Mario Chalmers should be around a 73-74, he showed that with his Finals performance. Showed fantastic defense, ability to make plays, and hitting the three with ease in huge moments. Consistency might be a problem still, but he's a very good player without a doubt.

LOL BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. So a guy who can't run the offense, and is basically a spot up three point shooter, should be in the mid 70s?

The rosters are accurate as of 1 july (see the intro), why is Yao not in the game because he retired 8 july.

Re: Players' ratings are...off???

WOWWW raptors getting snubbed again. I swear 2ksports just dislikes Canada. Derozan is a 69 and hes the best player on our team in reality. But then barbosa is a 71. Ok derozan is obviously 100% better than nate robinson who received a 74!!! This game just robs the raps everytime.

[13thjoker]

When 2K11 came out, Derozan was a 64.

I do agree that he should be rated a bit higher, but defensively, he still has a way to go to be among the Wades and Kobes defensively.

Believe me when I say this: I could pick the Raptors and drop 50ppg with Derozan with 8 minute quarters. So don't be disheartened by him being a 69.
Just look at it as an opportunity to abuse people that sleep on him.

I love Derozen too. I traded Chris Kaman and I think Al-Farouq Aminu for Demar Derozen because i loved him so much. My starting 5 was Mo Williams, Eric Gordon, Derozen, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan - had Jordan averaging 20pts 11rbds 6 blocks and the frontrunner for MIP.

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.

Man... I hate to see your rosters

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

My New Jersey Nets player ratings:

Deron Williams 95 (best PG in the game today!)
Brook Lopez 81 (just can't rebound, arguably 2nd best Center in the NBA)
Kris Humphries 79 (going to be an 85 if season started)
Anthony Morrow 66 (Morrow is a scoring machine)
Travis Outlaw 62 (Absolutely terrible, became a bench player)
Sasha Vujacic 67 (He was rated correctly)
Jordan Farmar 67 (Very good backup, he has a ring!)

Everything else looked correct, but those need correcting!

so many guys getting worked up about overall ratings when its the individual category ratings that matter most. Even more, I'd argue that the most slept on rating in 2K has always been the consistency rating, which can only be found on the 2K league pages...

youre right who cares about the overall rating number, aslong as the player plays like the real life counterpart. I already know Deron Williams is a better Point Guard, why should a number decide that. CP3 and Derrick Rose are just examples of overrated players in NBA 2K12. Deron Williams plays like he is 95, even though he is a 90.

I thought Kris deserves a 85 because he married to Kim.

Kris Kardashian deserved his own good tier rating scale. Normal numbers can calculate his rating statistics.

after reading thru alot of the post i always find it interesting how a group of ppl can sit down to watch the same nba game on tv and yet all see the same even thru different eyes...

1 think i really dislike is when ppl use that Jay-Z line: Men lie, Women lie, but numbers dont. Well heres another line: Theres lies, damned lies, and stats. meaning that while stats dont lie, ppl can manipulate stats to say whatever they want them to say. i know you guys see it on ESPN all the time. They'll say so n so player is the 1st player since so no so player to avg 28pts,7rebs,7ast to make their claims, yet another player will be avgn 30pts, 6rebs, 9ast. whats really the difference in greatness? but they manipulated the stats to say whatever agenda they wanted to get across.

lets use another ex, because it gets alot of pub every yr...Clutch!

every yr ESPN do an article on how KB24 is not clutch, every yr. and they use all these stats to show you how x # of players are really more clutch than Kobe. Now the numbers they are using are true, i mean if Kobe missed x # out of x # of shots, thats what it is. But heres what they dont tell you, they dont tell you the circumstances surrounding those shots. and im going to give some ex next.

stats guys will tell you that Melo is more "Clutch" than say Kobe. and from a purely mathmatical % stand point he is. meaning Melo may make 45 out of 100 shots in clutch situations. whereas Kobe may make 25 out of 100 shots in clutch situations. so by this purely mathmatical pov, Melo is more clutch. but again that does take into account the magitude of the game or situation. 4ex when Lakers were playing the nuggets in the playoffs every yr, who was the player hitting all the clutch shots...Kobe or Melo. in 2008 when the Nuggets had the Lakers on the ropes and primed to go to the finals...where did Melo's ability to hit all those clutch shots go? yet is was Kobe who hit big shot after big shot to pull the lakers thru. you see what im saying about how stats cant tell you the entire picture.

lets look at another ex, lets go back to 2008 Olympics, during majority of the games Lebron was clearly the best player out there on the court followed closely bu Dwade. While Kobe settled in as a defensive stopper and struggle on offense for the vast majority of the tourny...cept for 2 games. and what games where those you might ask...the only 2 games USA had a serious chance to lose. I think against Lithuania and against Spain in the title game. Yet at the same time which 2 games was Lebron a no show...you guessed it, Lithuanina and against Spain.

everyone know both Kobe and Lebron got into foul trouble in the champ game, and that in teh 1st half Dwade carried the Redeam Team, yet in the 2nd half when the game was in the balance Kobe took over and seperated himself on a team of Superstars...where was Lebron? he was nowhere to be found.

i remember late in that game with the game still up 4 grabs, a tech happened somehow and Chris Paul was going to the FT line. Kobe taps him on the shoulders and ask for the ball to shoot the FTs. without hestitation CP3 gave up the ball, Kobe sank both. Who does that? who ask for the ball from CP3? thats unheard of, CP3 like an 80+% FT shooter. the entire USA basketball community was OK with CP3 taking those shots. No other player on the team approached CP3, not Lebron, not Dwade, not Carmelo, yet Kobe walked over to him and asked for the ball. Why?

some will say Kobe wanted the glory..ok? but i see it differently. I see a convo being understood without the need for words, 1 which CP3 understood comepletely, not that he was scared tho! im just saying he understood why Kobe asked for the ball. Basically by asking for the ball Kobe was saying, if you miss these FT and we lose nomatter what else happened that may have contributed, if we lose the entire world will blame you for the lose. As the 'true best player in the world' (at the time) that is my burden to carry, not yours, so please let me have the ball. and Cp3 understood and gave up the rock.

Thats Clutch, Leadership or whatever else you wanna call it, and stats cant even begin to approach that. so while Lebron was running around telling anyone who would listen how he was the leader of the Redeam Team, when it came down to the real moments of truth he was nowhere to be found, and this is not opinion. anyone who watched those games knows what im typing is the truth. same thing happened with Miami this yr in regards to the relationship btw Lebron and Dwade...yet the media has their agendas to push and most fall 4 it.

my point to all this is that theres a difference btw hitting the clutch shots in game 48 of the reg season and hitting clutch shots in the playoffs or finals where if you dont hit that shot the season is over. stats dont take into account the pressure and magnitude of the moment.

so i dont care what the stats say, if my life was on the line, like if this dude doesnt make this shot, i die! you stat guys can give the ball to Lebron, Melo, or even Dirk (the new hot flavor). Im giving the ball to Kobe, period!

so lets please stop saying how numbers dont lie, because what are numers without ppl and we have already agreed that ppl DO lie. thanks

so i personally understand why alot of folks are somewhat annoyed by the ratings as they currently are. and if ovrs dont matter than get rid of them, irl they dont have ovrs anyways
