Also, I don't necessarily mind so many players in the 70s, as this mimics Madden ratings, but the top at each position should be all at least over 95.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-50048309708413353572009-10-05T08:17:25.834-04:002009-10-05T08:17:25.834-04:00hey rashidi.

Along with all of those numbers he also averaged only 2.1 turnovers per game - pretty impressive considering his inexperience, the extreme minutes he was playing, and the extra pressure that was put on his shoulders. When was the last time you saw a player average 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 19 points and only 2 assists in any 7 game playoff series?<br /><br />Now, you say that he only averaged those figures becuase of KG's absense, extra minutes, and DR's poor defence in Chicago. If so, then explain how he then went on to average 10reb, 8ass, 14pts and 2.3st against Orlando over another 7 games? This was against one of the top defensive teams in the league, and his minutes were down to a much more 'normal' 37mpg - no more then what any star PG would play in a key playoff series.<br /><br />In the end, he averaged 17pts, 9.7reb, 9.8ass and 2.5stl and 2.7to per game - over a 14 game spread. I can't even recall the last time any active NBA player averaged better 'all round' numbers then that over 14 consecutive playoff games.<br /><br />Then you say he only scored more and got the boards because KG was out - how about Kendrick Perkins, Paul Pierce, Big Baby? All solid rebounders, and yet Rondo ranked second on the Celtics in rebounds over those 14 games (beaten only by Perkins at 11.6rpg). <br /><br />He didn't score anywhere near as much during the regular season, but that's because he didn't need to - not because he wasn't able to. Even during the regular season when he was their 4th or 5th option on offence he still put up very solid numbers - 12 points (on 50% shooting), 5.2reb, 8.2assists and 1.9 steals. All round, those numbers (when you combine offense, defence, and efficiency) boost him right up in the top 3-5 PG's in the league. Jameer Nelson and Mo Williams beat him to All-Star selections, but take away the pure scoring and their numbers are nowhere near Rondo's.<br /><br />Add all of that to the fact that last year was only his second season in the league - it's all but guaranteed that he's going to further develop and improve (esspecially on offence) in the upcoming season. <br /><br />It's really not that far fetched. Check out Chirs Paul's numbers, Check out Deron Willilam's numbers, then check out Rondo's numbers - aside from scoring, they're right up there. If Rondo picks up a more consistent/confident jump shot this season, he could be amount the top 2 pg's in the league, with his numbers held back only by the fact that he's playing behind 3 future hall of famers.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-23932747922081401332009-09-28T20:14:43.814-04:002009-09-28T20:14:43.814-04:00I think you forgot that the point guards job is to...I think you forgot that the point guards job is to distribute the ball and set up th eoffense. Rondo makes great passes as well as driving to the lane and getting rebounds. He also is one of the better defensive point guards in the league. Scoring isn't everything, and with all is other attributes I think thats why he is rated so high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-72472926939088724112009-09-28T17:04:32.463-04:002009-09-28T17:04:32.463-04:00warning : Long comment coming...
First off a big ...warning : Long comment coming...<br /><br />First off a big thanks for years of great work you´ve put in to help the community out with your roster updates, i myself am still playing 2K9 with one of your later updates.<br /><br />Now off we go :<br />So that is a valid argument if you look at his scoring and shooting related ratings. Is that too high ? If it isn´t : It makes no sense to lower attributes where he´s great among PGs (anything but shooting, really)<br /><br />Yes, the OVRL should reflect the quality of the player but it also simply is a formula that is the sum of all parts.<br /><br />So lowering ratings for the sake of lowering the OVRL rating imo is not the way to go about sports game ratings anymore now that siganture play and tendencies are onvolved, especially with clear cut starters (where there´s no position battle inside the team and a lower OVRL rating would ensure that the better player IRL would start)<br /><br />In a video game setting one player might have more weak spots than another (and thus a low OVRL rating) yet still produce better and be harder to play against than a player with a higher OVRL.<br /><br />That is what i love about games with no overall rating, like Football Manager (si games) where the AI is smart enough to pick players based on individual attributes rather than an overall rating.<br /><br />And judging off 2K9 : Rondo played like Rondo and averaged expectable stats even with a high OVRL rating (later in his career in my association) because of his limitations and in spite of a high Ovrl rating. <br /><br />Greetings, <br /><br />MarioWhomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852881925895547515noreply@blogger.com
