An In-Depth Look at the Changes to the NBA 2K16 Ratings System

[ReyTV]

New grounds! As a loyal, 2K player. . . I'm willing to give it a chance and test it out.

Question:

• Is navigating the auction house as easy, as smooth and SNAPPY as it is on nba 2k15? As opposed to [cough] madden [/cough] #NoPun

Observation:

• Much respect to the team now adopting the word "cheese" to the list of things to avoid. Looking forward to see how the community managed to end flash pausers who troll the game after every whistle and basket.

Thank you @2kStauff good stuff.

I really really REALLY like this approach. This is something I have wanted done for some time now. I hope this means that certain legends ratings aren't boosted anymore.

If this actually goes as planned, i may be able to leave raings alone and simply touch up sig shots.

sidenote: id love to see how "close" Kareem would be to Jordan on the greatness scale

I agree with this approach and in fact, this is the approach I used to re-rate NBA 2K11(or 2K12), when the old school Rosters actually felt playable. Rodman was the person I used as the bar for rebounding, etc... Makes plenty of sense.

Hopefully during next season, the ratings fluctuations are not so extreme, especially for guys who though may be having a great season, do not so dramatically outshine their prior year stats(or change so much in ability) as to warrant an extreme overall leap(Thinking Harden and his 6 point overall increase specifically). It seems that with the Hall of fame scale as the bar, this could also naturally sober the temptation to over-rate or over-increase guys who are already rated accurately and happen to be on a hot streak. Not talking about the Whiteside's of the league who were rated incorrectly out the gate and proved to be under-rated.

This is something I've always wanted. Thanks for finally incorporating this.

I like it.

Hopefully this attention to ratings has included attention to tendencies to support realism, including for draft classes in MyGM/MyLeague.

It looks like we're heading to simulation static..oooh how sweet it is.
