NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Allen Iverson - 95, Jared Dudley - 75, Thomas Robinson - 75

I really don't care what changes have been made to their rating system, there is no way Allen Iverson is honestly rated in each attribute seeing that he is a 95 rating. I don't care if he is a former MVP. But that is 2K so it is expected.

Really??? Why doesn't he deserve a 95, people forget just how good the guy was. He was a very good perimeter defender, his speed and quickness was top notch, he wasn't a terrible shooter as many would think people honestly forget the degree of difficulty of the shots he took, and often times he was guarded by Shooting guards not just Point guards so often he was at a height disadvantage. He was constantly in the painted area also and we all know that's a no no area for the PGs in the world so those affected his shot percentage as well...but you know his Shot in traffic rating will be high and we aren't going to speak on his ball handling..."crazy" is all that is needed to describe that, no he wasn't the greatest passer but he wasn't terrible either (assist do not always tell the whole story on a persons passing ability, because they rely on another person to make the shot after receiving the pass and we all know A.I. played on a subpar team). He deserves every bit of a 95 no higher than that and no lower than a 93 for his MVP year.

^ lol, i guess free throw rating = 25, but when Diop was on mavericks he was a beast defender, after watching him play he became one of my favorite players

If you honestly understood how 2K's rating system workED, you would understand how hard it is to get someone like AI to honestly be rated at a 95 overall rating.

Now, I am sure some things have been altered in the 2K13 system but I doubt it is that different than 2K12.

For someone who isn't dominant on both sides of the ball, it is hard to get them to be ranked that high. Mid 90s. Which is also why I said Durant had to have inflated attributes.

2K works backwards. They say to themselves, "_____ should be rated a _____" then they make sure that the player is rated what they feel he should be rated.

When you do that, you leave yourself open to inflated attributes.

I am pretty sure that Iverson's on ball defense is overrated.
I am sure his defensive awareness will be overrated. You will say that he played the passing lanes but we have a Play the Passing Lanes tendency. So there is no need to inflate his defensive awareness.

If those two ratings alone were correctly distributed, he wouldn't be as high as a 95.

To put it into context. 2K is telling us that Iverson is a better SG than Pippen was a SF. And that is so far from the truth. Pippen did everything. Two way players excel in 2K's rating system. Iverson is not a two way player.

Yea he got steals and scored a lot of points. Physical attributes will be great (speed, quickness, vertical), but a 95 rated Allen Iverson is clearly a lie.

Maybe the feel like they owe him for being the coverboy for the first 4 years.

At the end of the day you know most players will be overrated by 2K like it always has been.

I still can't figure out how overalls can get so much debate. It's not the overall that's too high, it's some of their stats that are overrated that make the overalls too high, so as long as we don't have access to all their stats I don't see much to argue about.

How does it make sence to say: Kobe should have 95 or 91? I don't get it.

Gimme some HD gameplay footage :(

You have a valid point there, 2K does inflate certain attributes. I wasn't thinking on that logic there so my bad man I see what you mean, to be truthful if you want to realistically rate a player then there are very few players deserving of a 90 rating truthfully.
