So When Did Live Start Giving Players Overall Ratings?

[DC]

I was playing old Live's this weekend on Genesis. Up to 98, they didn't have overall ratings. I thought that was cool since I hate them so much these days on sports games.

In live 95 you could make threes with reggie miller from half court.

i coudlnt tell you what his three point rating was.

did he even have one?

i dont even ever remember looking at a dudes "Ratings" back then... just his stats to see if he could shoot threes. and i knew who could dunk back then and who had the "custom" animations so it was all good.

I used to give my friends the BUISNESS with Derrick Mckie, and Wesley Person...or was it Chuck...lol

The best player in NBA Live 95 was Rex Chapman.

He was unstoppable. I used to hit that leaning in 3 pointer all of the time, and he could dunk taking off from outside the key.


I like Live's rating system overall though, but sometimes I have to remember that the same player in Live is completelly different then in 2k.

a guy with a 3 point shooting rating of 70 in live is a much, much better 3 pt. shooter then a guy with the same rating in 2k.

We just try to keep it realistic my man.

We don't want you guys seeing players with 90s all the time. That's reserved for the crazy good you know?

I love Live 95....how the ball would shoot out from the player before his shooting animation was done LOL...

And the Charlotte Hornets were a beast on that game, Curry FTW

Everybody was da man in 95.
I remember using Tyronne Hill just to tick off my pals. He looked just like Shaq and was just as unstopable.

Or foolish roster makers. If you know where I am going with that.

As long as we're discussing overall ratings, in the recent Live 365 Update, the overall team ratings seem to be a bit off.

One example that I can think of without looking at the game is the Wizards. They were an overall 87 and Portland was I think 76. Do these ratings mean anything? Are they even relevant?

I ask the relevancy question because I took the Wiz to Portland and got beat by 12. I was down 30 in the second half.

I would tear it up with Sprewell on Live 95...it was the first game you could pass out of dunks and lay-ups.
