Do you not understand the rating system?
They are not comparing MJ to LeBron they are giving LeBron the attributes he deserves which turn out to be a 99.

Yeah I do I was just saying that that argument has been made.

And if you think 2K doesn't use one player's rating to find another's then yeah.....For example if Blake Griffin is an 87 and Kevin love is considered the best PF in the NBA then obviously Love would have to be higher

OMG totally agree with rating of the top 3 point guards, but I don't think we can look at overalls at face value. I think certain positions have specific skills that boost the rating more than others. For example passing is key for PG, but obviously Derrick Rose lacks in that department compared to CP3 and DWill. Knowing that DRose is hanging close to them despite this fact shows how much of a beast Rose is in this game.

A good example is Dirk always being rated in mid 80s despite being the best PF in the NBA for past few years (has Love passed him?). He has plenty un-PowerForward like skills that make him a great player but not necessarily the prototypical PF that determines overall rating.

2k fever sure is spreading early this year

Amare went up by 1 and had a down year. His jumper was off most of the season. I actually thought he would be somewhere in the low 80's 81, 82. There is no way Amare can be rated higher than Aldridge who I think is the best comparison. Similar jump shooting PF's that don't rebound that well.

Austin Rivers gets a 67...can't argue with that. Personally I think it's pretty accurate for his PG ability, the guys isn't good defensively and he isn't a paser by any means truthfully and being that Hornets will probably run him at PG because of Gordan being the starting SG I think 2k nailed it for him

So Isiah Thomas would be at least 95 and Magic Johnson would be like 97.

Really curious where they put Westbrook in all this.

I feel 2k will give him a 90 just cause, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him anywhere from 88-92.

It's interesting who's ratings they've chosen to reveal. There's been 2 Knicks, 2 Clippers, 2 Kings and 2 Hornets, yet several teams have not had a single player's rating released, including not a single player from one of the Texas teams. I'm not even from Texas, but that hurts.

Westbrook will be at least a 91. No matter what you think of him as a point guard, he's just too athletic and talented, with skills in every category.

Re: NBA 2K13 Ratings: Austin Rivers - 67, Amare Stoudemire - 84, Chris Paul - 94

Austin feels about right. However, if Dion Waiters gets a 71 for doing the exact same things Austin does...what does Dion have physically over Austin exactly? They both play terrible defense, so that throws that out....

Puzzling.

you said it yourself what he does better than austin...

hes a much more physical player than austin albeit they play different positions.

Don't worry, Aldridge will have him easily beat with at least an 86. I wouldn't be surprised with an 87 or 88, either.

I'm interested to see what Bosh gets, though. His stats suffer playing with 2 of the best players in the game, but 2K needs to look beyond stats and realize that he's still a great player who should be rated higher than Amare with at least an 85. Hopefully, an 86.

Re: NBA 2K13 Ratings: Austin Rivers - 67, Amare Stoudemire - 84, Chris Paul - 94

Not bad. I hope Rivers got great handles, and good ability to shoot off the dribble. BUT if the 2k insider did his job he should give Rivers a horrible mid range rating. I think he only made 1 mid range jumpshot during last season...

The real puzzling rookie rating is Barnes. There seems to be too much differential between him, Waiters and Rivers. 73 or 74 overall seems more in line for a player that underachieved and couldn't create his own shot in college.

Re: NBA 2K13 Ratings: Austin Rivers - 67, Amare Stoudemire - 84, Chris Paul - 94

No, I am asking what is the point of saying, "He should be 1 point lower." What is 1 point? How is that really a difference.

Who are you...? The 2k insider...?
If its just one point and doesn't matter.... Why even comment on it...? I was just saying his rating was okay, maybe 1 freaking point too high... Geez....
