NBA 2K15 Roster Update Details (11-20-14)

[mgrand15]

Jabari having a good night doesn't change the fact that he should be lowered. The guy is shooting 21% from 3 and barely shooting them. Shooting 24% from 3-10 feet. Fine with lowering the shooting numbers of a guy who hasn't figured out how to do anything except score directly at the rim in the NBA.

Re: The Big Men.

I have to assume that they're not letting him make changes like that to the entire roster without testing what numbers would work properly. For example, if he messes with the tendencies for all the big men and the tendencies are still crappy, that's a big waste of time. Same thing for stamina, what if he tinkers with it and bigs are suddenly too good?

My only guess is that they have to test how the game responds to certain changes. Then he can go ahead and change stuff like that. Right now, he's been doing things that aren't unknowns. Shot ratings, TOs, consistency, etc. Nothing crazy.

I see that some of these changes aren't being made based on what is happening this season, but more based on that they were completely wrong to begin with.

So, if you see a player being lowered/raised, it might not be a direct result of his recent play, but a result of not being rated correctly in the first place and it's now finally being addressed. Hence, the big 5-10 point changes that are being made.

A question I have, is how/why 2k limits what can or can't be done in roster updates (I can't confirm this, but it's been mentioned and is fairly obvious if you read these roster update posts). There is a reason why some things are left untouched (tendencies, stamina ratings, etc) when they need to be fixed. So, they hired this great community roster maker, but they won't let him do his thing?

Have some balls, 2k, and hire someone who knows what they are doing and LET them do it. I know that there has been great praise, deservedly so, for Beds and his updates, but they are still underwhelming when it comes to gameplay. There is no reason why each and every year there are better playing rosters from people who devote their own time making them.

All I want to know is....why?? Anyone can update accessories and player movement, but not anyone can get the game playing realistically. Shouldn't that be the priority? Why are so many things being ignored? I think you guys owe the people who spend their money at least SOME transparency, am I wrong?

I realize this post will not be well received, but someone has to say it.

Yea but the way he was lowered was pretty drastic, which means a lot of players should be drastically lowered just the same for instance Joakim Noah is averaging 8.2pts per game and 10 boards and he's rated 86 or like Kawhi Leonard who's also rated 86 is averaging 12.8pts 8 boards shooting .23% from 3pt. There are other players at the same positions who are playing far better than both but yet still Kawhi Leonard has been getting increases in his overall and Noah who's just now receiving decreases (-1) off his rating with this recent update. I could understand your logic with tendencies but the rating system isn't being well proportioned throughout the entire roster. Check out Tobias Harris and Jeff Green's rating compared to Kawhi's or Vucevic and T. Chandler's rating compared to Noah's. If we're basing ratings off the year so far, this should speak for it self...

Theres no reason why Parker(74) should have a lower rating than Wiggins(76), yea he's shooting a poor percentage from 3's but he does more on the court and averages better numbers across the board in every category, Parker is well underrated now.

[evanreyes]

I believe that Bogut should have higher defensive ratings, he is very underrated. I also think that Reggie Jackson deserves to be rated higher overall.

Parker playing one good game in the last 24 hours does not cancel out the 11 prior games he's played this year.

He's had a good week but his first two weeks were simply disgusting, and not in a good way.

First 9 games: 10 PPG, 41 FG%, 25 3PT%, 53 FT%
Last 3 games: 16 PPG, 59 FG%, 0 3PT%, 71 FT%


He'll need more efforts like last night to gain back his ratings.
Bucks are 26th offensively and Jabari's empty production has been a big reason why.

Trust me I understand the decrease in his shooting, I get that, but he's productive in other areas as well. Like I said before the rating system isn't well proportioned through the entire roster. Parker's overall FG% is better than Wiggins as well as rebounding, assist and steals but Wiggins is better than him maybe I'm missing something cause I don't get it. What about the whole Tobias Harris and Jeff Green's rating comparison to Kawhi's or Vucevic and T. Chandler's rating comparison to Noah's. We are basing it off this year so far right? I'm not saying Harris and others should necessarily go up in rating but Noah, Kawhi and a few others should definitely receive decreases such as the ones given to Parker.....
