What happened to mid-range and three ball ratings?

Honestly, rating changes like this count as mini-patches. We are really up to Patch 6 after 6 months of release. As a gamer, I am not interested in re-learning the fundamentals of gameplay every 30 days. I genuinely feel like a beta-tester with a $65 "season-pass". I can't think of another title in any genre over the past 20 years that has done this; certainly not one I have played. I understand better than most that sports games operate on a different development cycle than other genres, however that doesn't mean I need to propagate it. Here's hoping the stumbles of 2K15 lead to a much more consistent experience in 2K16... otherwise I may not be long for it.

I don't play on-line at all, no park/rec or my team either and very rarely will I touch myplayer, I'm just a generic old school season or franchise player and because of that I can't play the game unless it's using a heavily modified roster that COMPLETELY revamps the ratings, somehow someway 2k devs have got to do away with the overall rating because it completely destroys anything past season one in any kind of franchise mode no matter how many times they try to find a cure for the same old disease, not to mention the people who lose their freaking minds if the overall doesn't match up with what they think a player should be, I'm not bringing a point that others haven't made a million times before either... And to your point about gaming cycles I really think that they should release the game at least a month or more into the regular season since by that time there usually has been one or two patches anyway

This is kinda whack... if someone starts a MyLeague, aren't all of the percentages going to be off? And draft classes are going to have multiple guys that become technically the best shooters in the league as rookies...

Yeah what bugs me is that it only takes like two seasons before every team has a starting lineup of all 85-90 rated players with two 83's coming off the bench.

This is what I was thinking.

Terrible idea, 2K should have just upgraded the sliders not the attributes ... It would make more sense, no? So if we use the Default Roster, sliders must be set to 42 (-8 from 50) to be accurate.

The NBA makes the decision on release dates.

I forgot about that actually cause I do remember hearing that before and it sucks cause it's gotta handcuff the devs ability to fully flesh out the issues they've gotta know are there, it's especially frustrating cause there's no way a late release will affect their sales, if anything I think those first day numbers would be higher than they are now
