Anyone know if they touched any tendencies with this update? Its the tendencies and adjusting some teams style of play thru ACE that really needs adjusted the most.

The flaw in this practice is they aren't actually WATCHING the game to discern this information - they are merely assigning a position (basing it on Player Height/Weight). Bazemore and Belinelli are both 6'5" but since Marco has a "listed" weight 9 points higher they'll assign him the "bigger" position and assume he is matched with those players.

Nor are they consistent in it's application considering they have Ben Simmons at "PG" with Jerryd Bayless at SG, J.J. Redick at SF, and Robert Covington at PF.

A notable example is Quentin Richardson being listed at SG for the 2005 Suns. Despite their size difference, Joe Johnson was the starting SG and Q-Rich was the SF.



We can clearly see:
1. Johnson listed as a starting guard.
2. Johnson matched up with Dwyane Wade

Yet the 2005 Suns per BBRef:
Q-Rich: 97% SG / 2% PG / 1% SF
Johnson: 74% SF / 26% PF

Word?

The reason why Q-Rich was a SF (despite smaller stature) was he was an excellent rebounder for his size and had more strength than quickness.

This isn't the only time Q-Rich would be misclassified either. They have him starting at SG for the Knicks when a young Wilson Chandler was starting there (adding to the "confusion", the versatile Chandler would go on to start at PF next to Danilo Gallinari).

BBR provides a solid guideline but I have 10 years experience ironing out their details.

Ok I'm disappointed right now.

Ben Simmons got a mid range boost for open shots?! He was a 55. Now he's a 75. You got to be kidding me right? Open 3's at 55. Maybe Rashid can make me feel better with some stats. But I'm sure this guy doesn't shoot. Worst of all his offense consistency is 90 now. Come on now. I love him. But he's not that good.

More in a few

One positive...
Beds final broke out of the scale for big men. Specify AD and Cousins.They both have driving layup 90 and 89 now. Cousins dribbling still at 72. I can't tell if if should be higher.

Jokic got a boost. But he still doesn't have any passing badges smh.... How is this possible? I would think maybe a bronze flashy pass.

I understand if you guys hate me at this point. But there is just no way in hell that Kenyon Martin and Kerry Kittles should be this bad on defense. I'm not even going to bring up any stats I'll leave that to Rashid ha. That Nets team went the the NBA Finals 2 years in a row. Granted they got sweept the first time by the Mighty Lakers. And then got 6 games out of the Spurs.

Kenyon Martin


Kerry Kittles was one of the fastest players. And what's worst is that his defense is just as bad as Kenyon Martin.


I can't repeat this. The Nets were known for their defense back then. Worst of all. They ran off those defensive stops. Why do we keep denying them this? Kerry speed without the ball is 74. His Pass Perception is 66. His steal rating is 55. Defensive consistentcy is 75.... I'm not even getting into their other ratings.

Kenyon Martin On ball defense is 60. His pick and roll defense is 64. Worst thing here..... His defensive consistentcy is 50.... Yes people 50. Pass perception is 68.

I don't really get why you're looking for Classic Rating updates in threads about the Current NBA rosters. There are surely significant problems with EVERY Classic team but these teams typically don't get updated and they're a very low priority.

Yeah they never update classic rosters after the game is released. At least I don't recall ever seeing anything different after each game is released.
