NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #7 - Creating a Legend - Kobe Rated 94, LeBron 98

[MikeBadge]

I wish they would have done the ratings on an all time scale (maybe they believe they did) with Jordan being a 99, the likes of Magic and Bird 98s, and the top current players falling in the low 90s category. To call LeBron a 98 is kind of disrespectful to some of the greats who had far superior skills. Would rather have the current elite players -- Paul, Williams, Wade, Durant, LeBron, Rose, and Kobe (In close to that order) -- see ratings in the 90-93 range.

here is how the PG should be rated in the game:

Deron Williams 95
Derrick Rose 95
Chris Paul 94
Rajon Rondo 90
Westbrook 88

Top 5

Deron Williams is the best PG in the league, yeah we know Derrick Rose won the MVP, but I think it was because he was on a better team (the Bulls). Both should be rated the same.

never really had a problem with 2k ratings. i can't think of anyone (off the top of my head) from 2k that was either overrated or underrated. As far as I'm concerned any superstar or star in the game played quite true to himself as long as their team played appropriately. My only concern with 2k ratings is when players are pulling of dunks that they wouldn't or can't do in real life (some pg i've never seen dunk in real life can throw it down in the game).

As for the Create a Legend game mode I like the idea. Pretty much what everyone expected, my player with a current player, which could be a lot of fun with some younger players or players who's career aren't already HOF status. And I am sure everyone has a couple favorite players that they would want to take control of and determine the fate of their career. I don't know how much play time the mode will get out of me but it is definitely a nice option to have. IMO the more game modes the better.

Even if he got a 0 in clutch (rating floor is 25 btw) it wouldn't affect his overall that much. He would still be the highest rated player on the game.

You all and this overall rating talk is really frustrating.

Not true at all... you can't dunk with Anthony Carter (PG Knicks) or Daniel Gibson (PG Cavs). They just do a lay up.

I will have to try this mode out maybe with Tyler Hansbrough or Goran Dragic.

I think Deron Williams and Chris Paul edge out Rose (overall better and more efficient players). Also Curry and Nash beat out Westbrook. Again just more efficient which you need out of the PG.

Scalabrine anyone?
