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

[rosque]

No, I don't hate him. He is one of the best talents the game has ever seen. He deserved MVP, and all that shi*. But MJ was right(actually IS right). Nowadays NBA rookies(well, obviously not this year) and sophmores gets so much hype and gets all the perks that MJ, Pippen, Shaq, Kidd, Nowitzki etc etc had to earn even before they steeped on the court. I mean it's insane. You HAVE to earn the perks that they have/had. LBJ earned it. Just take a look at stats. BUT, the missing link to him is ring. That is what it takes for him to be considered one of greatest. He is close. And I guarantee that next season he WILL win it.

Does anybody know if there will be Hall of Fame speeches for the current NBA players like they're doing for the My Player mode??

I'm not usually one to make a big deal out of ratings, but the fact that LeBron is 98, let alone above 88, is sickening. Did 2K watch basketball last year? I bet Dirk is like an 82. LeBron is going to be rated higher than some of the legends in the game, ugh.

I think great players should be 80-90 and amazing players should be 90-100.. Now, in that matter, lebron would be like a 87, 88

This topic needs to be locked too much personal opinion and not enough subjective viewpoints.

This mode could be really good if they let us use our own rosters,sliders,and draft classes.

now i will say that as much as i dislike lebron he does deserve a very high rating BUT 98 is a bit ridiculous like come on now thats much too close to jordan . a 96 would be perfectly acceptable and btw people kobe is the best player in the NBA so he should definitely have a 95-96 . one off year does not mean the end . kobe's minutes were down and he was hurt all last year and still managed to average 25.2 ppg without any practice at the age of 32 . but now he has had surgery and will be ready for next season whenever it starts so just wait and see what happens .
