Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update (1-5-13)

Great updates. I am loving this game since last Thursday, all of the new rosters are so much fun. Also brings a lot of commentary into the game that you weren't hearing before. Definitely need to take Avery Johnson out of the game though. Still, it's really something else how people complain. It doesn't seem so long to me that I was totally accustomed to dominating the league with SG #99 on the Chicago Bulls, and you couldn't even change the rosters ourselves, and we were perfectly fine with it. Or maybe even go back a little further when everybody was an identical black man, and then you knew you were controlling Larry Bird because he had yellow hair? Remember the early Madden's when NONE of the players were black? And most people didn't even notice! We've turned into a picky society....

Anyone else agree with me that Eric Bledsoe is overrated at 81? He's a great potential player but I think a fair rating would be 72-75 with high potential and athleticism and defense.

What!? Bledsoe is 81 nOw wow. They should've left him where he was

We've turned into a picky society because the roster updates can be so much better, especially with the technology that we have now.

Oh wait...Gerald Green had another "awesome" game last night where he managed to play 37 minutes and shoot 2-for-7 with 6....SIX!!!....turnovers!

His PER is now a whopping 7.9.

The league average is supposed to be 15.

Yet Gerald Green plays like a mini-LeBron and has shooting skills in this game that rival most STAR players...you know FUTURE Hall fo Famers...ya know, like Gerald frickin' Green.

I don't know. Gerald Green is just one of those videogame NBA Players where they could nerf him down to upper 60's, and people could still score with him like crazy.

Umm I wish I could for quick matches online?

Fair enough.

Only because parts of this game are BROKEN.

In a game where 2K has made it so EASY to score by simply holding TURBO with a fast guy who can dunk(because dunks animations are unstoppable), obviously atheltic dunkers will play unrealistically.

This has nothing to do with "just being one of those guys"...it has to do with flawed programming.

My take on this isn't that 2K is all that bad at making the game, they are bad at implementing it. What i mean is it's POSSIBLE to make the game play realistically, but 2K chooses NOT to implement it mainly because they are afraid it will alienate a portion of gamers who think the game is too "hard".

So instead of making the game more difficult and forcing gamers to actually use some of the great controls that are present in the game....they just make the game EASY.

That way someone who just wants to buy the game, pop it in their console, and then IMMEDIATELY hop online and drop 25 points with LeBron in a 5 minute quarter game can do so!

Instant gratification!

Larry Sanders Block rating is still to low even at 90, this guy blocks shots at a incredible rste of 9.2%(leads nba) look at Lopez who block rating is a 89 but BLK % only at 6.0 The only two guys that deserve a 95+ rating in blocks are Sanders & Ibaka. All of the numbers those two put up in block shots are amazing. By far the 2 best shot blockers in the nba

Completely agree....was excited to see Sanders get a boost, until I saw the boost.

He went from 81 in Block to 90....eh....

How is that going to make him impact game the way he does right now?

His block rating needs to be in Ibaka range, if not a point or two higher. His shot blocking is changing games, it should have the same impact in 2K.

If his Shot-Blocking is "impactful and game changing", why are they a .500 team?

Are we talking Mark Eaton?

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update (1-5-13)

The ? Is would they even be a 500 team if he wasnt in the middle to change so many shots? I watch the Bucks daily (from Milwaukee) & he is a game changer. Jennings & Ellis gamble way too much & when they dont get the stl Sanders is there to make sure their player doesnt score or make it a hard shot. & the Bucks are a playoff team as of today, Sanders is a big reason why. Leader in total blocks, blocks per game, & block % . Hes in the running for DPOY, hell Larry needs a 99 block rating. Numbers are amazing. If guys like kevin love can have 99rebs then a player like Larry with his shot blocking numbers should get a 99, if he got the 99 how could guys argue against it when hes the best shot blocker in the nba

Im sorry I think your in The Fanboy Zone.

If he's a 90+ shot Blocker and does it in the video game why does he need to be 99 because of Kevin Love?

Best in the League in 2013 after two months = 99?

Should the Steals leader in todays NBA have the same Steal rating as the greatest stealers of all-time or just of the season?

99 is like GOAT ratings.....IMO.

I couldnt pound my chest having lost 4 in a row and sitting at 500 with the 7th seed.

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update (1-5-13)

Im not bring a fanboy about the Bucks, lol but in a game like 2k13 where its already hard to even register blocked shots id say the very high rating of blocking shots are needed for the elite shotblockers. A lot of animations are to the point of no matter what u do u wont register a block such as dunks.

And what does being a Bucks fan & them being 500 have anything to do with Larrys rating? All stats show that he should be the highest rated player in blocks on 2k13. Should Kyrie Irving recieve a - because his team sucks? No, hes playing great. & Sanders is a really good defensive C.

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update (1-5-13)

Besides Sanders block rating (i think he deserves highes block rating in 2k13) im more then fine with everything else on his ratings.

Mike Dunleavy needs spot up shooter sig

Lance Stephenson is still underated in a few areas,1 being FT which 2k has it low 50s I believe

Austin Rivers is playing horrible but still a beast on 2k

Are we never gonna get an update for the mobile version?

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update (1-5-13)

What's the deal with lowering Lopez? Can anyone find out which rating they brought down
?
