These ratings are stupid.

There should be categorically placed, Lebron James is a 94 and rondo is 90.

what if I put Lebron at the point position, is he a better point guard than rondo?
what if rondo is at the 5? is he still a 90?

and Russell Westbrook and d wade are on the same tier as Kobe? and Westbrook is slightly better than derrick rose? laughable...

this is why I don't play NBA videogames

Mainsqueeze4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

Right now in their careers D Wade and Westbrook are both just as good as Kobe, prob even a little better. I would also take Westbrook over Rose any day of the week. Westbrook has just as good of stats even though he has to share the ball with Durant, plus Rose isn't going to be playing this season for a long ass time. Injuries effect overall scores. I also think that that 94+ on Lebron will prob be around a 98 or 97 or even 99(highly unlikely) when the game comes out, the man is playing on another planet right now.
The things that i see wrong with these ratings is 1. Dwight being a better overall than Durant, Dwight just came off a serious injury and the only player better than Durant in the nba right now is Lebron. And 2. Steve Nash as a freaking 87 lol the man gets older, alot of his stats in the NBA get worse, and some how his rating goes up from last year wtf.

westbrook is not better then Rose dude westbrook can hardly pass the ball and derrick rose actually brought up the bulls while i wanna see westbrook do that because he is a horrible decision maker

boxcarr214237d ago

I do agree that Westbrook is better than Rose but really? Nash may not be in his prime but the guy can still ball better than most of the people in the NBA now. He is up for another 50 40 90 season this season and will lead the league in assists easily.

boxcarr214237d ago

also Nash is one of the most under rated clutch shooters in the league.

The ratings system actually matters in conjunction with the players skills. Playing LeBron at the point wouldn't be much of a drop off because LeBron has proven to be a great ball handler and distributor of the ball. However, this isn't Live. You can't take Shaq or Dwight out to the perimeter and have a field day. They won't have the handles or the outside shot to do anything. How, put them where they belong and they become a beast. Thus, Rondo wouldn't be able to handle the size and post moves required to play at the 5. Position to position, there will always be some arguments as to the numbers. But, 2K has been pretty faithful in getting the best out of having to play the teams the way they should be played.

This being the reason you don't play NBA video games is like saying you don't eat at restaurants because Zagat rated McDonald's higher than Wendy's.

If you don't play NBA video games just say you don't play 'em. No need to drop silly excuses.

Like The Hardware said they should categorized them by position

Mainsqueeze4239d ago

those ranks are based on how good they are at their primary position.

3-4-54239d ago

ratings for who can jog down the court the slowest ?

No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy

PapaBop2052d ago

EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.

"Since the release of the first NBA 2K game, EA have arguably been left behind in 2Ks dust in the basketball video game category."

I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.

CraigGOA2052d ago

If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.

Minute Man 7212052d ago (Edited 2052d ago )

The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen

Einhander19712052d ago

Dear EA just stop making games full stop.

The man who sold the world from MGS V? If any song is to be remembered from that game it's Here's to you by Joan Baez/Ennio Morricone. That scene gave me goosebumps.

Stupid article. Music in games should be recognized for their impact like the crossing into Mexico in RDR. Not just tunes on the disc

Top 10 Basketball Video Games

Basketball is a sport that any child in America has played at one point or another. It was one of the key sports in gym classes across the country, and only continues to grow because it’s accessibility.

All you need is a ball and a basket.

If you’re like me, however, you’ll soon realize that you aren’t that great at basketball.

Despite this, you try and emulate Michael Jordan with the tongue hanging out, or, for kids today, doing three goggles after hitting a bucket. Still, at the end of the day, we may not have a future in the NBA.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the game we love.

I would add a couple personal favorites from LONG ago. NBA In The Zone...cuz you could play a MJ (though they changed his number and name...which you could change back...it was STILL MJ...and it was before NBA Live 2000). Double Dribble...cuz you could finally see dunks! NBA ShootOut...cuz they finally added a bit of skill to shooting. Oh...and Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird One On One...cuz it's the first one I ever played.
