NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

Come on, man.

Duncan is the 3rd best center in the league. His numbers are still exactly the same as his whole career he's just playing less minutes. 2011 was a disaster but he had a comeback season of sorts. Roy Hibbert, Noah, Marc Gasol are a step below. And Garnett playing center in the playoffs was great, so if you want he's up there

Duncan and Manu have carried Parker his whole playoffs career (including this year WCF), and at age 30 he is all of the sudden a top 15? I would bet my house that he isn't gonna be the second coming of Steve Nash (in a development standpoint, of course not in play style)

I agree with a lot of points but given how the ratings are year by year and how great centers are scarce Parker was the go to guy last year and Duncan was solid(I cant say top 3) but there aren't many centers deserving of ratings That range. Even Bynum was inconsistent but I'll throw him up there. I can't sit here and say I watched 60+ spurs games like a spurs fan would but in the numerous games I did watch Parker was the playmaker, not Duncan. But ask me 2-3 years ago, TP was the third wheel and I remember when the offense ran through Tim.

The offense does go through him. You're right. And if his olympics showing is what we can expect from him this year then I'm not thrilled about our chances. Unless Manu becomes "Fiba Emanuel" one last time or Duncan becomes old Duncan/Dwight Howard in our paint.

about the top 20, I think the only ones missing are Dirk and Griffin. Gay has always been overrated.

A rough list for me would be
LeBron
Howard
KD
Cp3
Rose
WBrook
Kobe
Wade
Rondo
J Smith
Parker
Dirk
Al Jefferson
Blake
Bynum
Nash
Melo
Deron
Harden
Ginobli
Joe Johnson
Love
Rudy Gay

Erm... where's the Love? Harden, Joe Johnson, Ginobili, Al Jefferson!, Griffin, etc etc ALL better than Love??? Did I mention Al Jefferson?!

Fail.

Plus, no respect for DWill. Tisk tisk.

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

Love isn't a very efficient player. D-Will hasn't been recently either. Plus neither can put any wins together. Al Jefferson is a great offensive post player and has a bigger impact than Love. But I don't expect many to agree and that's fine. Love is a great rebounder and perimeter shooter. Unfortunately, I don't think he's effective enough to carry an offense. The Jazz go to Al Jeff nearly every play and they were top 10 in offensive efficiency.

[papaey]

these player ratings are insignificant. modders would just edit the ratings and call it kova real roster v.1 v.2 v.3.

sorry bad english

He's a solid player, but show me how Jefferson has had anywhere close to this impact:

26 ppg, 13.3 rpg, 37% 3pt%, 82% FT%
(not to mention, winner of the 3pt contest and the fact that Love's reb, 3pt and FT were even better the year prior)

[garnettfan]

2 many pg above rondo he is the best

[jobigdaddy]

As a thunder fan, im surprised at westbrook over rose. But maybe that had to do something with Rose's injury riddled season vs westbrook's best season.

And I'm glad they finally took wade down to a probably 93 where he needs to be

Glad russell finally gets some recognition tho and is not 2k's poor man's rose, they both do the same thing except russ can shoot better..I think D rose is a better #1 option and team leader though

lmao did you just say russel westbrook is a better shooter than d rose? you need to watch some basketball bro

[marcfromoregon]

My top 20:
1. LBJ
2. KD
3. CP3
4. D12
5. Kobe
6. DWade
7. DRose
8. Rondo
9. DWill
10. Westbrook
11. Dirk
12. Bynum
13. Melo
14. TP
15. Love
16. Nash
17. Duncan
18. Manu
19. Aldridge
20. Harden

I'm not going to argue over this if you disagree...

Dirk isn't top 15. Specially not after last year. I'm having hard time placing him 16-20.
1 lbj 2 KD 3 d12 4 cp3 5 Kobe 6 drose 7 wade 8 rondo 9 Westbrook 10 Williams 11 love 12 Melo 13 Bynum 14 Parker 15 J smith 16 Duncan 17 gay 18 iggy 19 Griffin 20 Manu 21 nash

Rose better than wade, not yet buddy keep dreaming

Its very debatable. He does have an MVP under his belt and is right there number wise. Wade showed signs of declining last year but hell probably bounce back strong.

No disrespect but that's just a basic stat line with little detail or insight. I understand all the Love fans but when it comes to winning you need guys who can create their own shot and do it EFFECIENTLY. Jefferson has a far better post game and the team revolves around him. Love is a spot up shooter who is a scrapper that scores off assisted baskets and cleaning up his own misses. That's not enough to win. I know I'm in the vast minority here and I don't expect to change anyone's minds but at least try to see where I'm coming from philisophically.

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

2k is all screwed up when it comes to Rose! He destroyed Chris Paul and he's faster than Westbrook...has a better IQ and Westbrook has Durant! Rose is the only elite player who doesn't have another elite player on his team yet he still puts up numbers just as good if not better than most rated higher than himself! He also was the only athlete who consistently kept getting no fouls called as he drove lanes...yet his percentages are still up there with and better than the others... Westbrook has Durant, Wade has LBJ, Kobe had Bynum, and CP3 has Griffin. The man gets injured one season and they forget how unstoppable he is:/ That's just disrespectful to have Westbrook over him and CP3 two points higher. At first I thought it was because of his injury...but if that were the case wtf is Howard doing at a 95! Rose should be a 94-95. Or at least just as good as the other elite smalls in the league...Westbrook doesn't belong there...91 at best! He'd get destroyed if the defense only had to focus on him.
