NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

[ccjj1010]

Im seeing guys like Tim Thomas and Earl boykins with better mid range jumpshots. Embarrassing. Kobe should take his rights away from this game immediately and let 2K put in a roster player.

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

Ok I'm done! Josh Smith's 3 point rating is higher than Joe Johnson. That's how you know 2k didn't give a **** about the ratings this year.

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

Kobe has a 99 layup(wtf?), a 99 close and only a 78 medium? I'm not one to whine about overalls, but these 3 stats are off...You could argue that not even prime Kobe should have a 99 layup. Med should be at least 85 imo, and I would personally make it 90 if in charge of ratings. We are talking about the guy that routinely drains jumpers right in people's faces while being doubled teamed on a daily basis.

The problem with using field goal percentage as a component of coming up with these ratings is that it doesn't ALWAYS reflect ability.

Kobe's mid range FG% is probably much lower than someone of equal mid range shooting ability because of his shot selection.

FG% not always =/= ability, because shot selection is a part of it. You could shoot the ball like Ray Allen but it doesn't matter if you have poor shot selection.

Im real upset, you should see some other people with similar ratings. Will Bynum (pistons) 78 overall hmmmm..

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

What excuse am I making? I'm complaining about ratings, I play online, so I have to play with these rosters at times.

This is a ratings discussion thread isn't it?

You're mentioning Kobe taking bad/difficult shots, like J.R. SMith doesn't take bad/difficult shots.

Kobe takes bad/difficult shots because he's the only perimeter scorer on the Lakers, and IDK, the best player of this generation lol.

You're my friend but I gotta disagree!

(in case you were wondering J.R. Smith shot 48% from range)

There are some ratings for a few role players ( Gooden shot 42% from range) so he should probably be closer to 81 based on anequated conversions) I think one of the big discrepancies is how defense affects these shots, you have a 99 in all shooting skills, good defense will pretty much beat you all the time (believe me playing along against guys with maxed out shooting, perfect contests made the shot fall 20% of the time).

Also I think best player of our generation is either Duncan or Shaq.

I think that factored into his rating. There is only so much you can do with defense and fine-tuning his tendencies until you just have to lower the rating to reflect his bad shot selection.

I would also look at his Low Post shot before we jump to conclusions. He's a beast from the low post, so they probably made it up with that. You can literally abuse Kobe's mid-range/post game because most shooting guards have like...50's in Low Post D. So that should even it out.

Also...I remember at one point JR Smith had a 90 in 3pt because he shot 40% from 3 (taking at least over 500 I think) despite his horrible, absolutely horrible shot selection.

Going back to Kobe, I also think he has inherited AI syndrome, where he shoots better if he's being guarded by someone rather than having a wide open look.

[ccjj1010]

Not my fault he takes bad/difficult shots. Seriously u swear you guys find an excuse for everything. I'm almost ready to give up.

What planet are you on that deshawn stevenson has the same midrange skill as Kobe Bryant. Both 78. Ur sick homie

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

The only thing that puzzles me really is Zach Randolph having a 69 in Mid Range. 69. Unless the stats tell me otherwise...the eye test tells me Zach is lethal from that range. Again, evidence to the contrary (Of Zach being a good mid-range shooter) would be nice.

I also believe it was either Shaq or Kobe really. Timmy D is in the discussion...yet his game turned off a LOT of casual fans (His game was so sound fundementally that I started calling him the "Big Bore" ). So he may not be accepted as one of the best by the majority unless they're spoon-fed by the media.

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

To any1 that thinks Kobe's 78 mid range rating is right, u should be imprisoned for life. Im sorry. Kobe should be as close as Dirk in mid range. Kobe def. doesnt deserve a 99 layup either. I think people are forgeting that Kobe is just a couple hundred points away from being top 5 scoring all time.

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

Zach Randolph shot 37% from mid range DukeC.

[GoPistons]

Why is Jr Smith ratings higher than Ben Gordon's? Even off a bad year Ben Gordon stats where better in every area then JR Smith's last year..I think I'm going to stick with 2k11 until these people get there stats right

Re: NBA 2K12 Player Ratings Revealed, Including All Free Agents

first thing i want to say is that im angry that i will have to release all the 2011 freeagents manually, caus after seeing the vids, jason richardson is a magic player still, as well as battier being a grizzlie. on top of all this, 2k12 association mode doesnt start during the offseason, rather it starts during the regular season, so i dont kno how the heck jason richardson can be a magic player, while he has no contract with them for the coming season, but they make dwight howard have his actual contract meaning he will be a 2012 free agent

who the hell made this game???? does that make any sense?

anyways, what i think the ratings should have been:

Wade 96

Lebron 96

Kobe 94

Howard 93

Paul 93

Durant 92

Rose 92

Williams 91

Dirk 90

Carmelo 91

Stoudemire 89

Gasol 86

Bost 83

Boozer 78

Deng 79

Noah 78

Gibson 74

Asik 65

Billups 77

Lawson 77

Felton 76

Aldiridge 83

Lopez 83

Griffin 86

Gordon 83

Pierce 82

Garnett 81

Allen 80

Marc Gasol 79

Randolph 84

Gay 86

Igoudalla 84
