ReTwee-....Err, I mean "qouted", for emphasis

We've laughed about that before. How people think it's him.

It's not. Promised.

I don't get how Durant is a 95. His shooting ratings are high, but he's not really a great post scorer, great passer or great defender, both in the post and perimeter wise. He's not extremely athletic like a Rudy Gay either. I hope his ratings aren't inflated for his weak points and he plays like he does in real life. I thought his 2k12 rating of 93 was good for him.

His 3 point shooting is higher this year

His assists per game have gone up significantly

His rebounding has gone up significantly and the only person at his position that gets more is lebron and its not that much more

He's getting his points with less assists this year, maybe that had something to do with ball handling or some stat

His blocks per game are up just a little

steals per game up also

And hes kevin durant the scoring champ, so just like Kobe and Lebron they will make him a little bit better than everyone else

So that justified the boost from 94 to 95

Who is the Insider?

Whoever it is missed a lot of things this past season. I had to send him multiple tweets just to get him to change DeAndre Jordan's jersey to the correct number. He also didn't give rookies actual picture portraits in any updates...

If Durant is 95 then LeBron must be 97 or 98. Going to be scary playing the Miami Heat and OKC Thunder this year, but I will be ready. (Sigh)

Both ratings are too high, but you'd expect 2K to inflate the ratings since the players are on the cover. I know it's asking a lot, but maybe 2K will actually get the players' accessories correct for once. I love seeing Jared Jeffries have all authentic accessories, while players such as Andrew Bynum and Blake Griffin can't even get non-generic shoes or an arm sleeve. It still boggles my mind why 2K refuses to outsource these easy fixes. And don't get me started on the hot and cold spots...
