NBA2K18 has everyone shook!
NBA2K18让你兴奋了吗？
LeBron James VS Kevin Durant
勒布朗詹姆VS凯文杜兰特
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant beat LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA title last season — and won NBA Finals MVP — so he's probably not worried about video-game bragging rights.
刚刚过去的赛季，凯文杜兰特在顶上战争击败勒布朗詹姆斯并夺得NBA最有价值球员。——所以也许他不用担心在2K里面没有吹水的权利啦。
Even so, KD couldn't quite clip James in "NBA 2K18." We learned earlier this month that Durant garnered a 96 overall rating, equaling James' rating in last year's edition of the game. But, as Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade revealed Tuesday, James was bumped up to a 97 this year:
但即便如此，KD也无法再2K18里跟詹姆斯并驾齐驱。这个月早些时候我们知道杜兰特的总评分已经达到96分，等于詹姆斯在去年版本的评分了。但据芝加哥公牛队后卫德维恩韦德在周四透露，詹姆斯今年的评分已经升到97分。
Now with a ring on his resume, we're guessing Durant isn't quite as bothered as Joel Embiid was by his own rating.
现在履历上多了一枚总冠军戒指，我们猜杜兰特不会像大帝那样为自己的评分而那样苦恼。
Wade, meanwhile, would obviously like to be closer to the level of James, his former teammate. But at least he has a sense of humor about the matter. The same can't be said about a few other veterans who found their virtual selves to be underrated.
韦德，显然也是接近他的前队友詹姆斯那一个级别的球员。但他至少对此事（评分只有84分）很有幽默感，其他一些发现自己虚拟的角色被低估的老兵就不能说出这样的话来。

Meet the Brains Behind the NBA 2K18 Player Ratings
能力值评估过程
As 2K readies the release of NBA 2K18 in mid-September, the company has been methodically revealing player ratings for some of the biggest names in the sport on Twitter, unveilings that have become as anticipated as who's next to perish on Game of Thrones.
NBA2K公司准备在九月中旬发布2K18，而且已经有条不紊地在推特上公布一些最大牌球星的评分，这些球星都是外界预期将会下个赛季NBA权利的游戏中主宰沉浮的人物。
As debates over Kevin Durant's being a 96 or Gordon Hayward's earning an 88 fly every which way, it's all still a little surreal to the man behind the calculations.
关于杜兰特变成96的评分或是海沃德获得88评分的争论飞遍了大街小溪。这所有一切对背后计算的人来说还是有一点超现实。
The NBA lockout ahead of the 2011-12 season not only chopped a handful of games off the regular-season schedule, but it prevented every rookie who was drafted that summer from appearing in NBA 2K.
NBA在2011-2012赛季的停摆不仅切掉了一小撮常规赛比赛，也让那个夏天被选中的新秀无法出现在NBA2K里面。
Frustrated, Stauffer populated each rookie himself, turning his creations into a downloadable roster update available to anyone who played the game. It blew up. Stauffer's rookie class was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, making enough of a splash for 2K to reach out to him and bring him in for an interview. And that was that.
沮丧的斯托弗让每个新秀都落户于他本人名下，把他的作品变成可被下载，可供任何玩家更新使用。这就炸了。斯托弗的菜鸟班被下载了上千次，这足以让2K的人认识并接触到他，并带他去面试。就是那样！
"We rate all the individual attributes, and whatever we put through our formulas that we constantly tweak gives us an overall value. I'm proud of what the results are. I think we get a pretty accurate representation of how good these players are and their different skill sets."
我们对所有单个的属性进行评估，不管我们放上怎样的公式上去，都会不断微调，从而得到每个球员一个全方位的总值。我们对出来的结果感到很骄傲。我想我们已经很准确地表现出这些球员的实力以及他们不同的技术设定。
"LeBron is rated high, but he need to be better in the game. He's too easy to be guarded," Boyd says. "And as far as constantly underrated? I'd go with Devin Booker."
“勒布朗的评分很高，但他需要在比赛中做得更好。他太容易被防住了。”博伊德说。至于被不断低估？我会跟德文布克一起去。”
How the game treats "specialists" like Tony Allen and Kyle Korver so that their ratings better reflect the value they bring to their respective teams, even if their numerical stats don't. Manning, 2K's community manager, browses Twitter, interacts on 2K's Reddit and fan sites like Operation Sports and then shares influential gamers' ratings opinions with Stauffer.
那游戏是如何评估“专长生”如托尼阿伦跟科沃尔以便评分能更好地反映他们带给各自球队的价值，即使他们的数据统计没有表现出来。2K的社区经理曼宁会浏览推特，在Reddit的2K区，其他的粉丝网站如Opreation Sporrts上跟网友互动，然后跟斯托弗一起分享影响玩家等级的观点。
