Besides Jordan, who'll get a 99 automatically, who do you think will get the highest ratings out of all the classic players? And I know overall ratings don't mean everything, it's just fun speculation.

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
I'm just thinking there will be no other player besides Michael Jordan who gets or deserves a 99.

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
99 is just too high for any player even fo MJ imo. About the rest I dunno, gotta wait and see. Prime Pip was 92 in 2K11, prime Bird was 96 I believe, I think Malone was also 92 or something. Players like Magic, young Kareem, Hakeem, Bird, Shaq, Big O among others will have the best ratings next to Jordan, I believe.Comment

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
Michael Jordan should be the only player rated 99. I wouldn't be against the fact if Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were rated 99 as well.Comment

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
If we were getting a prime Wilt or Oscar, they could be, but they're not. Hakeem and Magic are my best guesses behind Jordan.Link to my NBA 2K13 2010-2011 Roster:

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
An in his prime(2nd NBA season) Oscar Robertson would the truest 99 OVR player in history of video games. I understand it was different era of basketball but the guy averaged a triple double for an entire season. 30.8 ppg, 12.5 reb, 11.4 ast, those would still be close to the league lead in any individual category in the NBA today, simply astounding."You come at the King, you best not miss..."Comment

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
I thought one of the insights said the Big O was the only other player to receive a 99. Or that he was "the standard all other legends were measured against" or something along those lines.
If anyone will get the vaunted 99 ovr I think it's a safe bet that it'll be the man who averaged a triple-double."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
Hakeem could possibly be a 99 at his position, or at least a 95. What was the hole in his game? He scored, is the all time leader in blocks, was athletic and rebounded, and was a solid passer for a big-man.Comment

Re: Highest player ratings in greatest mode
Who was able to guard Shaq one-on-one? Who was able to guard Hakeem one-on-one? Who was able to guard Duncan one-on-one?
What I mean is that when a player becomes a really good post-scorer, often the only defense against them is to double them or foul them.
I didn't really become aware of basketball until 2000 (When Cuban bought the Mavs), so most of what I know if from word of mouth. Apologies for any giant holes in my basketball knowledge.Comment
