I think last year he was an 85, Love an 86 and Aldridge was I think 84. I know it went Love, Blake then Aldridge

Dunking, vertical, agility Blake wins this category by a wide margin
Ft shooting Love and Aldridge are 80% Blake is in the 50%'s
Rebounding, Love is the best then Blake and Aldridge is not that great on the boards
Post game Aldridge is better and then Blake and Love could both improve.
Defense all are average I will say even
Passing all are average
Mid range shooting Aldridge is the best. Love is actually just as bad as Griffin which most don't know
3pt shooting Love is the best here
Potential, hard to say but I have to say Blake has more potential to be a dominant player. Each has a strength and weakness so I don't have a problem if all three are rated pretty close. It all depends what goes into 2k's equations

ATTN: 2K DEVELOPERS!!!

Please stop using numerical values when determining the 'OVERALL' ratings of players. This will change the 'This player is rated too high, or this player is rated too low' conversations that clutter 2K threads everywhere. I personally would love to see a meter, similar to how THE SHOW does their ratings. On The Show, you cannot visibly tell if Player A is better than Player B...all I'll see is that both players are pretty darn good and this ratings talk will stop others questioning the credibility of the 2K INSIDER and the team.

Thanks!

I mean really...2K Basketball has the most people discussing ratings than any other sport game out there. Let us get back to actually playing the game...like we used to do in the old days.

I know we have discussed this before but why do we even need an overall rating? All it does is muddy the waters.

if durant went from 93-2k12 to 95-2k13 then lebron must go from 98-2k12 to 99-2k13...lol just crazy how they do their ratings...lebron is the best player on 2k12 other then MJ which is crazy!

Apparently dunk and vertical ratings amount to an 87 OVR...

Yeah NBA 2K12 did not add pictures for ANY rookies. But of course they added pictures for Darrington Hobson and Gerald Green through roster updates... Why 2K? Why?
