With the release nearing and copies starting to find their way out I thought it would be a good time to list off all the player ratings in NBA Live 09. I also wanted to make sure to get in all the FIBA rosters and ratings which I know a lot of people are interested in.
As I’ve gone through the ratings it has become evident that All-Star caliber players tend to fall in the 82-90 range with the only players above 90 being true superstars. While the overalls may seem low, relatively speaking they seem pretty well balanced. Because there are so many ratings categories that factor into the overall you can’t really base their performance off that number. A player who is somewhat one dimensional may have a lower overall but still excel at what their strengths are. For example, OJ Mayo is a 75 but I’ve found him to be a very good offensive player.
Continue on to view the (current as of today) rosters and overall ratings including FIBA teams along with a list of individual ratings categories. Remember that these will be changing on a daily basis once the season starts.
While I only list out the overalls there are a ton of individual specific categories that tie into that number. They are:
Athleticism- quickness, acceleration, vertical, conditioning, lateral quickness, recovery quickness, strength, first step, dribble speed, rebounding strength, post strength
Inside- inside shooting likelihood, inside shooting ability, layup/dunk aggressiveness, dunk, dunk vs layup frequency, layup ability, layup in traffic, dunk/layup shot off, put-backs, scoring with contact, drawing defensive foul, penetration effectiveness, hands in post, offensive rebounding IQ, offensive sink or swim, offensive box out, post savvy, offensive post footwork
Outside- 3pt shooting likelihood, outside shooting ability, mid-range shooting likelihood, mid-range shooting ability, free throw ability, shooting touch, clutch, shooter’s mentality, hands on perimeter, triple threat effectiveness
Defense- foul mistakes, defensive rebounding strength, defensive rebounding IQ, defensive sink or swim, defensive box out, on-ball effectiveness, shot block, shot alter, steal, interception, double team ability, tenacity, drawing offensive foul, pass lane defense effectiveness, help-side effectiveness, close out effectiveness, hedging the screen, fighting through the screen, defensive post footwork, defensive post strength
Teamwork- mental toughness, hustle, go-to-guy, court vision, pass accuracy, difficult pass ability, dribbling, double team composure, setting screens, using screens, off-ball awareness, fastbreak anticipation
