NBA 2K14 Video - Dynamic Living Rosters Briefly Explained

I wonder how human interference we will have to appease certain fans, particularly star guys. If the system followed the metrics used to the T certain guys would not be overrated (Melo, Kobe, Harrison Barnes and Paul George) and other guys would be rated higher (stretch 4s without upping things like blocks and rebounds to increase the OVR)

They've said no preferential treatment with the system.. still to be seen though.

2k has preached balance with gameplay but they need to start balance these ratings. Too many player get upgrades but they are extremely hesitant to downgrade anyone. This creates a problem with having too many highly rated players. there are too many declining veterans that are still rated like they are in there good/prime years (chauncy billups, antawn jamison etc...)


Also role players on big market teams are waaaaaaayyyy overrated. This is a reason why teams like the knicks and lakers are so overpowered.

I am not expecting an overhaul, not yet that is, just that every player is added in a timely manner and all to be equally edited to reflect their level play on a given timeframe. Am hoping that the implementation can correct any incongruences vs formulas and scales, but would not be surprised if it didnt.

A thing to have in mind tho, is that if 2k plays their cards right and uses the partnership of Stats to full extend, we might be in for a great 2k15. I mean, once stats special cameras record footage of all teams and games, the benefits would be exponentially increased. Most of the current subjective ratings and tendencies would then become objective as data is gathered on such matters.

Here is to hope for that, for a real indepth partnership that translates into unbiased ratings and tendencies. Also, for every variable to be customizable and be editable, no hidden factors at all.

P.S:
As a side note, would appreciate if 2k would revise their overall rating calculation per positions ... some caracteristic should be ponderated higher to reflect nowdays trnds, like the value of stretch big men.

I will believe when I stop seeing players like bledsoe getting rated 80+. We all know if he played somewhere like the milwuakee he will be rated in the 60s or low 70s.

Not to defend my squad but ratings wise Lakers were usually on point except for the overrating of Kobe's physical deficiencies due to age like speed and quickness.

Good thing we can edit rosters but it will be nice to see real adjustments that stay true to the system.

I think a player like Bledsoe can be rated high because he performs extremely well on the defensive side in short spurts. I have watched a couple games where he had like 5 or so steals in a game. He averages 1.4 steals in 20min/g, that is way high. He also averages 0.72 blocks/game for a 6'1" player that plays 20 min/g that is high. He was second in the NBA for PG's with blocks per game behind John Wall again playing in 20 min. He shot 40% from 3 last year on a limited number of attempts but as a med range shooter he is below average. So this tells me 2K rating probably has the ability to rate defensive specialists high too.

He is extremely fast, with a high vertical, pretty high dunking ability and should have some pretty good defensive ability with steals and blocking. I have seen him block chase down Wade and others. However he has not shown he can lead by being a PG yet. So if he is this high I expect Avery Bradley to be rated pretty high as well. Again if you try to use him like CP3 I don't see it working.
