Re: Final list of NBA 2K11 Player Ratings w/ Jordan team ratings

I'd think it's also largely dependent on who can be contacted, who is willing to be contacted, and then who is agreeable to the terms offered. Like the above poster said, I'd guess there's a large chunk of players who either just don't want to be involved in a video game or put a larger price tag on their likeness than 2K could afford to dish out.

2K isn't running around beating doors down. This type of stuff is handled by the Players Association. Retired players are not difficult to track down considering the majority of them collect a pension.

Besides, should we REALLY be expected to believe that 2K can afford the rights to all those Legends teams they've been throwing in the game for years but NOT immortals like Shandon Anderson?

Believe me, money/rights was NOT an issue. That's just the 2K spin machine making excuses for another subpar roster effort.

So some teams only have 5 or 6 players wtf?

I wouldn't be surprised if Jacque is finally off the free agents list.

He won't be. Brevin Knight offiicially retired last year (announcing Bobcats games) and he's still in. Jacque Vaughn officially retired 3 days ago. 2K takes YEARS to remove players from the FA pool for whatever reason. They simply put very minimal effort into anything roster related.

The ONLY way I can see "time" being an issue is if they wanted to have accurate facial models for the players they were adding (but then, I'm sure the model they have for David Andersen isn't too far from what they'd give Greg Ostertag).

Fair enough. I guess neither of us know for sure. It looks like an agree to disagree situation.

Man, Brad Daugherty is somewhat underrated and Horace Grant (overall all versions) seems very underrated IMO.

What do you think Rashidi?

Horace Grant underrated?

He has an 80 in the 89-90 and 90-91 versions and a 82 in the 91-92 version.

How is that underrated?

Re: Final list of NBA 2K11 Player Ratings w/ Jordan team ratings

Agreed, if you think Horace Grant is underrated... Man I don't know what to tell you. I mean Laimbeer is just a smidge higher (83) on the 1990 Pistons, and I would say they nailed Laimbeer in the rating department. You think Grant is higher? Pass it over man...

Magic didn't win an MVP until age 27. LeBron is 25 and already has 2. You sure about that?



LeBron wasn't drafted to a team that had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (and later James Worthy). Magic wasn't drafted to a team that had Darius Miles and Ricky Davis.



He IS underrated, but the reason's you gave weren't exactly legit. Deron Williams is rated 92 overall and Magic blows him away in just about every area of the game besides 3pt shooting (which he had finally added to his game, in 1990).

I agree with everything you said except the bolded. I'm not disagreeing with you that Magic is better than Deron Williams, aside from the fact that he blows him away in every category except 3pt shooting. Williams is quicker, more explosive, POSSIBLY better handles, and those categories are given much more weight to point guards which is why a 31-32 year old Magic has an equal rating to a 25-26 year old Williams.

I'd need to see Grant's ratings. Worth noting Grant does jump to 82 on the 92 team, as that was easily his best season. Not sure if he's worth an 80 on the 90 and 91 team though.

82 is probably okay for Daugherty too because 90 was actually the 2nd worst season of his career. He wasn't much of a shot blocker, which goes a long way towards overall rating.

@theworldisyours

the 1990-91 version and 1991-92 version overall seem underrated to what grant really was and contributed as a player. IMO in 1991 he was already an 82 (at least) and in 1992 he became and all around All-Star caliber player.

Thanks, on a second thought I was thinking about that too about Brad, you're right.

Wow, extremely disappointed that they have so many generic guys...they made such a big deal about how many players they had too

Re: Final list of NBA 2K11 Player Ratings w/ Jordan team ratings

Not even mentioning the fact that "you" a regular guy that does not even work for 2ksports or anything to do with basketball video games in the first place, does not have to pay people for their likeness and to have them in video games.

Regular guy? Who are people that work at 2K..? Super Heros?

RAPTORS
75 - Leandro Barbosa (SG)
74 - Andrea Bargnani (C)
72 - Jose Calderon (PG)
69 - Jarrett Jack (PG)
67 - Ed Davis (PF)
64 - Julian Wright (SF)
64 - DeMar DeRozan (SG)
63 - Joey Dorsey (PF)

63 - Amir Johnson (PF)
62 - Marcus Banks (PG)
60 - Sonny Weems (SG)

What is with the raptors ratings? Has 2k seen sonny weems play last year because i know for a FACT that he is not worse than joey dorsey, reggie evans and marcus banks. C'mon 2k is this on purpose cause you don't like canada? These ratings are a joke. Derozan only a 64, i could go on.

Fine. Sonny Welms Can be a 67. But dude, the Raptors are still gonna suck.

Alright but your basing that off the guy's entire CAREER. Of course Magic is one of the top 3 players in NBA history.

But was Lebron's 2009-2010 better than Magic's 90-91 season. Definitely

Was Wade's 2009-2010 better? maybe not but to give him the benefit of the doubt his defense during that season was better than's Magic for the 90-91 season.

I get what you are trying to say and if we were comparing Career's then you'll have a extremely valid point.

But where not, where debating a 90-91 season and the upcoming season. and trust me I think Lebron at 25 is better than Magic at age 31.

And Lebrons a Small Foward, and Magics a Point Guard. Considering the ratings are position specific, that would have something to do with the points you all are trying to make.
