Did you watch the Knicks last year? Some of Melos top performances? Like game 2(think it was that one) with the Celtics? That performance was legendary and his stats should be tuned in a way that it allows the user to get such performances from him.
The problem with most such players like Melo (even Lebron) is a problem of mentality and psychology and until 2k mostly rates physical and skill attributes
the ratings will look off. Same goes for the Mavs. Their chemistry and the experience coupled with their skills is what won them the championship.
I'm sure 2K will develop an accurate psychological system for the next generation consoles. Maybe bring some sports psychologists in their crew. Should make everyone happy.

Yes, I am/was a fan of Melo until he went to play for the hype machine that is New York. I watched plenty of the Knicks. They have no defense and need to put up 100+ to even come close to winning against elite teams and defenses.
Melo is a great shooter and hit some clutch shots, but none of them really mattered in the grand scheme of things. He never emerged as a leader of that team.
You're right, mental/psychology should play a part in the ratings. LeBron is the most physically and athletically gifted player ever from the eyebrows down, but sometimes he's just not there mentally. He checks out. His clutch rating should be pretty low.
It's not that Melo is a terrible defender, so his perimeter D rating shouldn't be AWFUL, but a lot of times he checks out of defense and gets lazy. He's shoot first, ask questions last. So his D-awareness should be pretty low as well.
How does everybody feel about Lebron's outside shooting being an A-? That pretty much puts him on par with all of the pure 3-point shooters in the game...I don't know about that.
