NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Maybe because he's the best rebounder, best shot blocker and most athletic big man in the NBA. On top of all that, he can average 20 points a night on a very high percentage. Even with his offensive deficiencies, Dwight is still the best big man in the NBA. Dwight and Timmy should have their rating flip-flopped and Gasol should have his dropped by a point or two.

Also, no way does aging Kobe Bryant deserve to be tied with LeBron James. Nor should Wade be rated at a 97. LeBron is the most complete player in the league and his overall rating reflects that, but Wade and Bryant aren't in his class.

Gasol is better than Dwight and Duncan. He has a midrange game and is a FAR better passer, FT shooter than Howard.

You are kidding right? Lebron has to get a much more consistent jumper and a post game to be considered a more complete player than Kobe.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Why should Dwight be in the 90's? because he is a no show in the playoffs? or because he's the most athletic big man ever and yet he doesn't have one post move, let alone a short 7-10 jumper.

Yes I agree Wall is high, but Wall is going to be really good, he shouldn't be lower than say a 77. Curry is only an offensive player, he can't guard the elite PG's in the league. While will be able too with his size, speed and athleticism ( and his overall hunger on the defensive side)

My biggest gripe is chris bosh, how the heck is he an 87? he's not better than dirk and he's actually a worst post defender than dirk. He's got a good midrange game and an ok post up game. With Bron and Wade, they don't need his midrange game. Bosh Should be the 83 and guys like Dirk and David Lee should be the 85-87's.

And how are bron and Wade rated the same as kobe? they arent better. they are younger but as players they are not a better player right now. Attaching Overalls really kills all this. Too bad people have to rely on them. You can run your association with never looking at Overalls and build teams that fit with each other

Bosh is better than Dirk 15 feet in, which is gonna matter more at PF. He's more athletic, a better rebounder, and I'd say they're probably equal as post defenders, and equal passers. Dirk only shooting 48.1% from the field hurts his ratings I'm sure.
Lebron was the best player in the NBA last year by far. There's very little argument for Kobe there. More boards, more assists, more points,shot better from the field, better off ball defender, and a comparable on-ball defender (Kobe still has him by a tad, though he's fallen off there too).
D-Wade vs Kobe is alot closer. Wade shot better from the field (especially at the rim), produced more assists, steals (.2 more), and blocks. I see him as a notch below Kobe as an on ball defender. Kobe rebounded more (.6 more), but he also played 2 more minutes per game than Wade. Kobe and Wade should be pretty much equal as far as overall ratings go.

Kobe should be a 98 overall, hes going to go down as a top 10 in NBA history.

LeBron has a better jumper and finishing ability than Kobe IMO.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

JaVale is a bum and he's been rated accurately. 7'0" and can dunk

7ft athletic, can run the floor, gets a ton of blocks whenever he plays, rebounds very well, and has a suprisingly good offensive game.

He's far from a bum especially when you consider he's not even 25.

[Berdadeiro]

Exactly....lol

I would love for it to be without overall. Franchise Mode would be handled totally different in regards to going after players that fit your gameplay or team system.

that's right. i just don't care the overall rating, i like sharpshooters and i build my team that way.

For example i rather prefer ersan yliasova (i don't know how to write right, god you must curse your parents dude), than a 70 or higher pf that can only dunk.

So i liked the rating, agree that wall is to high because how many players were great in college but didn't perform as expected on nba??? okafor for example, or the other side, granger was a good college player but would thought i was getting the current level he is playing?

I'm european and hate fiba basketball, i just rather see clippers vs t'wolves than euroleague final...well ricky rubio higlight are nice, but i must agree that in general the non-american players are hurt in the game. Not the overall grade, but in the stats at least on 2k10, because at the pf and center position height isn't everything, there are players on the nba playing just for their height and tech??? well that's not important if born at the US!!!
Being a Center rebounding is very important but everybody can rebound on a team if they want, is just a matter of effort...but ao many centers have the finesse of Bargani for example???

So give foreigners a little more respect when you give their stats.

Uh, Lebron is a better rebounder, defender, passer and is far more efficient offensively than Bryant. Bryant is still great, but LeBron is the best player in the entire league.

Gasol is better than Dwight and Duncan. He has a midrange game and is a FAR better passer, FT shooter than Howard

Wrong. Gasol is equally to an aging Duncan, but worse than Dwight Howard. Gasol has such great offensive skill, but has managed to never score even 20 points a night. Dwight, with his "limited" skills, has done it twice. Gasol is only better at passing and shooting FT's, but Dwight is a better scorer, rebounder and he is the best defender in the NBA.

The L.A. hype is in full effect I see. They are the two best players on the best team in the NBA, not the best swingman/overall player and bigman in the entire league. People seem to not be able to distinguish between those two points.

No. Kobe definitely has the better jumper, especially from 10-15 out (Kobe 49.7% vs. LBJ 32.2%). Lebron closed the gap from 16-23 feet out though (Kobe 41% vs LBJ 40%), and was a better 3 point shooter than Kobe last year.

[RayRay34]

Brandon Jennings rated lower that Maggette???? REALLY??

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

I do unstand that arguement,......BUT....Rose outside game is light years ahead of Rondo. Not to mention that Rose carried the Bulls last season. Their was a span of about 6 or 7 games last year where he was flat out dominant against Western Conference teams. I 've never seen Rondo not once carry the Celtics When the rest of the team was flat. We have even mentioned that Rondo is playing with 3 Hall of Famers.

Yeah man I see your point but that is the thing Rondo is a pass first point guard. Rose is more of a scoring point. They have different strengths and weaknesses. I can say the same thing that Rondo is far ahead in Rose from a defense of standpoint he should get you more possessions for easy scores. Another thing for Rondo being such a bad outside shooter his inside shooting is great which means he is getting plenty of points in the paint. He led all point guards in FG% Steve Nash was second.

That's the most important type of jumpshot. LeBron really has no business settling for midrange jumpers at his size and skill level.

Ok, I'm going to bow out before this gets out of hand (Kobe vs. Bron). I don't see any problem with the ratings.
