Metrocard's 2K11 Player Ratings

That's if you are stuck on the feeble and ridiculoid notion that Melo is a top 5 player, which he definitely is not.

To put it bluntly Roy is simply better both ways than Melo. Melo may be more dominate offensively, but Roy is close to him in this area and better defensively. So I can see why one would rate Roy higher than Melo overall.

And just as an aside, Roy's ball skills totally son Melo's and most PG's in the league for that matter. That boy is bad w the pill..
Man, im sorry but saying that Brandon roy is better then Mello is insanity. The Blazers were OFFERING Brandon Roy to the Hornets in a package trying to get CP3! Hes not a franchise player! he has talent but hes no Carmelo Anthony. in my book Mello is juat as good as wade, and a few notches under LeBron and Kobe.

My top 5 NBA player With ratings

1. Kobe (95)
2. LeBron (94)
3. KD (92)
4. Mello (91)
5. Wade (91)

I'm a huge Melo fan, too, and agree with your assessment on him spot on. Arguably top5 in NBA, and he's 26.

Kobe (overrated) Lebron (underrated), though. People put to much stock into winning (given championships), in relation to how it directly reflects a players worth.

IMO, Lebron has done a lot more winning than Kobe that reflects their individual game and talents, even though Kobe obv has the rings. This makes him a greater legend, legacy, etc, and should be respected hugely, but as an actual player and skill comparison....Eh.

1. Lebron (98)
2. Wade (95)
3. Kobe (93)
4. KD (93)
5. Melo (91)

CP3 prolly not getting the respect he deserves, tho.

Agree with you on a few things here, One being that CP3 is being overrated but thats mostly due to the fact that he was injured last season.

But Wade a 95? maybe in his prime but now I can alomost guarantee you that by mid season that overall is going to be an 99, 89 because LeBron is going to be doing most of the driving in and will be scoring most of the points. Not to mention Wade is 30 years old. how much gas does he have left in the tank?

and as for LeBron i agree that he CAN be better then Kobe, and COULD have been bigger then Jordan BUT> he took the pussy route and teamed up with 32 superstars. So LeBron can average 40 points a game its not going to matter. it will always come down to the fact that Micheal did it alone and stuck with his team, While LeBron left his team because he COULDNT do it alone.

Also Kobe may be overrated but for good reason. The guy has four Championships! he may have had Shaq for 2 of them but the last 2 are all him. I think were going to see a better Kobe Bryant as he gets older. Because as a player as you get older you cant drive as much due to fear of getting injured, so that makes you improve your shot, and I think by the time Kobe is 33 he will have more rings then Michael. Sadly LeBron will never be as good as he could have been because he will always be UnderRated because hes playing with two All Stars. But hey, Thats his own stupid decision.

We actually pretty much agree here, too. If you're going to take in to account Wade's age and miles, he takes a big hit compared to guys like Lebron, KD, even Melo. But assuming he his healthy, for this season at least, he is a total force. I think he is STILL in his prime (prolly leaving it, but still within it), but I could easily be wrong. Hope I am. :) Would love to see Wade really start breaking down in yr1 of Miami's Evil Empire.

I don't think Kobe is overrated as the total package...legacy, legend, and rings are part of the game. And Kobe has mountains of that.

And Lebron never really will (some tainted rings, maybe, aside). He is always going to carry a scarlet letter, and prolly did a good job finding a way to make Kobe even more epic...let alone if LA can wing another title in the next few years....

A good pt. is raised as to whether you truly want a guy like Lebron on a hardcore championship team, given the route he took, and how he took it, and what it shows about him.

I'm still not sold either way whether he is a "loser" when it comes to championships and his personal ability to carry a team to one. His Cavs were so so so bad....It's remarkable what they did, but some sketchy playoff games and his fleeing to Wade and Riley raises doubts, no question.

But in a basketball game (xbox, ps3 haha), i don't think a lot of that matters, and my personal rankings reflect that more than anything.

Nah. Don't forget that PER stuff. I don't know what stuff and fluff is. The topic is basketball, and you're not using a lot of words that are telling me why Paul shouldn't be rated where he's at. Stats are facts. My arguments not only include stats, but explanations on why I'm using them. I rather use the facts than come into a thread looking like a bias oblivious dickhead.

