Guess what idiocy does to the brain?

Mike is doing a fine job. In fact, I think he's a better man for the job than I am.

With that said, I have an "insider's" knowledge on how these things work. I've been to the 2K offices, have spoken to many people in the company, and have 12 (!) years experience working on 2K's ratings.

Mike and everyone else that has ever worked on ratings for 2K do not have 100% creative control. Their hands are tied in various aspects. Dunking is one of those things.

For example, Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant will always be better dunkers in game than they are in real life. That might as well be fact. 2K knows who their fans are. They are here to sell video games. Stars are exciting. Dunks are exciting. End of story. 36 year-old Vince Carter was still 75 dunk in 2K14.

My specific issue with the dunk ratings is poor scaling in relation to actual performance. Old-man Carter (who is still a better dunker than most) is mostly capable of the same stuff in-game as LeBron James.

2K14 Dunk ratings
90 LeBron (134 dunks, 10% of FGs)
84 Rose (32 dunks in his MVP 2011, 2% of FGs)
75 Carter (15 dunks, 2% of FGs)

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I am highlighting that the dunk ratings absolutely need revision given that they impact gameplay in such a major way. Given that Mike was a late addition to the development team it's "obvious" that he wouldn't have time to make sweeping changes to this league-wide problem, as that would require 2K Sports to actually recognize it as a problem. It's my "astute observation" that they don't. At least not yet.

Of course, the fact that I've spent the last 6 hours writing an article analyzing what I've seen in the video, causes, solutions, etc, yeah, you're right, sounds like I'm just an internet gremlin with a personal vendetta and no insight to contribute.

Oh wait, that's you!

Ouch. That is some response.

No flames behind your players when you dunk though ?

It's STG he has never been a good player. He's a bit obnoxious, kind of like PewDiePie has fake reactions and emphasizes every word he speaks. Don't take his gameplay that seriously, he's clearly a casual.
