NBA 2K14 Player Ratings Released So Far

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - Westbrook, Bennett, Pau Gasol

No more than it is for defensive specialist Victor Oladipo..

I'm happy with it

In my opinion, the pick is a huge reach, too.

I saw Anthony Bennett play against my Cal Bears in the tourney. Nothing he did stood out to me like a #1 pick or a 76 rated NBA player. A mid-to-high 70's rated big like say, Carl Landry would destroy in the NCAA.

Not that he can't develop but he'd be like a 68-71 with good potential upside in my book.

I also don't see why they have to rate players that high just for being low picks considering it's widely acknowledged that this is the weakest draft in years.

How long did it take for ratings of players like T-Rob, Fab Melo, Rivers, and Sullinger to drop last year?

For jr and wade you have points. but considering heat won again wade isnt going to be bumped too much. jr would be fine if they had a inconsistent sig skill. but yea

They do actually. It's called the consistency rating.

They should have an Easily Distracted sig skill though. JR's performance should drop every time a Rihanna song plays during timeouts.

Evan Turner is a 76, via Ronnie.

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - Russell Westbrook, Anthony Bennett, Pau Gasol & Evan Tu

91 for Westbrook is a slight dip right?

76 for Turner I think that is the same.

PF/C's get dinged if their strength and rebounding and post defense is not high. I believe Zeller falls into that category for now. Most of the lottery picks will be high 60's to mid 70's. I expect McLemore to be rated the highest at 77, but I am expecting Oladipo, CJ McCollum or McLemore to end up with the highest rating end of season.

I wanna know what they rate jrue holiday seeing he was my favorite player on the sixers before they traded him -__-

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - LeBron James, Roy Hibbert & Victor Oladipo

He played very good in 12-13, but I'm not sure you should mention the lockout year. 43% shooting is bad...

Also PER slightly favours players who attempt more shots, if your looking for an overall stat WS/48 would probably be a bit better than PER.

Yea I only brought up his 43 percent shooting to show he improved his shooting this year. To 45. An yea I hear you. I don't like PER much but before this season that was a big Knock on melo. And this year he improved that

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - LeBron James, Roy Hibbert & Victor Oladipo

JR Smith flat out sucked in the series against Indiana. He sucked so bad, he could have won sixth man of the year for the Pacers. If he's still in the 80's, then that will be a crime.

Not defending jr but yea he was terrible after the terry elbow leading into the pacers series. But I believe the last month before the playoffs he was averaging something like 20 ppg and 6 Rebs on 49 percent and 41 from three. 2k does go more by normal season play for ratings so I wouldn't be surprised if he was a 80 plus. He also is an underrated rebounder. He is second in the league at his position for rebounding.

Nope Westbrook was an 90 in the last update. One point bump. And turner was dropped by a lot. I believe he was a 80
Something in the last update. 82 I believe

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - Paul George, Cody Zeller & Brook Lopez

If he plays like he does in real life I don't care what PG's overall is.

[dukebeatsuncagain]

Bennett's skin color is WAY off.

[sactown_13]

Ratings will change. And don't get me wrong, I am a fan of bennetts game, But having his rating only 5 points below hibbert gasol and lopez is a bit ridiculous.

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - Paul George, Cody Zeller & Brook Lopez

Also, I get the impression that consistency is just judged subjectively like offensive and defensive awareness. I'm guessing that's why the stat number is always in multiples of five. But don't 2K know that there is already a completely objective way to calculate consistency? You just take their average FG% over the whole season and calculate the mean standard deviation (MSD). The bigger the standard deviation (away from the mean), the lower the consistency. They could even make it more accurate by adding consistency stats based on the MSD for every single shot, including shots like layup, post fade, post hook etc.

Yeah, you'd think this would be one of the easiest attributes to rate with the data available.

[Xxstr8xRecklessxX]

sum of these 2k rating look good and bad like the good is paul cuz next season he has to prove he's the star of the team to become a 90, pau gasol ill stick with 80 79 78 cuz dude didnt seem to impress me last season and wasnt part of the Mike "no defense" d'antoni system even tho he tried, roy hibbert.......post game better be increased , evan and lopez just right

the bad, imma admit lebron can be called 99 by others but i c 97 in my opinion, anthony bennet ......jeez 2k every #1 pick gotta be good?, victor...... sure hes a guard and play D and possibly fast but that sound like a number 1 draft pick also compare how cody zeller got......i could see dude be like a hustle player like joakim noah.
but that's my opinion toward ratings on 2k
lets see what 2k say for other stars and other rookies rookies. going be crazy to see d rose and granger the same rating from before

Re: NBA 2K14 Player Ratings - LeBron James, Roy Hibbert & Victor Oladipo

melo had a bad year? lol yikes. Considering he averaged 23 on 43 percent shooting in the lockout year and this year avg 29 7 and 3. on 45 percent shooting and 38 from three and won a scoring title, id say it was a pretty good yea. He was 3rd in MVP voting and 4th in PER behind lebron, KD and CP3. He also went 4 games shooting 60 percent from the field while averging 40 points.(mostly jumpshots which makes it even more crazy).

For jr and wade you have points. but considering heat won again wade isnt going to be bumped too much. jr would be fine if they had a inconsistent sig skill. but yea

Melo is an efficient chucker. He chucked somewhat efficiently the first part of the year, then the second half he didn't, what would lead people to believe differently is that one week of good games he had.
