Not to put words in his mouth but the "he's ok" thing is referencing him being pretty much ok with his rating, not that he deems Paul only ok as a basketball player. At least that is how I interpreted that comment.

CP3 was a 95 in 2K11, then dropped to a 94 along the year. Last year he was a 92, and I guess that was due to the new rating inflation (a lot of player overalls went down despite having little to no change to their attributes).

No, I am asking what is the point of saying, "He should be 1 point lower." What is 1 point? How is that really a difference.

I would be very afraid, if I'm a Knicks fan, to think how Amar'e would play with very little athleticism. Ratings look good for those three, but I'm really interested in what their signature skills are.

No he can, and by the way he played last year he should have been a 70's rated player. I was just trying to guess why they gave him that number from the bat. I think it's a thing where 2k, award some players a higher rating because of what they did in previous seasons.

As someone else said Rivers is probably rated lower due to being a PG...put him at SG (where the kid belongs honestly, he will FAIL as a PG due to selfishness) and he goes up 3-4 spots I bet. Amare is blah, I guess that is close enough. Paul is fine. Great player, arguable best PG in the game.

Looking at your username, Your are obviously not trying to hide your Kentucky bias. Listen, Austin Rivers is a MUCH MORE nba ready player than MKG is. Austin Rivers has a natural feel for the speed of NBA basketball. He didn't grow up just playing basketball, he grew up playing NBA basketball. Trust me, He's gonna be a much better NBA player than he was a college player.

He meant 93 (to be on par with Kobe) not 94. I agree with 94 though. Wade will probably be 93 so Paul will be the best guard in the NBA

2k has always overrated amare's post game and defense. Majority of last year his defensive ratings were higher than Kevin garnett. Actually it might still be.

When will you all stop comparing overall ratings of players that don't play the same position or have the same style of play?
