Comments Sort by
He averaged 5.0 bpg this season and has the most blocks in Chicago Bulls history. Yet 2k gives him a 65 block
Artis Gilmore with an MVP card has 65 block?80 Stn Dunk?54 Shot contest?91 Strength? Did 2k even watch any of his games? He doesn't even have any badges?Rebounding badges?Posterizer?Eraser? REALLY 2K??
They didn't need to watch all they need to do is simply read stats and see that he averaged 5 blocks a game.
This was the 72 season blocks weren't a stat until 73 but still block should be 99
Show 2 replies...Then why does it show his block total on Basketball Reference lol
could someone help with my lineup thanks :)http://2kmtcentral.com/16/lineups/574102/my-updated-team
RANT TIME
1) How the [email protected] can you release important players and forget to put badges on them...OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
2) 54 shot contest turns him from a 7'2 MVP into mostly useless on Defense. No other Big Man amethyst (except Cowens which I'm sure they screwed up too) has a shot contest anywhere nearly as low.
3) 65 Block? He averaged 2.4 bpg for his career, 15th best of all time! Meanwhile 2K thinks there's hundreds of better blockers than him.
The perfect exemple of how 2k aren t doing their job seriously. This has to stop...
I see 2K has updates his badges. If only they'd do that to the shot contest.
What badges did he end up with?
I only saw a few that I liked for example Brick Wall. I run plays from time to time so Brick Wall is excellent to have.
Ok only an 80 standing dunk wth 2k
That's all he did offensively most of the time.
True he won a slam dunk contest around this year smh
WOAH, the first slam dunk was in 1984, larry nance
Show 4 replies...there were aba dunk contests you dingus
julius erving won that you dingus
Which means that 65 dunk is a freakin disgrace
Show 1 reply...the 65 driving is fine, the standing dunk should be higher(90 minimum). that noob @UniqueJalts insulted me for correcting @mdtheballer that he never won a slam dunk contest
If your not going to give us improved block and shot contest ratings 2K, or badges, at least give us an Artis with the same afro as in this picture. He can be an 8 foot monster with that afro. His hair will block the ball for him.
how is he not 99 strength???
Only one player can have 99 strength and they gave it to Shaq, personally I think Wilt should have got it.
This guy boxed out kareem with one arm... ONE ARM!
Show 9 replies...It most likely because he has 1 arm he doesn't get it, that one arm may be stronger than any other players one arm... but they all have two.
my right arm is much stronger than my left, if you know what i mean. @Zane1914 @NBA_2K16_FOR_LIFE @Jayhawk123

Just watch it...
Finally someone else gets that Gilmore was strong as hell
Robert Parish said the strongest center he ever played against was Gilmore
This comes from a guy who was starting against young Shaq
That video is great, the only problem is that well, Kareem never was a strong player, if he played in today's NBA literally all you would hear about him would be "soft"
I am assuming this is going to be updated, there is no way this guys Block should be a 65, and the fact that there is no badges there either.
am i the only one who misses all his free throws with this card but make them with wilt and shaq?
same overall as wilt
*Same overall as OLD Wilt.
13ppg Wilt.
MVP Artis Gilmore is better then old Wilt.
Actually around this season (1972) there was an NBA vs ABA all-star game, old Wilt was against this Artis and he dominated him, there is footage on youtube
Show 15 replies...1v1 in a single game isn't a fair reflection tbf
No I mean in a 5 v 5 team game. Wilt and Artis were guarding each other. Wilt dominated Artis.
Thats what I meant but phrased it horribly
How dominated was Artis? Any stats?
There is footage on youtube
wilt dickrider lol wilt isnt top 10 athletic bball player bro
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=5124581
um ok
you said he wasn't athletic....
"Additionally, as these players have not been released there is a reasonable chance that 2K will change their ratings some time closer to release (if they are being released at all), so don't start complaining immediately if you find ratings that seem wrong."
Do you think they will update his block and standing dunk?
Show 3 replies...no the mvp cards have already been updated
the forgotten bull
Actually he played for Kentucky when he won his MVP. Have no idea why 2k has updated the card art.
Should I get Artis Gilmore or MVP Moses Malone?
You should get Vince Carter. I'm joking it but i would get MVP Malone.
Ok cheers I just thought maybe Artis Gilmores height and better rebounding might help
Show 4 replies...Yeah agree with you it depends want type of guy you want on your team.
They both have pretty similar attributes so I'll just go for the one that is cheaper once they are released
Artis was an MVP... This is news to me
They shouldn't have given him an MVP card. He won this MVP while he was in the ABA and not even on the Bulls.
His block, standing dunk, strenght needs to be upgraded. Also, where is his badges? Eraser, Bruiser, Posterizer etc. I just pulled him. I was over the moon actually because he is freakin' Artis. Then I saw that he hasn't got any badges.
Gilmore, Malone or Walton?
@Zane1914 @Jayhawk123 @ianstp @VinceCarter @Duvangrgata1
I got all three from m the same box. Lol
Oh wow nice. I'm not sure whether to open a box or get MVP Durant and one of those three. Buying is safer but I'm seeing people get multiple amethysts and diamonds in the same box and others getting nothing.
Show 7 replies...Yeah I hear you. Gonna buy one more box using food money. I need to diet anyway lol. But I really really want a diamond Tim Duncan because there are so few great pf. Can't complain though. Any idea on why he didn't get badges and when they give him some? They did the same to Aguirre. Come on 2k pull your head from somewhere the sun don't shine.
I just opened one pack with VC and pulled MVP Durant but I already bought him for cheap so I'm selling him and I'll buy either Malone or Walton and a box or Rose
Dang what system you on? I got another DRose and arris. Lol
Wow lucky. I bought Rose and I'm gonna buy Malone or Walton now. I'm on Xbox what about you?
Same now I have 2 Gilmores on the block lol
Give me a snipe price haha. I'm trying to snipe a Malone or Walton for 10-13K
I'm really unsure why too. Duncan should definitely have more than 20 badges and I agree he's one of the best PF's in the game. Other players like Dave Cowens have no badges at all so I imagine there will be badge and maybe even stat updates soon to fix things up. I've bought MVP Iverson and now MVP Durant and am gonna buy MVP Walton or Malone if they come up cheap. The rest I'll spend on packs.
I don't really know how this guy will turn out in terms of intercepting the ball. He has 98 pass perception but only a 54 reaction time, so who knows.
Who should I get I need a center
Gilmore , jermaine , Willis or Walton ? Help me out
If your not looking for a primary scorer I'd get Gilmore. He's still a very good scorer in the post because of his size but he is also a very good rebounder and defender with 98 pass perception.
Anybody have any input or suggestions between MVPs Gilmore, Malone, Reed or Walton? Thanks!
Reed gets a lot of green releases at the top of the key. Gilmore was soft for me, played like a gold
I am thinking about getting either him or another amythest center to my lineup, but I am not sure who. Here is my lineup, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

way to overrated
Is it just me or his block rating seems much higher in game?
me too, he blocks like crazy in game thanks to his height and vertical. i just ignore the number since he blocks even better than a 90 block player.
I completely agree, he denies everyone
Possible post-release update? I'm hopeful
Still 65 :(. But as said above, feels wayy more
Damn 2k back at it again with the crappy attributes
