NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Some of these ratings puzzle me.
I don't understand why Chris Bosh is rated lower than the likes of Elton Brand and Al Jefferson. Clearly 2K bases their player ratings on stats from the season before....

BINGO!!!! This is what many seem not to understand. The ratings are not solely based on prior year performance, but they are heavily based on those statistics. Superstars seem to be the only exception to this rule, whereas track record is also taken into account.

Damn,

OS has gone downhill.

All of those players are clearly better than Iverson.

Iverson was drafted the same year Kobe was drafted.. the same exact miles on both players(Kobe actually has more miles since he played more playoff games and had carried weaker teams).. Eric Snow has always been nothing more than a role player and has been past his prime for years.. while many suggested Iverson is not even remotely falling off his game and would produce as much with a defensive team... this was said by many nba commentators just last season...

Kobe at 2003>>> now IMO, but he's still the best player in the league...


Because his prime years(25-33) was with the Sixers......

What does Shaq have to do with anything?? Obviously Shaq was the best player in 2000.. but we're talking about today's lakers vs iversons 76ers/lebrons current cavs...


Anybody who watched both series would admit that the Cavs were a better matchup against the Celtics zone defense and strong perimeter play.. The Lakers outside of Kobe have defensive liabilities at every single position.. and remember the Lakers were also missing their starting center who was also their second best defender.


When did I bring up Shaq?

dude said kobe was carrying more weak teams than iverson.....what in the hell have you been smoking?

You've been here much longer than I have, so you would know what this site use to be like, but yeah, I joined for the simple fact that a friend said that this is a great site for sports video game discussion, but all I've seen thus far since joining is bitchin about stupid ****, over analyzing, and people who try to make it seem like they aren't biased fanboys, but it couldn't be more obvious. Now I've only been here for a month so I'm waiting to see if things get better, but this is not what I thought this site would be.

the os has always over analyzed things especially when it comes to 2k, really it is just a video game but this game has evolved into something so real(starting with 2k7) people come to expect for everything in the real game to be in the video game, but i must say

i feel the criticism here goes a long way into making the game that os will be satisfied with

i think it started when 2k4 came out, the series was going in a bad direction now i dont think 2k can do anything but get better

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

You guys think this is bad?

Ha. Go visit the 2k boards, then come back here to OS. It'll be a breath of fresh air.

All things pro basketball (the NBA forum or the 2K/Live forums) are always the worst on OS. Cept maybe the Madden forum around release time.

Can't argue w. that. Sooner or later OS may have to adopt a referral system to register.

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Damn, ya'll weren't lying where ya'll said around the time 2K comes out is when OS REALLY starts to get OC lol.

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

Awesome Steve. much respect for these screens. Some of these ratings though...

Re: NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Player Ratings

How about the discussion of the forums going up or down be done in the neighbohood thread instead of this thread.

I have my own thoughts but i wouldnt mind contributing them to a thread where i wont have to move it or lock it for going too far off topic.

Why do i have to feel that, that is necessary, it is for the forums to stay readable.

BINGO!!!! This is what many seem not to understand. The ratings are not solely based on prior year performance, but they are heavily based on those statistics. Superstars seem to be the only exception to this rule, whereas track record is also taken into account.

I wasn't claiming that Brand should be rated lower, I just think that Bosh, still having a better season than Brand should not have had his rating hastily decreased. They should first of all avoid overrating players, and then if they have a slightly sub-par year they won't decrease ratings unless a steady decline in stats, play time is seen over a few seasons. Also, Brand hasn't been in the league much longer than Bosh. Bosh, since becoming an allstar has consistently put up over 22 pts and about 10 boards per game; I think that is a good track record. Has anyone ever thought that the reason his boards decreased slightly was because he had more help from players like Jamario Moon and Nesterovic. That doesn't mean he is any worse a rebounder for example. I would also think that by now Chris would have enough respect by now to be called a superstar/franchise player.
