Re: Taking a Look at NBA 2K18's Player Ratings So Far

I believe 2 seasons ago he was even ranked as the best defender on GS's roster, with passing stats that made him comparable to Magic. Just so he could stay up around a a 98 or whatever they wanted him at.

If you adjust his ratings accordingly he usually winds up around the lower 90's, which obviously doesn't represent a two time MVP level player so 2K boosts other aspects of his ratings. I don't care much for what a player's overall rating is, so I usually try to go through and adjust a lot of guys.

He's at a disadvantage because as a point guard guys who have better athletic attributes and passing attributes, like Westbrook and Wall, are going to have higher overalls even if they aren't necessarily better players. 2K tries to balance that rather than just not worry about what the rating shows, or tweak their own formula to value his shooting more. I'm just glad we can make our own changes.

1000 times yes to this post.

Honestly, I cry every single time when I see a thread where some guys arguing about someoneīs Overall Rating.

I donīt give a **** if Curry is rated 96 or 85.
All I want is him being the best 3Pt Shooter in the game, have great handles, being a decent Playmaker and an below average defender or average defender at best and I want him to take those crazy 3īs.

And I couldnīt care less if Westbrook is a 98 or a 84.
All I want is him to being that athletic freak the he is, that is nearly impossible to keep away from the basket.
And I want him to have his flaws, like being an average defender at best or taking too many 3īs (accurate Tendencies are as important as Ratings are).

And the same goes for every Player in the League.
I just want them to play like themselves and I want to really feel a difference when having a guy like LeBron on the team, a guy that transforms a decent team into a contender.

Trust me guys, if 2K would take out the Overalls or atleast make them hidden, so that there are no more unnecessary discussions about those damn Overalls, this would be a better game!!
Sadly, we all know that will never happen.
