well from 3ft, you need to be monumental on defense IMO to be an 83

An 83 in the realm of "rebounders"? Maybe, but how do you slant overalls that way when compared to more complete players like Dwight, Davis and Cousins?

Re: NBA 2K15 Player Rating - Andre Drummond Overall 83

I can't believe people are really getting this upset over his overall lol

He probably has a high inside shot, layup, and dunk rating.
Mid 90 offensive/defensive rebound, and block.

As a center in today's NBA, that's all that's asked of you...and weren't we all "so happy" with the new ratings system? Jeez.
