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

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

The problem I find with Curry's ratings in general is his passing ratings and defensive ratings, things of that nature, are typically boosted in 2K to give him one of the higher overall ratings in the game. I would rather 2k tweak the formula rather than overrate aspects of his game just to make sure his overall is high enough. I believe 2 seasons ago he was even ranked as the best defender on GS's roster, with passing stats that made him comparable to Magic. Just so he could stay up around a a 98 or whatever they wanted him at.

If you adjust his ratings accordingly he usually winds up around the lower 90's, which obviously doesn't represent a two time MVP level player so 2K boosts other aspects of his ratings. I don't care much for what a player's overall rating is, so I usually try to go through and adjust a lot of guys.

He's at a disadvantage because as a point guard guys who have better athletic attributes and passing attributes, like Westbrook and Wall, are going to have higher overalls even if they aren't necessarily better players. 2K tries to balance that rather than just not worry about what the rating shows, or tweak their own formula to value his shooting more. I'm just glad we can make our own changes.

Honestly, I cry every single time when I see a thread where some guys arguing about someone´s Overall Rating.

I don´t give a **** if Curry is rated 96 or 85.
All I want is him being the best 3Pt Shooter in the game, have great handles, being a decent Playmaker and an below average defender or average defender at best and I want him to take those crazy 3´s.

And I couldn´t care less if Westbrook is a 98 or a 84.
All I want is him to being that athletic freak the he is, that is nearly impossible to keep away from the basket.
And I want him to have his flaws, like being an average defender at best or taking too many 3´s (accurate Tendencies are as important as Ratings are).

And the same goes for every Player in the League.
I just want them to play like themselves and I want to really feel a difference when having a guy like LeBron on the team, a guy that transforms a decent team into a contender.

Trust me guys, if 2K would take out the Overalls or atleast make them hidden, so that there are no more unnecessary discussions about those damn Overalls, this would be a better game!!
Sadly, we all know that will never happen.

While we're on the topic of westbrook and being able to have the players "feel" like themselves, I'd like to see less players pulling off uber-athletic plays to pick off passes in 2k18.

Looking at this video, It just shows how amazing Westbrooks instincts are. However, It's almost like any CPU player can pull off these plays in 2k17. I see guys like Enes Kanter do it all the time.

Hopefully the "reaction time" and "pass perception" attributes matter a lot more this year

Actually I rarely play them together. I stagger them apart by putting Melo on the bench [emoji16]. He would never accept that in real life but he'd be the best sixth man.

That's a pretty revolutionary idea to take out the overalls. I like it. I agree I wish they just played like in real life and have their flaws too.


What do you guys think about the stamina in 2k17? I feel like they over compensated to the point where you can't really play them for more than half the game unless you want them at like 60.

Also I HATED how they changed the quick subs with the triangle and the colors to show you the players stamina. Before they had numbers, which was perfect! They had to change a perfectly good system for no reason. Now the only way to check stamina is to pause the game -_-

The ratings for the all-time teams are hands down the worst ratings ever for 2k

What happened?

The completely ignored reality and just made numbers up

John Davis and John Smith are underrated. Playing in mulitple teams but no minutes. Fix it.

But they are all time greats, they have to have high ratings!!!

Yeah I know what you mean...George Hill for example was never higher than a 76 on the pacers. In the all time roster he is now a 84. Guys like Iverson have very, very high Defense ratings, though he was never known as even a solid defender.

There must be a ratings debate every year haha. The only ratings i am skeptical about are some of the legends ratings more than current players. Devin Booker seems overrated to me but he improved slightly across the board on offense with increased usage which is a good sign. Ratings are free publicity for games but for 2K it is raised up higher by being so popular by mainstream media and players.
