I hold the edge over 2K Sports across the entire board with the exception of two teams - the Rockets and Hornets.
With all that said, my rosters are far from perfect (though they are much closer to it). Five things that could make them better...
1. The Blazers need some attention paid to them. I normally am on top of the Blazers every year but I've admittedly focused on other teams this year since they've been wracked with injuries. Martell Webster, Andre Miller, even Juwan Howard need boosts.
2. While I don't have Trevor Ariza all that high (76 compared to 2K's 79), it may be time to decrease him again.
3. Continue dropping the Nets. They are the worst team by far and the only team that comes close are the Wolves. The sad thing is 2K keeps boosting the Nets! Brook Lopez, Yi Jianlian, and even Jarvis Hayes all saw big jumps in recent updates. On my end, dropping Courtney Lee is probably the key.
4. Boost them Raptors up. Jarrett Jack has been playing well. Demar DeRozan is very underrated at only 64 overall (his rating in particular is what seems to drag the team down most).
5. I need to finish the Jazz. I have yet to edit Okur, Kirilenko, Korver, or Price, while Matthews is a bit underrated at 62. That would seemingly take care of them being slightly underrated.
Well, looks like I have my goals for the week!

Thank you, kind sir.
Be careful about boosting DeRozan, he is one of those players whose rating does not accurately depict his effectiveness in the game. As he is, he is unbelievably quick and can dunk literally all over the place, even with properly adjusted game sliders and on Hall of Fame difficulty. The man is a digital monster.
Couple key ratings for DeRozan
44 3pt
34 PostDef
54 DefAwr
62 BallDef
Threes could prob be about 10-15 pts higher. He's one of Toronto's better defenders IRL but certainly not in the game.
The only reason he plays better than his rating is his dunk rating. Any player with 90 dunk rating is a monster in 2K.
well my take on team ratings is that, it doesnt really show how strong or weak the team is. it doesnt really effect association standings and even more how strong the team feels in quickgame.. so it doesnt really matter.
whacha think?
DeRozan's dunk rating does make him pretty good to go off with, but his shooting is alittle low in the game. He's not the greatest shooter but that's the main thing he's working on this year and it shows when he takes shots defenders give him, most of the time anyway. Also, when the Raptors go to him early in the first quarter(he rarely even plays second halfs more than afew minutes) he will get to the line like crazy.
The starting line up for the Raps (save a few of DD's ratings and Bargnani is still alittle low IMO) is pretty spot on. Amir Johnson and Sonny Weems need bumps though.
Also, Jose's shooting is improving, although not to his levels the past two years, he's still shooting great and distributing well now that he's coming off the bench as part of the two headed PG spot with Jack.
I'm kind of confused why the Blazers are so low and the Rockets are so high. I mean, if injured players count towards overall rating, Houston is where it should be. But then Portland should have a higher rating if Oden and Przybilla and Outlaw and Batum are being counted in the rating.
Juwan Howard is starting for Portland. That drags their overall rating down a ton.
+3 to Juwan Howard and -1 to LaMarcus Aldridge brought the Blazers to 75 overall. Webster and Miller up next.
can you post some specidic ratings on here thanks.
Haha... the Blazers went down to 73 overall after my Webster/Miller tinkerings.
C Howard (63)
PF Aldridge (77)
SF Webster (68)
SG Roy (87)
PG Miller (72)
Bench
SG Rudy Fernandez (70)
SG Jerryd Bayless (70)
PG Steve Blake (64)
It turned out Webster was overrated, Miller is really the same player just getting his usual minutes now, while Blake has really had the bottom fall out for him. I'm going to take a look at Roy now because he's obviously the reason the team is still winning games.
