Marbury is tough to edit because he had an injury shortened season and it's arguable just how hard he was playing given all the distractions surrounding him.<BR/><BR/>According to my 2k8 ratings and the 2k8 calculator that figures all this stuff out, 74 DefAwr is below average for a starting PG. The average for starting PGs by my 2k8 rosters was 78.<BR/><BR/>Breaking down Marbury defensively vs the average starting point.<BR/>Marbury - Average<BR/>PostDef 59 - 59<BR/>Block 52 - 54<BR/>Steal 65 - 76<BR/>DefAwr 74 - 78<BR/>On Ball Defense 76 - 80<BR/><BR/>So I don't think there's any mistaking Marbury is below average for a starter, though he is probably about average when compared to 2nd string backups.Rashidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415749685735306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-62070526571599428862008-09-27T12:43:00.000-04:002008-09-27T12:43:00.000-04:00I'm new to 2k nba games, but I did a lot of roster...I'm new to 2k nba games, but I did a lot of rosters for Live.<BR/>It's impossible to rate Marbury as he is atm, we can only rate his old seld. If def awareness 74 means he's an above awarage defender, then it's wrong. I wouldn't give him more then 65. Then again, ratings in 2k9 might work differentlly. Was he ever a really solid 3p shooter? All in all, i'd put him lower based on last yera's performances, but it's hard to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-20850213753738685402008-09-27T03:34:00.000-04:002008-09-27T03:34:00.000-04:00I think he is tired of all the critics and will pl...I think he is tired of all the critics and will play with a mad on. That might result bad shots and more TOs tho, but he will play more defense I'm sure :)<BR/>But right now lowering the defensive awareness and hustle is well appreciated<BR/>we'll see<BR/><BR/>keep it upAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-70459405031322072782008-09-26T21:57:00.000-04:002008-09-26T21:57:00.000-04:00Players say that all the time though.

He did miss most of last season with an injury and will be in a new coaching system no matter what happens.<BR/><BR/>All that said, this is a pre-season edit for Marbury and as always I'll make any adjustments deemed necessary as the season progresses.Rashidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415749685735306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-38692445731687358332008-09-26T21:40:00.000-04:002008-09-26T21:40:00.000-04:00it's gonna be a wait and see for Starbury, cause h...it's gonna be a wait and see for Starbury, cause he said he said he's in the best shape of his lifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
