NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

The reason Dirk Nowitski has a lower overall rating is because he plays like a SF. He is listed as a PF but he is unathletic, doesn't play much defense, and doesn't rebound the ball that great as of late. His skills are more like a small forward and that is the reason he has a low rating as a power forward.

Brandon Jennings got ripped again & no disrespect to Stephen Curry but Brandon Jennings can score better than Curry and pass better! He is also one of the main reasons the Bucks are going to win the Lebronless Central division this year. Stephen curry no doubt proved himself as a player this year, but Brandon Jennings is the better player no doubt. I'm sort of anxious to see how NBA Elite went about player ratings!

LMAO.... BJ shot 37.1 from the fieild

97....I'm not calling Durant "hype". But guys he hasn't brought any defense yet.



It would even put more fire under the table if we didn't have overall ratings could you imagine. Instead of seeing the players rating you would see the players for how they played. It would cut a lot of the talk about people cheese teams like the heat.

Nobody should be rated 97 anyway...that's too high and KD is a great scorer, but he plays no Defense and he's 6'11 and only averages 6 boards a game. Fair passer...decent ball handler.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Dirk is not a great rebounding PF. So if anything, his rebounding numbers/ratings will not help his overall by much.

Playoff numbers are not factored into overall ratings and attributes.

Dirk isn't high in many qualities that make a PF rated high.
Strength
Low Post Def
Def Aware
Rebounding
Blocks

So why is it that you expect Dirk Nowitski to have a high overall rating as a power forward.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

I think that's way too much of a stretch. He was good last year, really good. But that's it. No way did that one season vault him into one of the all-time great college basketball point guards. I'll just give you one example, though I know many here could give more: Oscar Robertson's three-year career at Cincy: 33.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 7.1 assists.

I know you're not comparing him to the Big O. I just don't want people people thinking that what Wall did was all-time. Wall's numbers by the way: 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds.

I rest my case. If you have to go back to the 50s to find a PG with a substantially better freshman season then I have no problem calling Wall and alltime great.

WTF?! Rondo 87 and Rose 85.......lmao......Rose>Rondo

Rondo and Rose are very close 85, to 87 is not much of a difference.

Rondo has advantages on the defensive end that Rose doesn't have. I know yall played that demo Rondo is uber aggressive on defense and got 2.3 steals per game last year. I mean the guy is 1st team all defense in the NBA last year and he was on the second team the year before last. He led the league in steals, 4th in assists as well so I say his passing ratings should be better than Rose. So his awareness is probably better Rebounding Rondo is a better rebounder not just defense but offense. Neither are great perimeter shooters Rose is slightly better than Rondo but he isn't great from the perimeter. Rose is slightly better than Rondo from the freethrow line but he isn't great.

Rose advantage to me is his athleticism so his dunk rating would be higher. So I see why Rondo get the edge.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

i don't get what all the crying is about jennings. dude can't shoot period.

that alone is going to hurt him in the ratings. he's flashy, super streaky and he's not a good defender be happy with the rating he has.

most of the ratings are fine but some need to be tweaked a little.

the only one that is 10000000% off is the one for kleiza lmao. He should be in the high 60s at least.

some of the ratings that need to be tweaked are :
- CP3 is rated too high. He and DWill should have the same rating. There is a reason why 50% of people think CP3 is better and the other 50% think deron is
- Dirk is rated too low, only needs 1 or 2 more points though
- There is no explanation you can give me as to why Wall would be a 81 coming out of the box. Let him show that he can actually play in the nba before you put him in the 80s. That should be standard for all rookies. IMO he should be 78 at the max.
- Mgee, though raw is good enough to be in the low 60s.
- And finally tony parker. Dude has been injured but he's not a 78. no way. Gotta be in the 80s as well. If you going to dock him for his injuries do the same with Paul.

I think playoff numbers are part of it. How can you explain Rondo being an 87. Granted, he had a really good year last season, but his playoff push really put him on the map for the casual basketball fan. If he didn't have that performance, I think he would've been closer to an 84.

Durant had a good year defensively. Better than Melo.

[CJBEeZy]

Not really feeling these ratings....Drose should be atleast 88 or 90 and Noah gotta be an 80, John Wall should be in the 70's by far and where is Dwights 91.

I agree 100% Dirk can score but it is usually from the perimeter a lot. Doesn't have many post moves. Basically he is a small forward in a power forward body.

I didn't know that PF's were graded by these qualities...lol

He averages 8.5 rebounds for his career. Amare average 8.9...so does Gasol
Amare's an 86 and Gasol's an 89. None of the 3 defend or block shots well.

Oh and sorry...NBA doesn't have a stat/career category for strength...

Jr,

Playoff influence can be factored into certain ratings, but I don't think 2K is looking at playoff averages between Duncan and Dirk Nowitski do determine overall ratings. Those are two established star players, they know what those guys can do.

Rondo is different because he is still an up and coming talent, so looking at his success in the playoffs is a little more acceptable and necessary.

I rest my case. If you have to go back to the 50s to find a PG with a substantially better freshman season then I have no problem calling Wall and alltime great.

You want me to continue?

Magic Johnson CAREER at MSU: 17.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists. Not ONE year.

Penny Hardaway CAREER at Memphis State: 20 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists.

You're talking about ALL-TIME greats? REALLY?
