Re: Many More NBA 2K13 Player Ratings Revealed - Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Heat and More
Ugh. I can't get over this continual Bosh disrespect. He's the third option on the best team in basketball, playing alongside two legit superstar hall-of-famers. Naturally, his numbers are going to suffer. THAT DOESN'T MEAN HIS SKILLS ARE WORSE, THOUGH. Winning should matter in ratings; it shouldn't penalize good players who play with other good players. Is 2K going to drop Dwight's rating when his numbers naturally go down this year?
Even as the 3rd option on the best team, though, Bosh had better numbers across the board than the 2nd option on a team that squeaked into the playoffs and got an 84 rating. There's no way Bosh shouldn't be rated higher Amare.
Here's their 2012 per game stats:
Bosh Amare
Pts 18.0 17.5
Reb 7.9 7.8
Asst 1.8 1.1
Fg% .487 .483
FT% .821 .765
TO 2.1 2.4
Again, that's with Bosh giving touches to two of the best players/scorers in the game and being a member of one of the top defensive teams. He was a consistent 22 pts, 10 reb performer for the Raptors. He still has those skills. It's ridiculous that he keeps getting slighted in his rating because he's a team player on a great team. Pau averaged 17 pts, 10 reb for a Laker team that lost in the 2nd round. I will grant that Pau is, overall, slightly more skilled than Bosh. Slightly. It's not a difference of 87-82, though. Bosh should be no less than an 84 and, really, should be at least an 85 when you compare him to other power forwards on teams that win much less.
I really hope 2K gets wind of these rating complaints. I have a feeling they are still making tweaks that aren't reflected in these screen shots (Manu was revealed to be an 86, afterall). So, I hope they address some of the most glaring ones: Bosh, Chandler, David West (another case of winning being penalized), Melo, etc.
