:cry: GOOD TRADE JVG

I don't think it's worthwhile to discuss overall ratings. It's only important that the players behave like their real life counterpart. We could discuss whether individual ratings (pass, steal, rebound) are too high once we have access to them.

[quote]WTF dang has a 84 rating???? did they see how deng played last year...he should get a 90....[/quote]
Lord... crazy Bulls fans. 84 is fine for Deng, maybe 86 or 87 max.

[QUOTE=DieHardBullsFan]WTF dang has a 84 rating???? did they see how deng played last year...he should get a 90....

and Artest has a better rating than Deng...at 86????

and Camby is rated too high at 88 lmao[/QUOTE]
uh-huh sure, the DPOY at 88 is too high for you right?
U just mad cuz camby has better player rankings than any player on the bulls..haha :banana:

But I do think that Ben Gordon at 82 is a little low.

duncan at 98 is a lil high, unless they focus heavily on low post skills and complaining to the refs.

The Bulls are always disrespected by the video game world and the referee's. It's ok, the Bulls have 5 players in the 80's and a few high 70's players. I am gonna dominate with them on 360.

A.I2 is very very very underatted.

Shane is there for D, but yes I would have liked to keep Gay too.

Amare 95 to Yao 92? wtf. Tho i guess i could MAYBE see it since amare is more athletic. However, one thing that i cannot see is how barbosa is 85. Are you kidding me? Dude's a 80 AT BEST! He can only score!...im done.

These aren't player rankings theyre a combination of the players category ratings. Barbosa has a high rating in a lot of categories I'm sure with his shot and speed. Some are more important than others the overall rating may not seem right to you now but wait and play as him in the game before judging too much.

Yao isn't athletic and not versatile, therefore he probably has some categories that are very low, even though in real life he is an excellent player. This isn't a player ranking.

I'm aware of this. But Barbosa would get high scores in shooting categories, layups, durability and speed (like 90s). He would get a moderate score for steals, ball handling, defensive awareness, offensive awareness (70s- low 80s). Then bad scores on passing, o and d rebounding, blocks, dunks (50-60). I just can't imagine him being 85. How is it possible he has higher overall stats than j-rich (among others)?

I also agree with a previous post that Curry's stats should be higher. Roy and Gordon should probably be higher too. Another interesting thing...does this mean kenyon martin is rated below 77? He isn't on the list.

The only thing Curry can really do is go to work on the low post offensively. Other than that, he doesn't do much at all. And I watched at least 65 games last season.

Lol I was looking for VC and RJ on SG and SF. I thought they left them out. Only to realize that they switched spots. WTF..?

I'm not too sure about whether 07/08 Iverson still is way better than 07/08 Arenas, to be honest.
