Some of these ratings prove that the 2k team doesn't watch/play basketball

The ratings do need some work. Can somebody explain how D. Russell on the lakers is rated higher tha Jordan Clarkson even though Clarkson was all rookie and clearly outperformes Russell in summer league? Also they have Jordan Clarksons speed at a whopping 74!!! A 74 for speed for a point guard who is 23 and is called baby westbrook by some a 74 in speed! Im not going to get into a franchise or do mucn until updates are made on ratings and the defense needs to be toned down.

Classic team ratings have always been pretty bad. I've been advocating for the 04-05 Suns to make an appearance and now that they finally have, they got them wrong. Overall they only have an 88 on offense which is ridiculously u low and they have an 82 rating on defense which is actually much too high.

I again go to Nash. The On Ball D rating they gave him is absurd, and anyone that watched him play basketball would agree. I think someone above nailed it though: in certain instances, they (2K roster folks) inflated some ratings to get players to a certain overall, which just goes back to what I said in another thread: get rid of overall ratings. In order to satisfy the "overall rating" crowd, they in turn have players doing things in the game that they could not do on the court. Pointless IMO.

Of course it is still subjective when there doesn't exist any scale - "Hall of Fame" or not - that quantifies basketball IQ, defense, or athleticism. It comes down to the roster makers discretion and whether we believe it aligns with reality. Most times it does, but sometimes it doesn't as well.

lets go back to 2k15 for a second,

they gave Nique a 80 or 85 3pt shot in his Card in Myteam. the season that card is credited for he shot 17% from the 3 that season.

and i believe they did a similar thing for Jordan. some of 2k ratings are completely off for whatever reason.


when this was brought up on here people posted stuff like, its fanasty, it doesnt matter, its ok like nooooo. thats game breaking.this is on top of the fact that his Jumper was EASY AS HELL ,and how bad patch 4 made the game

[Smallville102001]

I tend to use the roster by the people that make the game outside of mlb the show because you have triple A, double A and single A teams and a lot of fake players but going threw this thread makes me want to use some bodies rosters lol.

let's stop with the "subjective" talk

"subjective" would be arguing who is a better defender out of jimmy butler and kawhi leonard.

steve nash being a terrible defender is a fact.

stop making excuses for 2k.

the game is great but some of these ratings are pathetic.

on what planet is Steve Nash faster than kyrie irving and jeff teague?

So somehow Nash was 2 years older, playing for a worse defensive team, and his defensive rating jumped by 19 points. Yall need to put his defense back at 65 where it belongs. Shawn Kemp has a 60 midrange jumper rating. They gave Richard Hamilton an 89 3 point rating despite shooting 24 percent from 3 They gave Pierre Jackson a 25 dunk rating and a 60 vertical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls-4PFZmKbE Hakeem Olajuwon has a 73 midrange jumpers. Compare that to some of these other big mens ratings and explain how that makes sense. I could give examples for days If you're too lazy to do accurate ratings then hire someone who knows what they're talking about.

You have to remember that this year's rating system is different from all the past 2ks. They are meant to stack up current players with "The NBA best in history." Hence the Dennis Rodman references about his 99 rebound rating.

Also showing Jackson's college footage for NBA ratings doesn't make much sense.

Nash rating doesn't make much sense either way though.
