NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

[davidrc517]

ahhh... yes he is...lol A totally different game being played out in the FIBA. Where he probably faced more zones than he has in his whole NBA career. Yea I can see he was a different player....SMH

So Eric Gordon is not as good a shooter in the NBA as he was in FIBA? Am I missing something? He barely slashed in FIBA bc of zone but that's an additional aspect of his game in the NBA. He's a great shooter, a strong slasher, and a solid defender. He should be higher than 74, period.

Why do you guy equal this with power rankings? This is just video game skill points. Face it, some of our beloved players lack big time in some areas. If it wont show on court it wont matter (if they play like they do IRL).

Decent ratings. My problems are with Wall being rated higher than a rookie Jordan??? Also, I think Noah is rated too low. The Bulls are refusing to trade him for your "93" rated Anthony, yet he is somehow a 73??? Well, as long as Noah plays like Noah, with stingy defense, and dominating the boards, it should be ok.

Now, to all of you doubting Chris Paul. The only gripe anyone can have about him, and the only legitimate reason for ranking him lower than D Williams, is the fact that he can't stay healthy. But when he is healthy, he is a dominating player. We all seem to have forgotten this, but in '09, he was considered the second best player in the league, getting a lot of MVP talk. 95 is right on point for him.

Kleiza a 55?? Come on now 2K! He was one of the better players at the worlds. He can't be the lowest rated starting five from that list. My opinion of course!

Noah should at least be a 75 or 77.

Dirk is a perennial all-nba first team so according to that scale should be between 90-94.

And to whoever said it's not FIBA 2k11, that's pretty obvious. But that doesn't mean Eric Gordon is a different player internationally than when he's playing in the NBA.

Dirk made the all-nba second team in the 2009-2010 season...... But.....HE SUCK ON DEFENSE still....So.. 83 is just right for your Dirk Nowitzki... 2k has got it right

You do know the 3 point is closer in the FIBA than in the NBA. I think about 5-6 feet short.

okay, THIS is a very good point. Hopefully it has something to do with the position

[dwm20000]

I didnt read all of these but is DeMarcus Cousins really gonna come off the bench behind Dalembert, who is rated a 70.

This is not FIBA 2k11 its NBA 2k11. I don't care how good a player was at FIBA. The rules are different the talent is different. Also, the ratings aren't wrong especially when your best argument begins with "I feel like....."

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Sorry but Kevin Durant > Carmelo Anthony... the 91 and 93 respective ratings need to be reversed. And Brandon Jennings = way underrated, while Wall = way overrated

Im sorry but all you guys saying that Brandon Jennings deserves at least an 80 are crazy. The guy scored 55 in his third game and did absolutely nothing afterwards. His Shooting Percentage sucks, his decision making sucks, he has a lot potential though but to say he deserves an 80 RIGHT NOW is blashphemy.

You guys do realize that players are rated on much more than their offensive and defensive skiils right? Athleticism, Basketball IQ are other things being rated in aswell

So Rondo I believe does deserve more than Rose. Sure Rose has the scoring and more athleticism over Rondo but Rondo's decision making, basketball IQ, passing skills and Defense are all much better than Derrick's at this point. Plus he has a ring.

For all those with the Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan comparisons .. c'mon. If you really know basketball - Tim 9even last season) is a better overall ball player than Dwight. Dwight's offensive awareness alone would suck down his average -- but his dunks and blocks are likely still 99. So you figure
Dwight 99 (dunks)+99 (blocks)+ 60 (offensive awareness) = 86 (rounded)
vs Tim 83 (dunks) + 87 (blocks) + 94 (offensive awareness) = 88
-------
Please dont obscure my point by focusing on the specific numbers .. just understand the logic.
Same goes with a lot of the other ratings .. your debates will still be there .. but understand that this is a critical factor when looking at differences of 1-2 points. Specialists will generally have lower overall numbers .. fyi. Dwight is a definitely a specialist if I ever saw one.
Young bucks on here .. keep reading man -- it'll get your bball IQ up. This stuff even helps on the real courts.

Darren Collison is an 80 while Marcus Thornton is 69?

C'mon nah.

it's 3 feet 3 inches shorter (at the longest point)

So that difference in distance makes Eric Gordon less of a player in the NBA? Ok, gotcha. That's a really good reason to downgrade a person. I guess that makes Steph Curry and Chauncey less good shooters too.
