Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

[Mrleaderboards]

Tim Hardaway Jr should get a slight boost in his overall rating due to his outstanding play this year and his performance in the rising stars showcase. As a knick fan, I havent had much to rave about this year, but THJ has been quite the nice surprise this season for the Knicks.
I play strictly online quick matches and of course i run the Knickerbockers. He's my go to guy on offense straight off the bench. Instant offense if you will.

I feel like a 75 overall would be fair to boost him up to.
Also if he doesnt have this already, 2K should give him
The badge of fan favorite.

Also in consideration for timmy should be:

Dialed in
Primetime (watch ny vs cleveland or rising stars showcase for evidence)

Corner specialist
Catch and shoot
Acrobat
Deadeye

Even if he doesnt get all these improvements this year, he'll definitely get them by Next year in NBA 2K 15.

Well thats all I have for now. Tried not to be bias but he's so deserving of at least one of these improvements I've mentioned above. What do you guys think?

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

come on, everybody needs an upgrade or decrease and Tim Hardaway is nothing special. I'm mad that you put the all-star rising as an example of why he needs an upgrade.

It seriously angered you that much?

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

I think he deserves a 75 or 74 (At least by the end of the season since he's been playing pretty decently.) but 4 sig skills... makes no sense. And you can't consider NY vs Cleveland 'Primetime'.

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

Offensively I would give him a slight upgrade. Defensively he is still a pretty poor defender.

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

You're obviously biased. Seems like every Knick that plays a few good games needs an upgrade...The Knicks suck this year, nobody should get an upgrade since it would make them unrealistically in 2k good again.

Well if he got more playing time I'm sure I could bring up more examples. Also 4 signature skills isnt overkill. John wall has 7 and he isnt even rated over a 90. Ratings are overrated. The signature skills are indicative of his play style. Im not saying give this to him right away, but I believe eventually whether you agree or disagree THJ will have at least:

Deadeye
Corner specialist
Acrobat
Catch and shoot

These are not far fetched.

To the guy that said why would I use the ny vs cleveland match up as an example, I say this.

If you were on a team with carmelo anthony, jr smith
Iman shumpert and raymond felton ahead of you on mnutes and expectation of production, what little playing time is left over for you to play, wouldnt you maximize your potential whatever chance you got? Him and Dion waiters have an on going friendly rivalry going and it carried over into Rising stars game. Neither one if those guys are stars yet, but apparently when they meet up, Dion waiters brings out the competitive side of Tim Hardaway Jr. Im sure if THJ got more minutes, there would be quite a few other teams and players that THJ would come up BIG TIME FOR. He was drafted late and is more than deserving of a slight bump in overall rating and his signature skills.

Not at all sir. Im a knicks fan...but im not riding the entire team. Clearly you didnt read my post correctly because I clearly stated I wasnt biased with my team. Dont mistake the team record over the quality of the players on the team. On paper the knicks are a great team and with a roster like that, they should be a top 10 team. The sad reality is, whether its chemistry issues, bad coaching, or just not the right pieces being put together, they are an underachieving team in the east. Granted they have a losing record,, but there are a few a bright spots on the team.

Carmelo Anthony in his last 2 seasons has been playing the best basketball in his career. As such, I made a thread stating 2k should acknowledge his strides offensively, on the glass and add a sig skill here or there for him.

Tim Hardaway Jr. In my honest opinion, if he keeps up his play, he can easily win ROY. Great shooter, great knack for putting the Ball in the hole, great spot up shooter. I mean he has work to do on defense, but what rookie doesn't?

So to conclude, these arent biased opinions, just notice a good player when you see one.

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

Where are your stats to solidify your argument?

So what should 2K improve then?
Don't just say it, prove it!

He can dunk and shoot jumpers but can't play defense, rebound, or make his teammates better.

So you watched the Rising Star Challenge and now he needs a update?

This is just like saying "No disrespect" then say something disrespectful or

"I don't mean to be rude" then say some rude.

You are a Knick fan and what's wrong with being bias on your team?

Show me the attributes based of his actual statistics that warrant an upgrade.

Is this the same person that made the thread about how Melo needed an upgrade?

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

He does not deserve deadeye. That should reserved for guys like Kobe/Durant, who consistently make tough, contested jumpers. THJ is mostly a spot up guy who can put the ball on the floor if you close out, but he's not some sort of incredible tough shot maker.

Re: Tim Hardaway Jr needs an Upgrade ASAP!!!

Drops 30 points in the Rookie-Sophomore game so he needs an upgrade. Chris Bosh made two half court shots in the Shooting Stars competition, so he deserves a 95 three point rating.

Facts only.

Lol. Sig skills aren't handed out to rookies like candy after a stretch of decent games. Come on.

Lol also at a no defense, meaningless game against crappy competion being "prime time".

Same goes for The rising stars game.

Those are the epitome of not-prime-time.

Deadeye says "shots are barely affected by late arriving defenders." Maybe I'm understanding this wrong but I always thought it meant pure shooters that come off of screens who are not affected by late defenders. People like Kyle Korver, Klay Thompson or JJ Redick. To me, shot creator sounds like its for players like KD and Kobe who hit contested jumpers.