You're not an NBA scout, you're not certified to evaluate talent...so stop trying to act like on an NBA scout watching every NBA game sitting on your fat ass munching on a bag of doritos.

Iverson has a great defensive team.
Carmelo has a great team. Its not just him.

Homie, you embarrass yourself getting all homotional over your precious custom ratings. I don't need to study PER numbers to know that they are basically equal in talent. Both players have strengths that the other doesn't which basically cancels each other out. Example: CP is quicker but DW is bigger and stronger.

You can put DW on NO right now and they wouldn't lose a step. The same goes for CP and UTA. Also, I'm sure if teams had a choice between DW and CP they'd be extremely happy with either one. You wouldn't lose anything picking one over the other.

Your making comments about me not being certified to evaluate talent yet YOU are the one acting like an NBA scout's assistant and giving custom ratings for damn near every player. Based on what????? You're not an NBA scout, you're not certified to evaluate talent...so stop trying to act like your an NBA scout watching every NBA game sitting on your sore ass jerking off to Mens Fitness magazines. (yeah I used your line and made it better)

All I did was disagree on your precious PER ranking to justify separating CP and DW by +3. They have the ability to generate the same production night in and night out.

I think people forget that overall ratings mean almost nothing in a game.

Ratings favor jack of all trades players. They don't take into account leadership, passion and the ability to take over a game when it actually matters. Someone like Lebron will always have the highest rating, because hes a multi stat whore.

Players like Carmelo should be rated lower as they aren't multi cat players. Melo doesn't block shots, shoot lots of 3s, have a lot of assists or grab 10+ rebounds. This doesn't make him a bad player as he is leaps and bounds higher in a real life metric as he can always find a makable shot. Ratings and stats don't mean everything. Both in real life and in games.

I'm sorry but if you say you'd rather have D. Will over Paul, over the long haul the short haul, or the U-haul for that matter, I just have to question your ability to judge talent. Period.

Paul is the best PG since Magic and Isiah. He's up there w those guys believe me.

You obviously haven't watched enough of him or looked at the numbers he can put up cause you are shamefully misinformed sir.

I'm convinced you know NOTHING about Deron Williams. So your saying if I was a GM and signed DW over CP I'm a bad judge of talent???? LOL GTFOH with that dumb sh*t. (u FAIL for that)

Wow ronoranina! CP puts up great numbers... Oh wait, DW can do the same exact thing too. C'mon man, you act like CP is putting up 30 and 40 while DW is in the teens or something. Do your homework son!

nice ratings....
lol, y ppl mad at game ratings?

give or take 2 points, we all agree on the same thing
nothing is outrageously wrong here
not like he has eddy curry as a 85 or something.

grow up kids...
i dont see the point of adjusting player ratings with living rosters. games nowadays change player ratings according to how the player does in real life...

You asked Metro why he had CP3 rated 3 points ahead of DWill. He answered you simply and succinctly and his assessments were spot on.

There is no fail on my part.

You sir, failed the moment you went and started believing Dwill and CP3 were in the same class.

DWill is a very very good PG, borderline great, but he is not in the same class as CP3 IMHumbleO.. CP3 is legitamately a great HOF PG, THE BEST OF HIS GENERATION.

And they don't put up the exact same numbers. You are mistaken there too. Obviously you need to do your research. When healthy CP3 consistently put up assist numbers that are better than DWill and on par w Magic Johnson's and Isiah Thomas's career averages. CP3's scorong averages are better also. Go look at the numbers. I've done my research in this area. So pls stop.

Your opinion on DWill is purely conjecture and not in line with how they actually look on court, or w relation to season averages. So what are you basing this judgement that they should be rated evenly on??? Pure fanboy BS maybe??

Metro prolly summed up the debate the best when he pointed out that on the olympic team Paul started over Dwill. So D'ant, CoachK, Jim B. and Nate McMillan all can't judge talent right?

Yeah you could prolly plug one in for another w similar results, but there are subtle differences in their games that put Paul over the top. More discerning player evaluators tend to pick up on them.

I don't put you in that category sir..

Metro's ratings are pretty accurate.

I am more concerned on the potential level that NBA 2k11 will give each player.

Chandler, Gallo, and Randolph should be high in potential.

Actually Gallo and Randolph should be up to 85-90 in potential with Chandler at like 80.

