Taking a Look at NBA 2K18's Player Ratings So Far

Re: Taking a Look at NBA 2K18's Player Ratings So Far

I thought that the players were rated based on their archtype. Going off 2K17, Kawhi is 96 rated "two way super star". Steph is rated 95 as an "all around star". That doesn't mean Kawhi is better than Steph, just that he's a better "two way superstar". Devin Booker is rated as an 83 "premier perimeter threat". So could he just be an 88 or whatever he is this year as that. Their rating isn't necessarily how they are viewed league wide. Isn't that how they are supposed to be viewed?

Agreed, it's also position based. Some attributes matter way more to certain positions. So cross matching positions to compare ratings isn't the best idea. Some guys are better at what they need to be good at than others.

The real question, were these overalls tested out in myleague 5, 10 years in?

guys like marquese chriss, hernangomez, brandon ingram, bobby portis and nearly every single one of those lottery picks are way overrated.

I don't see how you can have DeRozan as overrated and not immediately list Booker right after

[GuwopGeezus]

No way PG is overrated IMO. These are supposed to be historic scales so 91 is enough for him. I'd probably even have him 1 or 2 points lower. Jae Crowder is not underrated. He is a specialist he doesn't have an all around game and he's not that athletic so he is limited in what he can do. I'm sure gameplay wise he is similar to real life. Also, as others have said, idk how Booker didn't make this list.

Paul George isn't underrated at all, a 91 is perfect for him.

D Rose was statistically close to or better than D Wade in nearly everything last season. The difference in their ratings shouldn't be this drastic. I know Rose's awful 3-ball is gonna drop him this low, but Derozan is nearly just as bad and it didn't give him a huge knock. D Rose should be at least an 84.

D-Rose should not be at least an 84, a 78 is actually a perfect rating for him. At this stage of his career he is a slashing scoring guard best suited for a 6th Man role.

He is one of the worst defenders in basketball meaning low ratings in defensive awareness, steals, and on-ball defense. He shot 22% from 3 which means his presence should affect spacing and he should have a low three point rating, his durability should be low considering he can't play 36 minutes or clear 65 games a season and is coming off a torn meniscus that ended his year, he should not be going coast to coast and dunking like in 2K17 considering he only dunked 8 times in 64 games.

D-Wade is better than D-Rose.

Joel Embiid should be higher than an 86, he has a massive impact on both sides, when he was on the floor the Sixers were a playoff team. He didn't play heavy minutes but his production per minute was insane.

The only issue is his durability but he may be the best big man in basketball when he does play.

KAT is overrated at 91 he isn't there yet defensively and he has a bit of tunnel vision as a passer.

Yep. Once I see an overall I look at the position and player archetype. I don't look at it in a vacuum. Looking at with those parameters they usually make sense.

Totally agree with u on D-rose. His defensive effort and grumpiness from the look of his face are just affecting his overall effectiveness. I'm not sure if he is bothered by his knees though. If it is I can understand that coz i'm also playing with similar injury.

Respectfully disagree on d-wade. His defense is going down, and he's not the old wade who block a ton of shots for a guard.

Embid? His durability must have pulled him down. Did he average a double-double?

I doubt it. 95% of players probably never get close to that in MyLeague so there's really no point.

These ratings are made strictly for online and play now most likely.

Imo, the only thing that matters to overalls in long haul MyLeagues is the improvement/regression algorithm and how well it works.

Hernangomez is a walking double double...

Re: Taking a Look at NBA 2K18's Player Ratings So Far

I love the kid but Porzingis is kinda overrated.

Why do you say that? I think he's underrated. I think he should be like an 87 or 88.

Part of the problem is Melo's presence - he takes more touches and opportunities from Porzingis to score and be the focal point of offense.

If Porzingis had the freedom and touches like KAT, I think he'd be pretty close. His jumper is smooth (I think his 3pt shot should be 85), his contested shots should be way higher since he's so tall, and his handling and speed is better in real life than in the game.

He's a two way player who can block the rim and shoot threes - that's super rare! and he moves pretty good for a guy his size.

I didn't like seeing D-Rose in real life but playing as him in 2k17, he's definitely way better than he should be. He still has 95 speed and he can still finish pretty well in the game. He's been awesome for me in 2k since I actually pass with him (something the real d-rose doesn't) and also play defense.
