Is there any reason why we can't see the screens for players who's already had their ratings released (like we did with durant, rose, griffin, and jordan)?

84 for Stoudemire?! I see him as more of an 83.75.

Why is it year after year people still continue to overreact to numbers? Can't we at least wait 'til the game is in our hands to whine and complain?

When will people learn? overall rating doesn't mean ****. As long as they play true to their real life counterparts, what difference does that little "overall" rating matter, it's all of the other, specific, ratings that matter.

Last year Dirk was what like 85 or something? so many people I know were raging about it "wah wah wah Dirk an 85, put a championship on his back", but his overall didn't mean jack, Dirk was beast on the game if you played him like Dirk, his stats were great for making Dirk like Dirk, that's all that matters.

They should just do away with the overall rating, it doesn't mean a damn thing beyond giving people something to complain about "if this guy is an 84 my guy better be an 87" blah blah blah lol. I don't care whether a guys overall says he is 75, 85, 9001, as long as the other numbers equal a realistic representation of the player. When you're actually playing a game, what relevance does that overall number have to you? none? it's the other stats that matter. People in here talking about how Bosh needs to be better than Amare, Bosh is a better player than Amare in my opinion, but I don't give a damn who has a higher overall rating, what I care about is that Bosh plays like Bosh and Amare plays like Amare.

No offense but this thread was created to discuss their ratings. We are all feigning for the game and who does it hurt for a ratings debate/discussion to occur in a thread about ratings? Don't click the link next time if these discussions get on your nerves.

Really simple solution IMO.

I just hope they dont overrate kobe at the begging of the season cause he should be a 89 or somwhere in that area.avging 30ppg and shotting 43% from the field for a 6'7 sg is not good at all.

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

First set of ratings that I actually like. I would maybe put amare down a point or two, but thats just nit-picking. I was starting to get worried that these rookies would all be high to mid 70's (with davis at 80) and that our whole concept of ratings was just going to be elevated.

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

As soon as I saw that Amare 84 in the title I knew this thread would be full of whining and bishing. Not even gonna read all this lol. Just wait for the game guys.

2K is just predicting a bounce back year.

No offense but what was unwarranted about his reply? He can't voice his opinion like everyone else? He also makes a valid point. Moreover he never said people couldn't discuss ratings or that it got on his nerves. Its a big enough community for all of us. Just saying.

First off they already showed Kobe's rating and it's higher than 89.

And how do you feel about Deron Williams being 90+? He put up 21ppg on 40% last year...so he should be like a 81 right? :wink:

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

How is averaging 30ppg, which he didn't do anyway not good? I don't think CP3 should be a 94 though. Pre-injury Cp3, 07-08, sure. Current cp3? I think its 3 or 4 points too high. Amare/Austin Rivers are fine imo.

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

You are fooling my friend...

67 for a player that is a great scorer is not acceptable especially since Dion Waiters was a 71... Seem too low to me...

I know what he is vs. NCAA competition. Vs NBA competition he has done nothing. No such thing as underrated. Let him prove his worth.

You are the one fooling here.

Just because they haven't played yet doesn't mean they don't have skill.

Until they prove that the skill exists vs. the new level of competition the skill doesn't exist.

Okay, so your saying if (Ex.) LeBron James was coming into the league you would give him a 67 because he is unproven ?
JS .. But anyways it's going to take a while for Rivers to get use to the NBA level and he's basically going to have to change his entire game if the Hornets really want to play him at point .
I also think he is going to battle with some injuries, he drives to the hoop WAY to aggressive .

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

I think Austin River's flashy style of play and potential for large scoring outputs make people want his rating to be higher than it should. 67's about right for a rookie. I'm sure his "potential" rating's in the 80's. I went to two Duke games last year and he looked lost from a team defense standpoint and when he didn't have the ball in his hands on offense so his awareness rating's probably rather low.

Besides, if he outperforms that rating that's what roster updates are for

Is Dion Waiters really a 71? If so that's definitely too high

No I am saying that if LeBron was coming into the league and 2K rated him a 67 I wouldn't trip because he has yet to play an NBA minute for me to have supporting evidence that his skillset/level of play would carry over to the NBA Stage.

I am simply saying that people need to prove themselves before earning skills, labels, titles. I really don't see the harm in taking the conservative approach.
