Shot Contest isn't that big a deal since Crowder isn't a shot blocker.
On the other hand, 90 Pass Perception (position average: 67) is pretty significant.

Pass Perception
95 Paul Millsap
95 Rajon Rondo
95 Kyle Lowry
95 Stephen Curry
94 Anthony Davis
92 Russell Westbrook
92 Draymond Green
92 John Wall
90 LeBron James
90 Jae Crowder
90 Ricky Rubio

1. Melo had a better passing season in 2012.
2. 2K updates ratings regularly which means Melo likely had a decrease in assist rate.
3. 70 Passing Vision to 20.2 AST% means Melo is rated above scale (i.e. he is overrated).

Passing Vision
71 Jerian Grant (21.8 AST%)
71 Jose Calderon (21.5 AST%)
70 Carmelo Anthony (20.2 AST%)

Welp

2.) Why 2k never touched his (Melo) FT ratings yet? dude is at a 79 since release day. has been at 88% for first 2 months of season and now is at 84%

FT% is outdated for most players. Typically, this gets updated league-wide in one fell swoop.

Not true in the slightest; online play has always been the primary goal of the ratings updates. Not especially helpful to offline players, but "literally" "worthless"?

You are mistaken. Blesdoe is 86 OVR and has been that rating for a month. He started the year at 82 OVR FWIW.

Nice catch. These appear to be major data entry typos that 2K will likely fix upon review.

2K's rebound ratings have largely been PERFECT this season as this is the first year ever they have actually followed their own scales across the board. As such I would dismiss this as an aberration that should be rectified shortly (i.e. when it is noticed)... of course, if it's not, you know who to go after.

Can someone tell me if they fixed the Bucks court? Pretty sure I know the answer. Hoping to be surprised one of these days.

When Czar asked a while back to provide examples, I thought "finally, it's gonna happen".

Basically, the Pacers are the 2006-2007 Lebron-led Cavs team...which is an historic team, lol.

While I would consider all of the rotation players underrated...

76 Monta
76 Hill
76 Miles
75 Mahinmi
74 Hill
73 Stuckey
69 Allen
67 Budinger

...I wouldn't rate any of those players 80 OVR either. It's a testament to Vogel that the team lost Hibbert/West and is still 3rd defensively (I have not seen nearly enough to know how much credit lies at the feet of the likes of Monta Ellis and Jordan Hill, and 2K's cautious approach is not without precedent).
