Re: NBA Live 16 Updated Rosters Available Now
I agree, he and other injured players shouldn't be starting, I hope they don't remove injured players or nerf their stats because of injuries. Regarding both my LIVE and 2K game purchases, It makes it feel like I paid for the games to only play with a percentage of the players (non-injured) online. I have never understood the "REALISM" of removing or down-editing the players in modes that are already deemed "ARCADE" such as play now. I understand synergy statuses the last played game, but as the product purchasers, we should have the choice to play with every player on every team, online or offline, except where the option has been toggled for injuries on/off in specific modes, since they purchased a "full" product.....and that rant is for both games, lol.
IMO, Ranked games should be all injuries on, and all other modes given a toggle option or just remain off.
About ratings: Robert Covington (76ers) is rated at a lowly 62 OVL, making him the lowest rated regular starter in the entire league!!!... and if Lebron shot 35% from 3 for an 84 3pt rating in game, shouldn't Covington be at least rated higher in 3pt rating, via "SYNERGY"? He shot 37% and finished in the NBA top 10 in 3pt makes and deserves a slightly higher than rating than Lebron's 84 3pt rating. I am a slightly biased, die hard 76ers fan, but this type of "favoritism rating" discrepancy is noted across multiple players and teams, not just Philly. I just hate the "little tricks" they (both game makers) use to make bad teams play bad, especially when that team is not represented accurately in the on court action outside of their stars.
I have been a hopeful and faithful supporter of this whole Synergy approach since its announcement. Data mining and analysis is my everyday job, and the applied data can be awesome if correctly implemented. However, when obvious roster ratings "decisions" outside of synergy data collection are made for the game, as this obviously has been to date since ratings don't match their real performance that synergy collected and that they are rated on, whats the point?
I'm sure Curry, Lebron, Kobe, Durant, etc., are almost spot on at this point, but the non stars on bad teams that play well?...forget it.
