[hella_numb]

monta ellis is rated way too high. thats good for me when i play with the warriors but lets be realistic he is not better then
12. Brandon Roy: 82
13. Ben Gordon: 82
14. Kevin Martin: 82
17. Richard Jefferson: 80

at least not in the nba maybe for video games with his stats and speed.

 

[Masked Lemon]

Shaq's only rated a 87? Damn.

 

[Reegz]

Yeah some of them numbers are rather suspect. I bet tha game is crackin though.

 

[hella_numb]

the demo is out on xbox live, i downloaded it. its a little bit slower paced then last years game, but i think a lot of the features are missing in the demo. there is no voice announcers, no way to sub your players in, etc. so i think the demo isnt a good reprasention of the final game. but the left joystick for dribbling the ball is way different. you used to be able to do crossovers and stuff by moving the joystick in one direction then snappin it to the other direction, but not in this years game. but the player models look a lot better, the faces look real finally.

 

[XxtraMannish]

Shaq's only rated a 87? Damn.

He has declined a lot since he was the most dominant player in the game. Some of the ratings seem off, like Al Horford being the top rated player in the entire rookie class over Oden and Durant. Monta Ellis does look like he's rated too high, but due to his size that wont mean much when the actual game is played because he wont be able to go to the basket too often or hell get blocked. Some of the ratings aint quite right, but they are definitely better than Live's ratings and its going to be the best NBA game on the market again.

 

[I. Cold]

stackhouse is the 20th best sg? no...

 

[KillaClown]

Its nice to see Grant Hill off the bench bangin' at 80. Not bad considering the amount of attention he doesn't get these days. He's gonna be on the Phoenix roster right?

 

[XxtraMannish]

stackhouse is the 20th best sg? no...

21. Raja Bell: 79
22. Cuttino Mobley: 78
23. Juan Carlos Navarro: 78
24. Anthony Parker: 78
25. Marco Belinelli: 78

which of them would you rate higher? 20 seems fair given who is behind him.

 

[hella_numb]

al horford is the most nba ready rookie coming out. he probably got a lot more experience points then oden or durant thats why his rating is higher.

 

[coondogg26]

where is randy foye on this list?

 

[XxtraMannish]

al horford is the most nba ready rookie coming out. he probably got a lot more experience points then oden or durant thats why his rating is higher.

No, Jeff Green is the most NBA ready. Horford is going to be very good though.

 

[hella_numb]

No, Jeff Green is the most NBA ready. Horford is going to be very good though.

hows green the most nba ready? did you watch the final four? green dissappeared, and what did horford do? lead his team to back-to-back championships.

 

[XxtraMannish]

^^^Al Horford played on a team which included how many of this years draft picks? In fact didn't Horford's BACKUP get drafted? That should tell you something about how deep the Gators were before the draft. Jeff Green played on a team with how many of this year's draft picks. Horford didn't win the title by himself. No single player does. Jeff Green has the most complete skill set of anybody in the rookie class this year. I don't doubt that Horford could turn into a better player than Green, but as of right now, Jeff Green's skill set and well rounded game make him the most NBA ready RIGHT NOW.
