Who is more accurate IYO?
What players are over/underrated in both?
Do the folks at EA really believe Dirk is NOT top 25?

 

[teruterubozu]

Taking me way too long to "turn the pages" on IGN... echhhh!

 

[Blackace]

Kobe is overrated in both games... but 2k6 has him at number 4? he isn't even the best 2g let alone the 4th best player in the league..

 

[teruterubozu]

I don't know about KG being the best player in Live. Duncan should rank higher like in 2K.

 

[bdoughty]

2K6 with the win. Tim Duncan deserves to be the highest rated player.

NBA Live has him #5. Boo...

Off the top of my head T-Mac..

 

[bdoughty]

Whoa... NBA Live 06 with the ultimate sin. No Steve Nash in the top 25? The MVP from last yea? Yet they have Manu on that list? Even a Spur fan like myself laughs at that one. Manu is good, but he is no Steve Nash.


Do the Live 06 devs watch basketball? At least 2K6 got him in at 13 and ahead of Manu.

 

[teruterubozu]

Probably more hockey than b-ball in Canada!

 

[Blackace]

AI, Ray Allen, Wade... but you already knew that in your blind fanboy rage..

 

[bdoughty]

Yea and Steve Nash is................................. Canadian, all the more reason to list him.

 

[teruterubozu]

Ridiculous right?

What's even more silly is NBA Live 06 has the new passing system inspired by Nash...

..and fail to make the playoffs.

That crappy team wouldn't have won 25 without him...

Off the top of my head T-Mac..

Firstly, T-Mac did not play SG last year. BTW he dropped 25.7/6.2/5.7 compared to Kobe's 27.6/5.9/6 Try again

But back to the ratings. Let's not make this a KB8 thread :lol

you just asked for anything close...

but besides Kobe being ranked too high.. (Vin Baker also ruled on a weak team) NBA 2K6 seems to be a bit more around what I think of the players..

 

[teruterubozu]

Which is why Kobe has "one-man-team" stats compared to other SGs and I don't see that changing.

Anyway, yes, back to the thread.

 

[BorkBork]

2k6: Kidd over Nash?!
No... just no.

Live: Francis over Iverson?! WTF.

 

[Cloudy]

I think AI is underrated in both games and Wade is ridiculously overrated. How are Bron or Wade better than T-Mac and AI? :lol

 

[Blackace]

Bron 3s are waaaaaay overrated in 2k6... Davis is underrated too.. Kidd is better than NAsh to the person who just started watching basketball last year..

 

[Cloudy]

Kidd is better than NAsh to the person who just started watching basketball last year..

I was about to say that :lol

Also, how is Marion #7 according to Live with Dirk OUT of the top 25? Are they just looking at the best fantasy players or what?

 

[bdoughty]

Well I am starting to think NBA Live's overall # is pretty usless for white guys who can't jump. Poor Nash was an overall 75, this year bumping up 10 points to 85 overall. The only thing that looks to kill his numers are the Jump/Dunk stats. Which is a good example as to why the overall rating in the grand scheme of things is pretty worthless.

Why is Marion even on the list?

Anybody see the NBA Live commercial, it looks like they showed the 360 shots instead. Same thing they did with Tiger Woods.

Is it using new stuff or the same Sonics/Pistons video?

 

[Zep]

Nah, it showed D.Wade dunking. I swear it didnt look like the Live screenshots i've been seeing.

Im gonna keep it on MadTV and see if the commercial pops up again before class.

MadTV on Comedy Central? What timezone do you live in? Ill try to catch it here on the west coast

Too bad I dont have anything to record the commercial, but I'll check it out.

DM, you should probably look for the commercial around 3:30 your time, if you can. Since your 3 hours behind me, they would should show the commercial again.

 

[datruth29]

Andrei Kirilenko at #10 in the Live listings?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Truelize]

Both of those lists are seriously messed up. I'm a big fan of Lebron but there is no way he is the third best player in the league. And then Wade at number 5? Wow. Ray Allen not even top 15? Dirk not even in the top 25 for Live. Niether is Nash? Wow.
Yeah it looks like if you can't fly in for dunk contest dunks then you are rated poorly. That's too bad.
2K looks like the better list of the two, but there are problems with both.

Ray Allen ranked lower than Baron Davis baffles me.

 

[DMczaf]

I just saw it, and yup that was 360 but it only had like 1-2 secs of footage so I couldnt see that many details :lol

 

[Ramirez]

Call me when Kobe can carry an complete average team to the finals like Iverson did,AI is still pound for pound the best player in the league,suck it down ladies.
