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

[bigsmallwood]

Some of you don't know anything about the NBA or just don't watch. Durant is very deserving of a 95 rating. He has an ALL-AROUND offensive game. Post AND perimeter. Not to mention that Kareem Abdul Jabbar like baby hook he displayed in the WCF against the Spurs. Durant plays great defense as well.

Blake should really be more like an 83...he needs to develop a better offensive game and his defense needs to vastly improve. Still a good player though.

I know 2K isn't the only one that has done this, but why give us the ratings only to say that "Ratings are subject to change"? I'd rather just see the ratings when they're done, as in when they aren't subject to change.

For instance, don't release a cover with Birdman on it and say, "Cover athlete is subject to change"; just show the cover when it's done.

Overall is not that big of deal but I don't know where Blake improved? Durant probably had a slight increase on the defensive side rebounding and deep mid range jumpers

No.

I love Durant, but his defense leaves a lot to be desired. He isn't Melo bad or anything, but he isn't good, much less great. And his post-game is barely existant. LeBron showed more in the post this season than Durant did, and LeBron's still leaves some to be desired.

• Durant being a 95 shows the LeBron will continue to be the simmed association MVP for 5 more years lol.

• Kobe with his new knee will be a 94-95

• D-wade will be a 92-93 (with injuries from last season dropping his ratings)

• I really want to see how D.Rose will be rated. He should be a 93. I have a feeling Deron Williams will be highly overrated

• Westbrook will be a 91

Ratings are always able to create buzz. They keep people talking about the game without even having to show any gameplay footage.

Did not read through the whole thread, but I'm trying to figure out why Blake Griffin is rated a 87?

Way too high for a guy with no post game, and who is an average defender

Ha! I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF RATINGS ON NBA 2K!!!!... It also doesn't mean too much if the players don't actually play like the real life counterparts??? Speaking of which; WHY IS KEVIN DURANT LOOKING LIKE THAT!!!!!?????? THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE KEVIN DURANT!! I HOPE HE IS NOT LOOKING LIKE THAT IN 2K13? WHY IS HE THE SAME SIZE HAS SERGE IBAKA??????!!!!!!! KEVIN DURANT DOES NOT HAVE MUSCLES AND HE IS NOT RIPPED WHY DOES HIS TRICEPS BULGE OUT LIKE HE IS RIPPED? HE IS BONY!!!!
