NBA 2k14 is set to be released on October 1st, and player ratings are starting to leak out. The game has long been one of the most fun sports games to play on the market, and though there are no new features that stick out too much in this iteration, NBA 2k14 comes with much fanfare after some stellar reception across the web.
Looking down the list, the first two names make a lot of sense and seem to have a pair of fair ratings. Then it gets a little murkier. That's right, Aaron Brooks, the player cut by the Kings late last season, who is barely the third best point guard on the roster, rates out as the third best player on the entire roster at 77. At 77, Brooks has a higher rating than the entire Orlando Magic roster.
This habit of overvaluing veterans is one seen all throughout the game. Stephen Jackson, the same player that shot 37% from the floor with an abominable PER of 8.09 last year, rates out as a 78. Yes, a player cut by the Spurs late last year has a higher rating than Chandler Parsons, Jeremy Lin, and Omer Asik. Gotcha.
But getting back to the Rockets, the ratings get simply wonky as you keep going down the list. Lin, Parsons, and Beverley seem fairly reasonably rated where they are, but then Marcus Camby appears above Omer Asik. What is this, 2006? Omer Asik was one of the league's top centers on defense and on the boards, and Camby battled injuries as a 39 year old and made just 17 shots all year. Yes, he used to be a tremendous player in a similar role to Asik, but the Rockets aren't expecting much from Camby and neither should 2k14.
Finally, getting to the young guns at the bottom, it all seems like a bit of a crapshoot. Donatas Motiejunas could easily justify his 58 rating with a disappointing season, but I also think there's a fairly solid chance he or Terrence Jones will be playing decently well in a starting role in a couple of months. Their ratings seem a bit low, and Isaiah Canaan, a second round pick, seems to be a bit high with a lot of questions about his ability to run an NBA offense.
At the end of the day, we're talking about ratings on a fictional video game and it's not worth getting too mad over. Still, it seems like the 2K guys could at least look at some tape before they assign the ratings. I'm not so sure they'd reach the same conclusions with a second look.
Any number of fantasies about the future danced in my head back in the weeks leading up to the October 1st , 2013 release of NBA 2k14. I geared up for another year of playing a distasteful amount of virtual basketball in the well-worn confines of 2k's Association and My Player modes. But, while combing through all the previews surrounding the game I stumbled upon a new feature called, "LeBron: Path to Greatness".
Most sports fans like myself are suckers for speculation. The 24 hour media cycle demands that we daydream about these roster transactions and speculate on how all of the pieces will fit together. This sort of tea leaf divining has driven a huge part of the sports blog cottage industry that we all hastily consume every day. So, of course I was in on this mode from the word go.
This LeBron specific mode focused on two branching paths: 1. Stay with the Miami Heat and create a new dynasty. (Harrumph!) Or 2. Help LeBron travel the NBA landscape on a "Fantastic Journey" and face some ridiculous challenges that only basketball junkies like myself would entertain. Needless to say, the A button nearly broke in trying to see what was up with option 2.
About an hour in, I was thrust into an Eastern Conference Championship game against an unretired Allen Iverson and his Philadelphia 76ers. My nostalgia reliably overflowed but something was still missing. The Cleveland Cavaliers were still despondent in real life and no video game "What If?" scenarios were going to change that.
About a year later all that changed with James' letter and ensuing return. That Friday afternoon when I woke up from my nap to check my cell phone, which might has well been levitating because of all the vibration, felt like one of the scenarios from the game.
This postseason has been an emotional roller coaster that I have never seen before in my short time here in Cleveland when compared with family and friends who were born and raised here. We had Kevin Love get his arm broken, J.R. Smith get suspended, Derrick Rose punch the city in the gut, LeBron roundhouse Chicago's dreams the next game, Delly emerge and then bury the Bulls, Kyrie get hurt, More Delly dust-ups and The Cavs dismantle the Hawks in the last month.
I still cannot believe the Cavs are in the Finals. But, we are here now. The whole city sees we have a chance to win the title I've heard whispered of in hushed tones since the moment my mother moved back to Cleveland in the summer of 2004.
In year two of this grand experiment, the game has LeBron square off with the Golden State Warriors in a year where the media is fixated on his declining athleticism. You complete this challenge to show the doubters that greatness doesn't have an expiration date and even without the same firepower of past years, James can still get it done.
Who would have thought almost two years later that the Cavaliers would be staring down a similar obstacle in real life? Most experts have them taking 2 games at most in this series. I believe that just like in the game that LeBron's fantastic journey this year will have a happy ending.