That is a huge concern of mine because in franchise mode, the potential ratings made the huge difference in the players growth. Some good players with amazing numbers had a potential rating of around 40 or something...didnt make sense.

Please share what they are, seeing as how your such a supreme player evaluator.

Now your saying their differences are subtle AND at the same time saying DW is not in the same class as CP??. That makes very little sense.

BTW, you used Metro's name twice to reply to a post that was directed only at you. Your like that cornball dude that hangs on every word Kenny Powers says.

If you think about it it makes sense that the differences be subtle between a really really good player and a great one. There's obviously gonna be some overlap. Put your thinking cap on NYK NYK...

The reason I mentioned Metro's name the first time is because he killed your sh#t before you even got the chance to reply. I also happen to agree wholeheartedly with the argument he made and I hate to be redundant.

Metro actually echoed a point I made about Paul back when I was arguing w you ignoramoids that kept underrating him a month or so ago regarding the effortless way in which he gets where he wants on the court.

I've posted ad nauseum about Paul already on these boards..

But since you asked nicely let me be more specific.

Chris Paul does everything DWill does but better, except shoot w range.

1. He is a better athlete -- second biggest difference
Paul is faster getting up and down the court than DW. He's also quicker getting by his man. When he gets in the lane and goes up to finish he is more explosive. DW is heavier and stronger, but Paul is strong too. Plus when you think about it strength is important but it's not a prerequisite to being an effective PG. You need to be quick enough to get to the spot on the court you want to draw the defense or score yourself. Because Paul is quicker and faster than DW he's able to get around the court on O and make it look easy, like he's playing the game in third gear when he has a fourth and a fifth. This aspect of Paul's game makes him really fun to watch.

2. Court vision
Paul has better court vision. He is up there w the greats of all-time in this area. He sees the whole floor, knows where all of his teammates are at all times and he sees things before they develop. He can set up a teammate so easily. People give Nash props for his vision and deservedly so, but Paul has this attribute in equal proportion to Nash already and he is still so young. It took Nash years of work and good coaching to hone this trait.

D will has really good vision but he IMO simply does not see the floor like Nash and Paul. He is a tier below them in this regard. A comparison of their assist numbers bears this out. Go look for yourself if you haven't already.

You know those plays where Nash gets to where he wants on the court by dribbling under the basket, then around a defender, gets in the lane, draws help and then finds a cutting teammate with a behind the back pass or something like that. Paul can do this too but he makes it look easier. In other words Paul doesn't need so many dribbles and so much time to get the spot he wants because he's so quick and his handle is so right. When he gets to that spot he already knew where he wanted to go w the ball and he makes the right decision. DW can do this too but not as skillfully or as effortlessly as Paul or Nash. The area, as far as stats are concerned, that this deficit really shows up is w regards to turnovers. Paul consistently averages less TO over the course of a given season than DW.

3. Handle - the biggest difference in there games respectively
DW's vision is not given the opportunity to really shine because he's not the ball-handler Paul is-- meaning he's not the constant threat to get in the lane at will. If you can not get to where you want on the court with the threat of being able to score once you get there, you will not draw attention. DW simply cannot get to the spot he wants to as easily as Paul and I don;t think he scores as well as him either. This means Paul has more easy opportunities to find teammates if he is aware of where they are on the court, which he always is as I've pointed out.

I think Paul gets in the paint so easily because he is one of the best dribblers of all-time and he's really explosive. I could probable name a few players comparable to him skill wise in this area. W regards to DW I can think of so many players that have better ball-handling skills than he does. Sorry bro but he ain't no Shamgod, lol.

4. Feel, Savvy, IQ
As I've mentioned Paul is always aware of where his teammates are. Combine this attribute with his immense skill and you have some opportunities for him to show his vast ability to improvise on the court. The kid can take lemons and make lemonade ..., and make it look easy. This to me is where the GREATNESS comes in to play. Paul makes plays that are astounding. DW is less flashy not by choice, but because he just can't do what Paul does.

5. Production
Paul's numbers are the stuff of greatness. You may not be able to tell that from looking them over, but when you compare them to Magic and Isiah's career numbers, it's easy to see that he is on pace, if he stays healthy to have a very similar, or maybe even a better career than those guys. Seriously, Paul could average 25 ppg, 12 or 13 assists and 3 steals throughout a season. That is his pedigree! DW is not in his class. He is very good in all of the above areas I've mentioned but Paul is great in all of these areas. That is the difference that may not be discernable to the untrained eye. I've been breaking down players for a long time. DW is a tier below Paul in my mind when I rank PGs. Sorry bro..

