Top Rated Players in NBA Live 16

[scottyp180]

I think you misread my post, I was talking about curry being tied for 4th best ratings wise, because someone disagreed with that. I tried to explain why it's not that crazy to think that as Lbj, Durant, Harden, Westbrook, Davis,Paul, Blake, and Gasol are all really elite and deserve recognition. With that said, I agree there are way too many 90s. Honestly only the players I just listed should be 90s imo.

I gotcha, i ust have misread/misinterpreted your post.. I can agree with your list of elite players. I do wonder if some of these ratings are based on expectations as well. Maybe they are expecting certain players to step their game up this year.

Honestly I think that they rely to heavily on individual stats/percentages. That's why the ratings are so high. They should look at plus minus/ Real plus minus and how people impact the game. Guys like Draymond Green impact the game so much without great stats. They also need more ratings especially for hustle, awareness, pnr defense/offense iq, catching on the run. Of course a guy like Klay Thompson will seem better than Kawhi when only looking at numbers

These ratings are definitely much higher than I anticipated. I haven't played an NBA live game since 2004 but I plan to give the demo and proAm a spin Tuesday. I've liked some things I've seen but we'll see how this game plays. Are having high ratings like this the norm in Live games?

I'm looking at this and I feel like these are Overalls based on position. Like 91 Center doesn't equal 91 SF. Seems also to me, that offense boosts overall a lot. Tho Z-Bo must have some high/equal defensive/offensive stats to be higher than say, Kevin Love.

22 players with a 90 rating is unacceptable. Yes having 22 of 450 with a 90 rating is terrible. That's elite company right there. Still looking forward to this game & will be playing the demo in a couple of days.

Top Rated Players in NBA Live 16

He's tied for 8th, and only one point of 3rd. Not to crazy to think about there are 7-9 elite players in the league who may look like the best player in basketball on any given night

These rating aren't "any given night" ratings. They're overall ratings given performance over a season and post season and prognosis going forward. Or they should be.

So basically that's nice you're the champ and MVP and we have over 100 games of your objective statistical impact. But Westbrook and Kobe cause box scores and Kobe and stuff!

And Harden and Aldridge and Gasol too! Cause they're like good am I right?

What's interesting is the other franchise has rankings almost exactly according a certain consensus you might find on more nuanced basketball forums. You might not agree with them precisely but they're at least thoughtful. The biggest issue folks are making is Kobe at 85.

These ratings align with what I would expect from casual hand waving fans.

It's not unreasonable to say all these players deserve recognition.

It IS unreasonable to say EVERY ONE of those players happen to be as good or better than the MVP and the player with the greatest objective impact, who was considered to have had the best overall performance and a top-4 at worst player even including a healthy Durant.

And I agree that Klay is overrated compared to players like Kawhi and possibly Draymond. Which enforces my point about these ratings seeming completely casual and don't reflect serious basketball analysis.

None of these guys should have a 99 period but dam a lot of them are over aged for sure.
