Yeah, you're probably right. Don't play Madden at all, tried it only once a few years ago, so I don't know much about it....

About Live 10, didn't they change ratings on a daily basis? I don't know if that's the way to go, since if a player has a few poor shooting nights, it's not because he has lost any skill...so maybe attributes like hustle/consistency could be affected by real life stuff, but in my opinion ratings should no be changed on a short term basis at all...

But they've hired Leftos and he did all that stat tracker stuff, so maybe at least the default base roster will make some sense in 2k14...

Marc Gasol 70. Al Horford 80. josh Smith 86. John Petro 84.

lol@Josh Smith...so shooting 30% this year gives you an 86 rating...sounds about right...

it wasnt realy like that... a bad stretch by a good player wouldnt drop their base rating significantly.. but they incorporated hot and cold streaks as well

Not buying based on roster update inability is understandable but not buying because the 93 suns aren't in us a stretch IMO.

Ignored? No. Could they be improved? Yes.

I can't reiterate this enough, but this has been a huge focus going forward. I am here, reading the feedback. We've had some great discussions with the NBA 2K Insider about streamlining this entire process.

Also not to mention. Dwight Howard had the most accessory updates of any player.

Headband, no headband, undershirt, ECT.

It's unreal. If you don't play for the Lakers, Heat or Thunder, you don't matter.

C'mon 2k there's 27 more teams in the damn league.
