Some of these ratings prove that the 2k team doesn't watch/play basketball

Not sure how those ratings are calculated, but they mean literally nothing.

not really. I mean technically you dont jump lower when you go to a level with better athletes, but if among those better athletes you have a harder time getting a clean gather and better chance of getting blocked then you dunk less, and statistically it would appear as if you loss some dunking ability.

1. It's definitely not impossible. I do it every year.

2. The game is not complex enough to require a scout. An understanding of stats and how players produce statistics is significantly more important because thats how "simulation" gets its results.

3. Do you know any scouts that understand video games at a high level? This is a video game, not real life. 2K is basketball at a very simple level. Stauffer worked with Scott and Czar and molded rating scales (like speed) to their needs. A real life scout who is worthless on the sticks is not an asset.

4. What NBA scout is gonna have time to take away from his actual job (making significant money to travel and watch numerous players) to work in-house for 2K? Do you have any concept of how many hours a scout puts in and how many hours a video game developer puts in?

5. The Euroleague rosters are outsourced by 2K and I think most consider them embarrassing from an accuracy standpoint. An in-house editor isn't the problem.

The Jazz are the 26th best team in the league, according to 2k. But whatever.

My bad, must not have checked it. I just remember going in quick game and seeing they were 26th overall. Must have been before the update.

I love the game overall but the ratings need a fine tune but all it does is start somebody else complaining if you abroad to put in the work do your own or just use what the game does and I see people say you can't keep the game updated you can I've been updating rosters for years you just gotta have a set time to do everybody not just update a player because he had a good game or a bad shooting night my rosters update monthly and I do every player and use every stat from hook shot to a fade away and people still say is not real it's all in your opinion we all think our work is the best

Those overall ratings are rotation based mixed with ratings you change any lineup the ratings changes trust me
