Well…I’ve put all the player stats into excel and had a good look at them all. Some players immediately stand out that need ‘fixing’. The clearest example of this is Jermaine O’Neal. This guy is a legit franchise player and was third in MVP voting last year.
In Live 05 he is:
21st for blocks
174th for FG’s.
16th for overall
135th for Offensive Rebounds
14th for Defensive Rebounds
5th for inside scoring.
21st for primacy (81 is way too low. The Pacers play a half court game and he’s their absolute ‘go to guy’. With Harrington traded, Jermaine is going to get all of their post plays. He really should be 90 minimum IMO so that they go to him most trips down the court)
IMO he’s a top 5 shot blocker, should be higher for FG’s and ORB’s. So, those up and primacy.
I am mainly going to focus on ‘fixing’ the star players / franchise players / go to guys / main defensive guys.
Anyone who tries to fix all the ratings down to the 3pt rating for the last man off the bench has my admiration…as well as a question mark next to their sanity
Overall, I think the ratings are pretty cool. There’s good distinction between star players, role players and scrubs. That’s the most important thing.
One strange stat…guess who has the highest stamina rating in the game? None other than…Vince Carter.
