NBA 2K11 Player Ratings (Starting Lineups)

2K Sports is being very secretive with their ratings this year, and thus far have only been willing to release the starting lineup overalls to 2khoops.net

Ultimately, this list is extremely disappointing as it seems 2K could only be bothered to edit about 5-10% of the league despite a 3 month gap between the last roster and a significant amount of OBVIOUS work that needed to be done.

Btw, this confirms that the list I compiled from the league website was accurate - sorry naysayers.

Here is their list, and I've added in the difference from where that player was at the end of 2K10.

Thabo Sefolosha 66 (0)
Kevin Durant 91 (+3) - Apparently raised from the build "Da Czar" used in his videos (also likely due to complaints)
Jeff Green 77 (0)

That's the list. A grand total of 10 players had their overall rating change by more than 1 point. It makes me think that all the players who went up or down only 1 point did so because they added a new rating, not because they actually sat down and edited those players (or changed the rating scale for an existing one).

These are horrid. Kleiza's rating has to be a joke.

rashidi i bet you wish they would release one or two players complete attribute page to give u an idea huh

Jbrown1182 said...

I had the same reaction seeing Kleiza's rating. I simply couldn't believe it.

KD and Carmello are both overrated as well, as they're not complete players. Both are essentially just scorers.

I'm not sold on the John Wall rating either.

Dorell Wright-64
Dominic McGuire-63

What?

doclinkin said...

All the centers rank pretty low, I wonder what the deal is with that. I suppose game play is more fun with perimeter ballhandlers dominating the action.

Maybe this is a sop to the no-hand-check rule.

Of the bigs Brook Lopez seems high considering his team flirted with an all-time worst record.

Al Horford seems low given his on-court situational intelligence.

Josh Smith seems a little high at PF. I know he racks stats, but defensively blocks are overrated. He rarely dominates his match-up, tends to play off his man on defense allowing them to get free so he can try for the block. By contrast Horford disallows his man from even getting the shot off by playing close and active and denying the ball.

David Lee seems high. He's another stat padder in the same vein as Antawn Jamison. He racks rebounds, but it never seems to help his team win since his opponent also posts efficiency totals above their average.

you really cant see the "greatness" in Carmelo Anthony? you must not watch basketball. He is arguably the best overall scorer in the entire LEAGUE!! his size and steength make him a mismatch for most opponents and he can score from literally anywhere on the floor. His low post moves are his best asset and he can easily, consistently strike from the perimeter.... if he played lockdown defense he'd be a legit 98 rating.

Rashidi said...

"Arguably" the best doesn't hold much weight when there are better arguments that he's no better than 5th.

Not to mention he is "arguably" the worst defensive player among all "superstars".

Danny Granger- 83
Joe Johnson- 88
Stephen Jackson- 84
Gerald Wallace- 84
Monta Ellis- 84
David Lee- 83
AND THEN DIRK NOWITZKI 83???
Is this a fucking joke?
He is a top 10 player in the league, take him off the Mavs and replace him with one of these guys and Dallas is a lottery team. I can believe they really think the guys listed above me are better or equal players. This is insane and just lazy.

i agree that dirk i rated far too low. i know he's not a great defender, but i think that any player that can consistently take over games and perform in the clutch should be at least 85, if not more.

noah 73
hibbert 71

then

ben wallace and bargnani are 74's.

noah and hibbert are much more valuable to their team considering they have more offensive use then wallace, and much more defensive use then bargnani. i think noah is especially underrated here.

also how does melo improve by 2 when he doesnt play defense, i dont understand the greatness either. you can give him a 99 in all shooting and driving and post moves and whatever else on offense. but he doesnt pass enough to get big assists numbers. he doesnt rebound well enough to get a double double that way consistently and he doesnt play defense

I'm a Nets fan so my opinion is a little biased, but I seriously can't understand how Devin Harris is only 78. I mean how can Antawn Jamison (78, a guy who doesn't defend and has been relegated to the bench), Corey Maggette (78, and again doesnt defend),Vince Carter (81, fighting for minutes with J.J Redick) K - Mart (78, and struggling since leaving J. Kidd), Baron Davis (79...just simply fat)and Shane Battier (78 but can only defend and shoot 3's)even be in the same category as Devin. I mean we did suck last year, but this year we will compete for a playoff position. Hopefully this isnt an actual ratings list.

Jokim Noah is 83 overall. Pau Gasol is 83 overall.chris bosh is 83 overall. these are like way off

These were accurate three months ago. Check the date of the post.
