Durant is 91 because of an injury hit. He'll be adjusted quickly if he returns to form. This is actually welcome to see.

I'm not buying what they selling with that. As I mentioned a few times, why would Durant be the only one to receive this injury hit? What about Melo and Matthews who are both coming off of injuries of similar or greater severity? Melo took no ratings hit compared to last season and Matthews in fact, is rated higher (81 vs 78 in 2K15) which is just generally odd.

Because there seems to be a rule that you can drop a star but not beyond 88 in one year and not beyond 84 in two regardless of how terrible they've played. Heh.

Matthews is 81? I thought he was a 78-79.

He wasn't that good last year compared to the year before with Wash

KD foot injury worse than Melos , had work on it twice . Melo was still producing while playing hurt so this is about the rating he should be at honesty.

Kobe took a hit as well

only players I feel should have been lowered because of injury is rose and kobe honestly. Both came back and played far worse than prior. KD and melo on the other hand, while one payed 27 and the other 40, were still pretty darn good. KD was at about 25 7 and 4 on 51 percent and 40 on 3s. We dont know how he will recover but i would bet my bottom dollar he will be back to form quickly. Melo hurt his knee the second game of the year and still played 40 games. he averaged 24 7 and 3(his career numbers are 25, 7 and 3) on 44 and 35 percent. Expecting him to be worse when healthy doesn't make much sense to me. In the end, All of them have a chance to build their rating back up since 2k gave rose and kobe a chance the first half of the season last year.

Yet, the injury hit only applies to him and not Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose or Tony Parker. Durant still put up impressive numbers even in his limited time last season. No reason why anything should come down but his durability and maybe his athletic attributes (speed, quickness & vertical).

I think 91 is fair assesment for KD even when healthy. Not that great defender, ball handler nor playmaker to warrant 94.
