He has done nothing in the past two seasons to show that he's returning to form. Looks like he's just a case of an injury downgrading a player's ability. Nothing we can do about it. He's a decent player, but don't expect him to even scratch the surface of RJ's numbers last season.
I looked at all the ratings and they look a little suspect. I still don't know how Greg Oden can be injured all last season and have a +3 rating increase.
Yeah they looked like they were tampered. ^^ Also my gamertag is RELIEVE on xbox live. So hit me up to get an ass-whooppin.
I'm glad you're not a game developer. However, if you choose to buy it, it's your game and you can edit the stats the way you see fit.
Don't like my ratings? How about you post yours? What have the rookies proved in the NBA? Nothing. Why should they a 75 rating if they haven't done anything yet. I'm not jumping on the Yi bandwagon just because he joined the Nets. He crapped his pants during the Olympics, and didn't do much in Milwaukee either. If he was a regular old American prospect, he wouldn't be overrated by so many people. For Simmons, see my previous post. Swift sucks. So does Ager. BTW, I've grown so disenchanted with NBA games that I rarely play them anymore. Let alone waste 60 bucks to buy them.
You put Sean Williams as the 3rd best player on the Nets. That kind of undermine your credibility. Williams couldn't even out play the rookies at summer league. So, where is this sudden boost in skill coming from? I was happy with 2k8. So, I'll be buying 2k9. Also, the stats and the summary isn't that big a deal. If you play season mode you can train the players to raise them. If you play online, player skill > stats.
As I said, I won't be giving out 75's to rookies, and the rest of the bunch other than Dooling and Boone (who I gave 1 less than Williams) aren't up to par with him. Face it: the Nets suck this year. Sean Williams could be the third best player on the team this year. So could Boone, Dooling, Yi and Lopez.
This game updates daily to real time stats. The sad thing his rating might dip even lower. So if he gets pissed now just imagine when the game drops in OCT. I think he sucks anyway, will see how he does without Will.
actually thats Live that updates daily according to stats.... 2k8 will just update accordingly lets say Carter goes on a rampage for a week or two expect a jump in ratings... i dont agree with all of the overall ratings but the individual ratings looks good to me..(shot close, rebounds etc)
Just updated http://www.sportsgamer.com/sports/basketball/ This shows the numerical values of the players stats, just look for the links (it should be in the main page slide show) So far they have ratings for PG, SG, and SF

can't wait, pre-orderd it today actually. traded in about 4 ps3 games and got a measly $26!? who's that cowboy doing commentary? he has kenny smith's exact lines, they really need a new scriptwriter.
Just got this today. Nets are not bad. I played as Nets vs Knicks (cpu), Yi had 28 points and Swat had 4 blocks. Carter had a break away dunk. Lopez got some nice rebounds as starting center. Also, played 5v5 online. When it's not laggy, it's a ton of fun. Nothing serious, just testing it out.
best basketball game hands down... started my association...3 games in here are some stats first game against the wizards...it was pretty much a great defensive effort by the nets, carter being dominant and arenas not making anything... Carter 42 pts (18-39fg) 10ast Harris 20pts 7 reb 15ast Yi 14pts 6 reb 3blks Swat 10pts 9 reb 5 stl 4 blks Lopez 10pts 6 reb 2 blks bench Dooling 8pts in 8 mins Arenas had 39pts...14-39fg...3-13 3's Butler 20pts Stevenson 14pts then i did two trades to help improve the team now... and yes Marbury and Ben Gordon are on the block around the nba but i got...Sheed' in exchange for Simmons, Hassell and the 09 1st rounder.. i figured i had enough young talent so i wanted some more vets to help get in a win now mode.. wasnt dont there... traded Swift, Ager and the 09 2nd rounder for Mike Miller which moved Swat and Lopez to the bench as the 6th and 7th men.. Harris,Miller,Carter,Yi,Sheed next game killed the Warriors... and then the suns murdered me...the nets still dont defend the 3pt line!! Nash 3-7, Barnes 7-13 and Bell 8-13...Bell couldnt miss going 20-28 and had 49pts... but ya im enjoying this game!
