Posted September 21st, 2008 at 10:17 am

Operation Sports has now posted NBA 2K9 screenshots of each team’s full roster. The screenshots display the player’s overall ratings along with the grades for the following categories: inside shooting, outside shooting, perimeter defense, post defense, ball handling, rebounding, IQ, and athleticism. You can check out the screens here.

As always there will be some questionable ratings which will be heavily discussed. Be sure to leave your thoughts on them in the comments.

    T-mac avg like 21 ppg this year while Melo had like 25ppg, so i can sorta see where 2k was comin from but some of their ratings are just straight up BS

    hopefully 2k will update the ratings when it comes out

    ok but points aren’t everything in your game…t-mac averaged more assists, and had at least 5 rebounds…and look at t-macs playoff stats compared to Carmelo’s

    t- mac – 28 ppg 8 reb 6.8 assists assists

    melo – 22ppg 9 reb 2 assists

    idk i jus think t-mac doesn’t get full credit sometimes but its w/e i guess

    @WOW

    I agree man they hurt his stats eveyr year, even yao has a higher rating, dont get me wrong the rockets are my fav team but damn YAO missed 48 games last year, TMAC didnt get credit for the 22 game win streak, neither did Scola, landry, or rafer. All their ratings are the same or lower then last years game. N 2 place carmelo above TMAC is rediculous, expecially since he hasnt gotten ne better since he been in the league. He the same player they drafted. His work ethic isnt worth shh. I mean look at him he doesnt play D, i kno everybdy seen the Olympics?!?! Half the time his man on the perimeter blew right by him. But i digress…………….. lol

    These ratings suck ass.
    Chris Paul & Lebron wouldn’t be rated 99 if their mothers did the ratings yet these idiots at 2k have 4 people rated 99. What a joke. Do these ratings even mean shit anymore? Lebron’s d ratings being so overrated is rediculous as well.
    Thank god for 2k share or nba 2k.8 wouldn’t be worth 2 shits.

    No, Rose really showed me alot last year. As far as actually being a PG and getting his team involved then taking over at the right time. OJ not so much. You cant really compare beasley ratings wise because u gotta factor in reb, blks, even so Beasley is a monster so he should be rated higher

    Man that pic of ugly ass Kirilenko is spot on. I don’t understand why so many people trip off the ratings, theres always gonna be different opinions on who should be rated higher or lower. If you don’t like them just change them when you get the game.

    The ratings are pretty accurate. 2k sports have already said that these are “living rosters”. So it’s a “new” rating system. How come you kids cannot comprehend this simple concept? Why do you kids still think the rating system is like the past? Do somebody have to tell you this 1,000,000 times before you guys get this in your pee brains? These are LIVING ROSTERS!! GET IT? Melo should be rated a little higher than T-Mac at this point. T-Mac is injury prone, and going into his 12 season. He’s on the decline folks. Melo is on the incline, get it? Melo isn’t even in his prime yet and he’s a high scoring guy. And I don’t even like Melo, I think he’s pretty immature to be honest. Another thing, Lebron overrated? Yeah right. Lebron can’t hit 3′s? lol..to funny, obviously you guys haven’t watched a lot of games. Anytime a player get’s double team and triple team and still avg. 30 ppg, 7reb. 7ast, then that means that player is pretty sick. and Lebron still hasn’t peeked….When he does, then what? 35ppg, 9 rebs, 9 ast? INSANE!!!!!!

    These are living rosters so young players are going to get the nod over players on the decline, like VC and T-Mac. This is why Yao is giving the nod over T-mac…MIng is not declining like T-mac. Also, the ratings are position based. Meaning if Kidd is a 92, that’s based on point guards only. This is why Kidd is 92, and Dirk is a 91. Dirk is based a 91 among his peers. Same with Yao getting a 94. There is no other better center. Get it? Comprehend?

    I got some flash cards for you kids

    “Living rosters”, “new rating system”, “ratings are position based”……come on, it’s not that hard people.

    Dude, you can’t call people out and have you’re facts all f’d up. You don’t even seem to comprehend 2K’s meaning of living rosters.

    I’m not a big T-Mac fan ( since he’s become less aggressive) but he’s still a beast and so is Melo. But to say T-Mac in on the downside show’s your ignorance to the game. MJ if you recall didn’t reach his full potential until he was in his 30′s. You may want to fallow this link to get your facts straight. Just because a player is older than the next guy doesn’t put him on the decline, thats why teams pick up veteran players!
