NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

You know why I disagree?

Cause Wade creates his own shot on a more consistent basis than LeBron. LeBron isn't a score-first player like Wade. To your point, Wade does get some production from LeBron - not all of it.

And given Wade being injured for the most part of the season and still pulling 30pt games out when necessary, he's becoming more efficient with LeBron on the court.

Not sure if you watch every Heat game, but down here, I've seen Wade play like this all throughout 2009 and the only thing that has changed is his speed.

His vertical and dunking have gone down as well. Wade can still throw 'em down, but his age and knee have reduced his ridiculous vert a little bit. Hopefully 2K understands this and adjusts Wade's dunking to a more realistic level. Wade's vertical and dunk should be reduced to the mid-80's, imo, and his speed and quickness around a 90 overall.

I look into the ratings too much, especially before the games release, considering they will constantly be changing throughout the season. Complaining that so and so should be x amount of points higher or lower isn't going to make that much of a difference gameplay wise. The addition of signature skills should also make the number rating a little less important this year. IMO as long as players are performing like themselves than I am happy.

I have a question about people who complain about ratings. If, for example, you think Kevin Durant should be a little higher than his rating (let's say 96 instead of 94) do you really think you will notice the difference when you are playing with or against Durant?

I did want to comment in Nash's rating. I'm assuming his higher rating is do to the fact that he is on a better team. Hes skills may not be improving but that doesn't mean he won't play better. He has better scorers around him which can up his assists and will also take the attention off of him giving him better scoring oppurnuties. It's like randy moss when he went to the patriots, it's not like all the sudden he had a huge improvement in skills he was just surrounded by better players which made him play better

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

There's a lot of players with comparable numbers. To say Dwyane Wade is a 92, do you really think he's 2-4 attribute points off of LeBron James? Absolutely not. Wade still is effective because of the talent LeBron has. Who is guarding Wade? The worst backcourt defender. The best of course is on LeBron. Wade is not a washed up scrub, but he's not a 92 overall, especially in this game, which has legends. Wade is maybe at best a 86-88, with Kobe being at about the same range, maybe a bit higher. There isn't many great SG in the game today, with most scorers being SF's and more and more PG's have the score mentality now. In my opinion, 2k overrates more players than they underrate, which leads to way too many stars.

Wade was playing injured last year and was still able to dominate ball games where lebron was struggling. Bron established himself as best player in the game... I think 97 is a fair rating for him.. But wade is still the 2 nd best sg in the lg... Guys like Manu harden, ray ray, k mart, and tyreke will be rated in the 80's... And wade and Kobe are head and shoulders ahead of that group...hence 90 plus ratings. Don't let injury and a conscious effort to let bron lead the way fool u into thinking wade is not WADE... First step, mid range, finishing and defense are all still there.

Tony Parker?

Re: NBA 2K13 Top 20 Players and Possible Player Ratings

He has to be the high, hes the second best point guard in the league, the stats don't lie compared to Kobe.

had too....lol

all in good fun...

As there are probably more players rated 87, I still have hope Aldridge will get this rating, imo he's better than Gasol though..

agree with all of this except that I do think comparisons matter. Durant can be 94 or 96 Idc as long as whatever he is is less than lebron but more then mello. Likewise at every position.... I know the league and if a guy like Russel Westbrook can pass as effectively as Nash or rondo I will go through a few controllers this year haha

those things might not be as heavily weighted in overall ratings..

same reason why amare is rated higher than dirk, but dirk is better in the game

Dirk is the better shooter but amare was a nightmare in the paint and dirk was like church music (soft) in the paint. Give me Williams and amare and u take Russ and dirk and let's play lol

Haha..good one..I feel u..I still think that some things are weighted differently like..westbrook has a 99 in durability..that might not show up on the court but it might boost his OVR a point higher than someone else, doesnt mean he's a point better tho
