interesting article about lebron james's overall rating in nba video games.What’s a programmer to do, though, when James keeps getting better and better after years of being ranked 98 or 99 out of 100 as a video game participant? A cool hundred?

Eliminate overall ratings?
Here's the actual silly article Dwyer is working from for his silly article:
http://extramustard.si.com/2013/07/17/l ... =uk_t2_a11And I'm pretty sure this:
Going over 100 is not unprecedented. When the NBA Live series brought back Michael Jordan for the first time in nearly a decade in NBA Live 2000 (due to licensing issues and Jordan’s alpha male status, he had been missing from NBA video games throughout most of the 90s), his Airness’s rating, depending on how hot he was, ranged between 106 to 109.
Isn't true.
And as should be clear to anyone who's even looked at the ratings in either game they work more like a percentile system than an infinite unbounded series.

One think I like about Kobe is his demeanor he is conceited because he has confidence in his game. I can see Lebron slowly turning into that kind of a player through his interview. He has alot more confidence in himself. As a lakers fan, much respect to Lebron and how he carries himself. Lebron does flop a bit, where as Kobe plays straight up 1980's basketball, but Lebron is definitely a beast.

every category should take into consideration the one player in history who did that one thing better than anyone else, give that guy a 100, then rate everyone based on how they compare to the best. for example if you consider vince carter the best dunker in the history of the game you set him as the 100 (not current) and rate everyone else based on how they would compare to carter at his prime. this is just my opinion though. right now the ratings are just whatever they feel like every year

You are correct. It always maxed out at 99.

The problem with rating is that they tend to justify the hype for players like Rudy Gay, Joe Johnson, and Andre Drummond. Why not base on actual statistics that are readily available at b-r or hoopdata whatever. Players behavious, tendency, potential could be measured rather more accurately than mere ppg/apg/rpg.

You didn't just mention Drummond with Johnson & Gay? That guy is going to dominate in a couple of years.

The article is retarded for it doesn't account inaccurate ratings - the formula/equation the devs used (2K Insider lololol) to translate the players' real life court production to videogame attributes or individual attributes being given more weight in overall ratings like how athleticism ratings give a significant bump to overall rating or just plain inaccurate data like those based on athleticism or offensive/defensive awareness or those basketball 'intangibles'.
