That is why I have an issue with the way 2K Insider works. He works backwards. He determines what he wants a player's overall to be, THEN he does each individual attribute. It should be the other way around. If Dirk comes out to a 79 because he is a poor defensive player and average rebounder, then don't boost his rebounding and defense just so his overall reaches an 84.
so how would you rate mj?
dunking - among the greatest of all time
jumping - among the greatest of all time
mid range shooting - among the greatest of all time
inside scoring - among the greatest of all time for a GUARD
three point shooting - above average
passing - well above average
defense - among the greatest of all time
steals - among the greatest of all time
blocking shots - among the greatest of all time for a GUARD (see his early days)
rebounding - among the greatest of all time for a GUARD
clutch factor - the greatest of all time
so taking all that into context i wouldnt mind seeing mj as a 99 or 98
the only low scores would be on rebounding and shot blocking ,because hes a guard not a big man
and maybe three point shooting because he didnt take many and revisionist history says he wasnt a great three point shooter.
but i watched him play and i know if your gameplan was to make mj take threes you will lose.
id like to see your ratings on mj dc
