Kevin Durant Rated 95, Blake Griffin Rated 87 in NBA 2K13

[TerryP]

I didn't catch the live stream interview. Were the ratings for KD & BG all that came from it? If so, unbelievable.

ok Lebron has to be a 99 this year just so everyone knows hes the only current NBA god.

Wade will be a 95
Kobe is gonna be a 94

As for Blake that seems about right I find him extremely overrated

They're really isn't much seperation from the two of them. Kevin is better outside shooter, but Griffin is more efficient, scores at a higher percentage and can finish inside. Love is a better rebounder, but Griffin is a better passer and ball-handler. Neither player defends well nor has a postgame. I'd give a slight ratings edge to Love, but Griffin is right behind him.

Durant's rating is pretty good, but his defense isn't at an elite level yet. I'm scared to see Westbrook, Bryant and Wade's respective individual and overall ratings.

For a person who can't play defense all that well, 95 is pretty high --are they condensing their ratings or something? 85-87 is pretty good for Griffin though.

I think Durant should be a 93 with most of those things driving that be offensive categories.

Wade shouldn't be a 95 -- more like a 91-92 until he proves he's healthy. I'd give Kobe a 93. Lebron, should be in the 96-98 range -- if he continues to develop that jumper he'll jump up to a 99 in my book.

Any new vids ?

87. That's LA's $96 million star player. Hell, I think that's a lil' too much.

Classic stuff.

Sounds like they are inflated. Seems the insider gives certain guys particular overall ratings to appease fan expectations; most people don't care to examine what constitutes an overall rating, they just care about the number. I agree that 93 was good for him and I can't see how he gets to 94-95 without something being exaggerated.

an overall rating doesnt say much for whats under the hood.
Griffen might be ranked an 87 but that could be inflated because he has a dunk rating of 99. and obviously his jumping ability would be a bit high also.
Same for Durant. BUt on the surface I'd have to agree with the Durant rating.
Personally, I think 2k does a good job of rating players out the box. There are alot of tangibles that go into the ratings, so alot of the tiems the numbers may seem inflated or a bit too low, but at the end of the day I have no complaints
