Does 2k hate the Raptors???

[holymoly]

Their entire starting lineup is below 70 with Barbosa being the best player with a rating of 71. I mean he wasn't even the best player on the team last season...DeRozan and Bargnani were. I know the team sucks but how in the world is DeMar a 69 in 2k12 when he was a 71 in 2k11? Did he manage to get worse over the past 3 months or something??? Joey freaking Graham has a higher rating for god sakes. 2k needs to stop overlooking some of their players just cause they play for the raptors. It's not fair to the players and to the fans...DeRozan even complained about it on his twitter:

@DeMar_DeRozan
DeMar DeRozan
Damn @2ksports I only get a 69 rating? That hurts!

Yea the TEAM sucks but they still have some good young players like DeMar and even Bargnani. 69 and 68 is just brutal for both of those players. I'm not saying they are stars or anything but they most certainly aren't the scrubs that 2k portrays them to be.

OS would be a better place if everyone who makes any complaint based solely on OVR received a temp ban and could only post again after reading a FAQ telling them why OVR doesn't really mean ****.


...BTW the Raptors suck anyway.

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

yea raptors suck, but i think demar should be around 72-73, bargarni should be around there too, and barbosa is NOT the best player on the team, o well, 2k rating sucks big time ususally, the ratings are worse than the raptors in the nba

A bit harsh if you ask me, but it'll kill that chosen ignorance that people insist on clinging too.

2k probably doesn't hate the Raptors as much as they love focusing on realism.

You can rest assured that DD and AB are rated well in the things they excel at.

But to re-iterate, OVR doesn't mean much.

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

Honestly, I think 2k scaled back their ratings to accommodate all of the retro superstars. look at durant, his rating went down too, i'm pretty sure, as did rondo's among others. I'd agree that based on 2k11's scale, derozan ought to be around a 75 for 2k12

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

Raptors extincted didn't they? Like years, and years and years ago?

They thought it was the ice age that wiped em out, I think it was just bad draft picks over the years.

but don't quote me :shrugs:

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

The Raptor's aren't that good....

DeRozan is a good offensive player and need to focus on his defense!

He is a one way player: good close, mid, and dunk but that is it. His 3 is below avg, plus he is super athletic but can't play D or get any steals or blks.

He is just as athletic as D-Wade but Wade avg more stls, blks, and is a much better defender...

DeRozan said it hurt so he need to work on his D game.

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

No. 2K doesn't hate the Raptors.....

God hates the Raptors

Seriously though ratings doesn't mean your DeRozan, Bargani can't score just means they're one dimensional players who only average what numbers? on such a bad squad

Hey if they improve I'm sure 2K will fix if not do it manually or take them in association and do something about it!

Re: Does 2k hate the Raptors???

Doesn't matter to me. I did pretty well on 2K11 running a lineup of Bayless/DeRozan/JJ/Amir/Bargnani online. If I'm able to use Bargnani the same way that he plays in real life, then the overall won't matter.

Is he a good player on a bad team or the best player on a bad team?

Good players make their teams better. Last time I checked the Raptors are still bad.

I'm sure 2k showed him some love. Like others have stated, stop taking the overall as the 'tell all' sign. This isn't that other developer.

Good players alone can not make a team better. Just because a player is on a bad team does not mean they themselves suck...this is a TEAM game after all. What about players like Kevin Love, John Wall or Tyreke Evans? They are all on losing teams but does that mean they suck? Ofcourse not. I'm not saying DeRozan deserves a star rating by any means but he is a young up and coming player that deserves to be atleast in the low-mid 70's. His defense and 3 point shot needs work but he is more than just a dunker. He's shown a VERY reliable mid range game and if he can get that 3 point shot down then he has a chance of becoming a very good player.
