" all so happy" is a bit of hyperbole. Interested, intrigued or curious would probably be a fair description.

I was a little concerned since Drummond has paring weaknesses, but then thought-- do I consider him important in his role-- and said, yeah I'm okay with this.

I do expect that increasing in rating is actually somewhat difficult in this new system-- if the skills gained don't directly contribute to a role, or may just switch you to a new role where you'll still have a comparative rating.

Which is the problem with this crap. Instead of worrying about ACTUAL ratings (which I know 2k isn't releasing) people get antsy about an overall. I see this similar to how I look at team overalls, not really that big a deal tbh. You'll still know and feel the difference between the Cavs and T'Wolves.

The whole point of an overall rating is for CPU Ai. Last season the game shipped with Andre Drummond as a 72 and Billups an 81. That was terrible. That means they had to do double work to keep the management AI on point. One dimensional or not Drummond is still the most or second most valuable player on the Pistons. The fact that the overall rating reflects this is a step in the right direction.

His speed, quick, and vert are probably real high. Add to that elite rebounding, and many above average ratings(for a center), 83 sounds reasonable. 2k underated Bigs for years.
The New system seems to be correcting that.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. This new system seems like a value system instead of just pure overall.

If Drummond hit the market as a FA right now, He would be in high demand. IMO 10-12 mil per. Yeah that may be overpaying him, but thats what good big men go for.

I don't think they over estimated his individual ratings. They just increased his value.

I think they said the new ratings system is based on how valuable a player is too his team, Drummond at 83 seems about right, because even though he is not the best overall player in the NBA, he's VERY valuable to his team.

I doubt Jordan will be rated higher, he should be rated lower according to the new rating system. The Clippers have players more valuable to the team than Jordan, he's is not as valuable to his team as Drummond is to his.
