Jason Terry rated higher than Nick Young?

Yes, and he should be. Nick Young is irrelevant and inconsistent.

When can Dirk get some respect?

Damn Lamar. I was expecting him to be rated a bit higher than that, but after last season I guess it's warranted. Hopefully he has a rebound year.

What is people's beef with Dirk's rating? I think, for once, the 2K Insider's got it right here. 85 is fair for Dirk. He's a pretty average defender and a weak rebounder for a 7 footer. I'll admit that his low offensive rebounding numbers are probably because he plays further from the basket, but you can't just be giving artificial boosts because he can shoot well.

I say this all the time: 2K has the frustrating propensity to overrate skilled offensive players in other areas of their game, just to please fans. Dirk will play like Dirk. It's the same situation with 'Melo; he doesn't deserve a 92 just because he can score... especially after last season.

Odom's rating is spot on - if he played like he did last season for his career, he wouldn't be worthy of a 65. 71 is on the money.

I'm also happy that Nick Young is low 70s.

Why would Melo be rated so much higher than Dirk?

I dont have a problem with Nick Young's rating.
But you agree Terry should be a 77?

If anything I think Terry should be around 74-75 & or they should be even...
They do the exact same thing.
Come off the bench & score.
Specifically...Nick Young can create his own shot off the dribble...he can spot up...he can dunk on people(lol)...& is more athletic.
Terry is just as inconsistent which is why he plays off the bench...
and is on the decline of his career.... no shade tho...
Im just saying...

I agree, it's pretty ridiculous. Inconsistency on the part of the Insider. Dirk is pretty accurate, though so many players this year are overrated. I chalk it up to Signature Skills. Might need confirmation on that.

Accounting for Melo's meh defense, I think 86-88ish range would be fair. I've also got an inkling 2K has overrated his rebounding.

Still no Kyrie, but hey we got Walton!

[naot2010]

As long as simulated seasons produce accurate stats it should be fine. No major jumps in shooting % is usually a problem. Or vice versa when bigs who normally shoot well over 50% end up far below

Difference is, where Jason Terry is a pretty bad defender, Nick Young is a horrendous defender. I'd say JT is the more efficient scorer, too. That said, you're right, 77 might be a bit too high.

It doesn't matter if Nick Young can dunk on people when he barely shoots 40%...

[naot2010]

If 2 guys have the same rebound rate they should get the same rating and not based on position. Players are rotating between positions more often so that shouldn't play a major factor

Luke Walton though? I need to talk to whoever is responsible for 'leaking' his overall ASAP! lol

True. Honestly, my Association stats are always F'd up one way or another. I strive for realism so it's pretty annoying. I'm always waiting on someone to fix the game for me.

It irks me seeing about 25+ players averaging 20 points or more. Sounds like a minor thing, but when everone starts demanding these huge contracts, teams can't sign them and you get quality players just sitting in free agency. Association needs some love.

[naot2010]

The only thing I play is association. Takes a lot of time adjusting tendencies and the like to get the simulation as accurate as possible. But I want my experience to be as realistic as possible.
