    That's right, it appears the editors over at EA Sports thought it was fine to substitute Babbitt and his glorious locks for a retired NFL player, Hines Ward. How one goes from the picture at the top of the article to their result is beyond comprehension.

    Were there such recent detrimental budget costs that eliminated not only knowledgeable basketball minds but common sense altogether? When EA's editors went through the database looking for errors, did they all agree their selection was close enough to the real Luke Babbitt?

    Actually after thinking about this, it really must have pissed off Hines Ward

    This is what happens when you outsource your game development to India.

    Somewhere, Luke Babbit is celebrating, thinking this is his pass to be able to use the N-word.

    Today... this is close enough, he's not a Blazer & when he was he wasn't any good; this IS exactly as I remember him... I don't:ygrin: This guy (on the left) looks like he's carrying some extra water weight in his face, probably needs to ramp up his offseaon workouts some.

    89 overall on Live15. Good eye sheedfan. Interesting he gets such a huge bump just for joining the Spurs. He must be the highest rate PF in the game now, last season Griffin and Love were both rated 91.

    Robin Lopez is rated like 84 in this game too. 2k does it too, as I said in another topic Wes is rated higher than he ever was on the Blazers suddenly after leaving here and having a major injury no one comes back 100% from. As for current players I believe Plumlee was a 79 by the end of last season in 2k15 on Brooklyn, and he's suddenly a 74 on the Blazers right now in 2k16.

    Seems like joining blazers is automatic -5 on that game.

    So typical for the Blazers, never get any love. If LeBron joined us he'd go from a 99 to like a 94 lol.

    You guys on twitter should make a big deal about this ratings bull shit. Expose the nba and ea sports for being anti blazers.
