Loving Jonas V's 78, I think it's fair. Maybe I can play with the raps and have a fun franchise without bumping up a bunch of ratings this year!
I think (but not sure) out of the box Jonas was a 68 last year?
Obviously since I watch the raptors all the time it's easy to complain when I see players undervalued and trying to look objectively - this WAS the case in the past with players getting a bit shafted.
I hope it's not the way it was in the past, where last year. Jonas was a super slow, un-athletic player which helped keep his ratings down, but going to games and see him transition slam alley oops and trailer plays with some intensity - then seeing his game in 2k was disappointing.
Which brings me to scrubs... I hope they vary, instead of all being super slow waste of space-type guys. In the past you had the best superstar's in the league being the fastest almost automatically and bench guys being slow to compensate for some of the game's ineptness to translate true skill. I would see subs come in a miss under the basket layups because they were rated so low, but in reality, high school players would hit those open shots even if they were plunked into the nba.
I hope to see some bench guys crazy fast, but just can't hit jumpers with any consistency or maybe someone is slow but a crazy good rebounder - or maybe someone has great agility and handles and can break ankles so he seems fast but isn't 90+ in speed and only like a 78 or something. Hopefully there are a few quick big men too.
Overall I'm really digging these ratings and can't wait to see for myself - this is going to be a crazy exciting NBA season, I'm looking forward to it more than anytime I can remember since 2000
