Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

blake griffin has post playmaker...not post proficiency

Al Jefferson being rated over Roy Hibbert,Marc Gasol,Brook Lopez and Greg Monroe is a travesty.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

He's actually an "86" and the third best player on the team. No person in their right mind believes that Ginobili is better than Leonard, let alone still better than Parker. Parker is a better passer, defender and is far more efficient than all three mentioned players. He even puts up similar, or better, numbers in far less minutes and in an offense that is about shot distribution. 2K just ****s on him yearly, even when he's the bonafide third or fourth best player at his position.

Rashidi (Real 2K Insider) just broke it down on his blog:

Yeah, who in their right mind believes Chauncey Billups is still a starting caliber point guard? 2K Sports, that's who. Yes, Deron Williams and Jrue Holiday are both better than Tony Parker, while Eric Bledsoe is only 4 points below him!!!!!!!!

It doesn't seem that Parker's really being underrated as much as others are being massively overrated.

Is Ginobli really higher rated than Parker? That's crazy. Ginobli is a shell of himself.

Anyway, agree on the massive overrating of everyone you mentioned outside of Curry. Holiday an 88, really? I'd also be fine with Steph dropping a few points as long as he's as deadly as he is in real life. In fact I think his perimeter D needs to be dropped to a C or a C+ level. It's ridiculous that Steph has a B rating while Klay, our best perimeter D guy last year has a C and is the worst of all our wings. Come on 2K. The Warriors are your local team. Does no one in the office know their roster (or what Steph's jumpshot looks like for that matter)?

Parker's defense is pretty mediocre though. That justifiably hurts his overall.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

STATs is supposed to be redoing the ratings/tends on Day1, so with that I gots to wait until after Day1 to pass judgement.

Question is, does Stats give new ratings or just modify existing ratings based in streaks? If its the latter, overrated players will still stay overrated even after a drop.

Also, if they are only modifying streaks, certain harder to measure stats like perimeter D, athleticism, and defensive/offensive awareness may not get updated.

I'm not a Gordon fan or anything but he is way better than a 69. Not an 84, but both he and Klay Thompson should be a mid to high 70's. Bazemore only being 3 points lower than Klay is crazy.

85 isn't overrated for Iggy because he IS above average in just about everything with elite perimeter D and still has high athleticism which tends to boost overalls.

This is what I was wondering. It is just going to be fluctuating based off the current ratings or will it create new ratings all together based purely on stats?

Hayward on his rating:

2k ratings are comical...haha smh ill just prove them wrong <s>#</s>improveeveryday

[X*Cell]

So mad bench players on the Spurs are sub-65... but Tracy McGrady who retired and couldn't sniff the floor with them in the playoffs last season is rated a 72. Ummm... okay.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

Umm Jeff Taylor should be rated higher
MKG should be lower
Neal should be a spot up shooter
AND WHY IN THE WORLD IS LeBRON an A outside shooter and Ray Allen is a B
Don't get me started on the FA ratings

LeBron shot better overall than Ray Allen. Is Allen a better shooter from a career yes. But Allen struggled in deep two's for two years in a row. Also Ray Allen shoots almost all of his shots are assisted. He is a great shooter. I bet he has a few cold zones in the deep two range that are messing up his ratings.

10-15 ft 16-23ft 3pt jumpers
LeBron 41% 46% 41% 43%
Allen 46% 33% 42% 42%

Parker is no worse or better defensively in comparison to any of the point guards slotted ahead of him, except a healthy D-Rose and Rondo, and the fact that you are using that as a knock is reaching. Irving and Curry are considered worse as one-on-one defenders, yet neither is below Parker in overall. Parker is more efficient, less turnover prone, more "clutch" and far more experienced than almost everyone above him yet his intangible ratings are likely worse. He isn't being given the credit he's earned and is underrated. He should be in the elite company PGs with Rondo (healthy), Westbrook, Rose (healthy) and Paul. They all get their appropriate placing for the most part, while Parker is docked an arbitrary amount for weaknesses he no longer possesses. Bull****!!!!

And obviously, I'm not saying he's without weaknesses because all players have them. He's just learned to minimize them with hard work and gearing his game towards his strengths. All this without being the lighting fast player he once was. He's lost a half a step or so, yet makes up for it with savvy, tremendous footwork and an under appreciated off-ball game.

Yeah, they totally ****ted on our bench with the exception of - apparently still in his prime - Ginobili. LOL

Ginobili had the worst statistical season since his rookie year, yet still is measured out as an all-star caliber player by 2K. Parker had his second best statistical season and unarguably his best overall as a pro, yet still is below Manu, Timmy and far too many inferior PGs. LOL

Diaw was ****ted on the worst, IMO, but they have him (and Bonner) at the wrong position so that doesn't help his (their) overall. They also possess unconventional games for NBA bigmen.

Neal should be a spot up shooter

Are you implying that Gary Neal should only be a spot-up shooter? He's not elite by any measure, but he has a solid if not very good off-the-dribble game. The problem is he's a black hole/ball hog and doesn't have a true position. He's also absolutely horrible on defense on-ball or otherwise.

Yeah, the free-agent ratings are annually atrocious in comparison to players on teams. Stephen Jackson is likely done as an NBA player - his play last year was abominable and he's slow as molasses - but he's rated as the best free-agent in the game. Huh?

Can someone post a sorted list?

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

Does anyone have the numbered and not grade ratings?

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

Durant should have gotten a 96 and Paul a 94. Ginobili got too high and Duncan and Parker got too low.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Player Ratings

Honestly makes me question the integrity of this game with the ratings being so flawed.