Just to be clear:

As far as their careers go so far, Paul is pretty much better in every statistical category, except 3pt % and not by much. YOU'D THINK BECAUSE DW is taller and stronger he'd atleast average more rebounds but he doesn't even do that better than Paul. Paul is nicer on the court and clearly better on paper as well.

6. Defense
Paul is hands down the better defender. He is a lock down defender at the PG position. The boy has been first team all-defense already and he's still very young. He displays very good awareness on this end of the court. When he guards his man one on one he can beat him to a spot and get the clean strip. He has powerful hands and good placement, so he avoids fouls. He also plays the passing lanes really well. DW is not in the same league as Paul on the D end.

7. Shooting
They are both nice shooters, but DW is better from 3 point land. He makes more threes and shoots them a little more consistently percentage wise. Both players shoot high FG percentages inside the trifecta line tho. Both hit the open 12 -20 foot jumper, shoot the floater or teardrop in the lane with consistency and make a nice percentage of FTs. Paul is the better FT shooter percentage wise for his career. I'd say w regards to shooting they are about even overall.

There were some other skill areas that I could have touched upon but you get the idea. Chris Paul is the better player. DW is a really nice player, but as I've stated numerous times he is a level below Paul.

When PAUL IS HEALTHY HE IS THE BEST pg IN THE LEAGUE, hands down.

Well the ratings are based on what the players have done most recently. Since they get updated week by week. If you want true 2k11 style ratings, DWill should be higher than CP3 at this moment in time. That ain't saying he's a better player overall, that's just how he should be rated going into pre-season.

Roy vs Melo is debatable too but I'd give Melo the nod over Roy at this stage.

I'm just hoping they actually made a game that ain't completely ruined by bugs for the first month+ of release like last year...

Just saying Bandon Roy is a 86 and Mello is an 84. You cant tell me Roy is better then Mello. Mello has an ability to ceate his own Shot at any angle and thats something only 2 other guys in the NBA have (Kobe, Wade).

In my book, Mello is an 88. quite possibliy 90. Esspecialy if Bosh, Gasol, and Brandon Roy are 86 ad STAT is an 85. 84 is just ridiculous for a top 5 NBA player.

Roy is a better defender than Carmelo, and a better all around player with his passing and shooting. Carmelo is the superior scorer, but it really stops there.
Roy is really underrated and Carmelo is overrated.

There is no way you can justify Carmelo is a top 5 player, because he isn't, never was and never will be. Maybe if he averaged 9+ rebounds and 5+ assist and play better defense. Right now his game is just non stop scoring. Best scorer in the league? Maybe. Top 5 player? nope.


What a ****ing waste of time

Why are you quoting your mother on the day of your birth?

Nope. I never embarrass myself on this site. You fooling yourself into coming into an argument with no facts. Just your personal bias and opinion. if I was opinionated, I would come in this thread with Carlos Arroyo being rating a 90. But I'm not. He's an average ass guard who doesn't deserve anymore than a 70.

You spewing the ignorant shit known to man.
The most ignorant argument a sports fan can do is:

You can put player A on player B's team, and he'll do the same.

Dude.
It didn't happen.
and it won't happen.

Your hypothesis is untested and unproven, so why state? Its not factual, so honestly your better off shutting the f*ck up, and sitting your seat.
It is not VALID, and so wasting font and learn how to RESEARCh your FACTS that have been tested and proven to validity to use them for your failed argument you lost 2 pages ago.



You're kinda gay for imagining me jerking off to men fitness magazine...instead of wasting your time doing that, why don't you go outside for a run, or grab a jumprope and shred all that weight that your carrying on your body? Maybe it'll be easier for you to think more logically and come less ignorant. Go accomplish something in life, don't speak to your superior like that.

Your problem is simple: You're too stubborn to accept the facts. Only imbecile think they're uncorrectable. If you came in here with some strong facts, valid facts. I would give you a pound and say props "I didn't know that, thanks for sharing". You can't do that because you feel inferior posting to me because I have this status as the top poster...don't let that phase you.
