NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #7 - Creating a Legend - Kobe Rated 94, LeBron 98

[SteboSSK]

Arguing over OVR ratings is stupid. Lebron in relation to his actual skills should be the best rated player. Now what he is in real life as a total player is completely different. The clutch rating on 2k never affected the OVR anyway. Kobe is my fav player of all time but in reality he isnt the same player he was 2 seasons ago. Its not a bad thing to admit Dwade is slightly better now especially since there is a 5-6 year age gap...

Charles Barkley didn't play defense. No way he should be a 99. Even though overalls don't matter.......Hill Billy

That is spot on.

This right here.

All I have to say is 2K has too many heat fans working for them!!!

This is extremely sad. I thought 2K was all about accuracy, but it seems to me that they're all about being biased. There is no way that LeBron "don't wanna be the man on my own team" James can be a point away from Michael Jordan and 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! points ahead of KOBE!!! WADE aint even better than KOBE!!!!! The man was injured last year for cryin out loud. Dag!!!... Way to show some loyalty to a cover athlete.

For all you people out there that think LeBron is better than Kobe you are confusing ATHLETICISM WITH SKILL! LeBron is way more athletic than Kobe but he is NO WHERE NEAR as skilled as Kobe. If 2K goin off of that then Clyde Drexler and Hakeem should be better than LeBron! Especially Dream All LeBron does is dunk try to shoot threes and choke! Stop it 2K stop it.......

You can't judge players by their overall ratings. JR Smith was in the 70's and he was a beast.
