If you want to say Derrick Rose deserves a 79 Moving Mid Range shot (he's shooting 36.4% on dribble pull up jump shots) then would you give Mo Williams a 90 Moving Mid Range (46.5% dribble pull up) and Arron Afflalo a 99? (55.6%)

No, because he would watch a game of theirs, upon which his eyeballs would intuit the correct rating.

Re: Hyperbole in ratings...
 

Ratings are always going to be subjective, and actually ratings are better now than they use to be. Yes there is some ratings that dont quite seem right, for example Jeremy Lin being rated the same as George Hill, is odd, Hill is a better player than Lin is both offensively and defensively. Still when I think back to how things were before Beds was hired to do rosters, its hard to get too upset. Tendencies is where there is some real issues and what I really thought would get cleaned up when Beds went there, but thats not happened.

I do think because of ego's of NBA players probably makes it hard for 2k to actually rate a guy true to form, because if the roster was rated right, we had some players with a lot lower ratings. As much as I hate having to edit, we do have that available to us, so we can rerate however we want, even though technically we shouldnt have to do that considering what the cost of a game is, but it tends to be that way in all sports games.

Re: Hyperbole in ratings...
 

Can you guys give an example of tendencies being way off? I did my own roster edit and didnt find a whole lot that was wrong.

Re: Hyperbole in ratings...
 

Ratings are too high, they don't use the lower end of the scale enough..... Diminishes the superstar impact.

I've seen teams win championships with just by being deep and having a bunch of low 80's which are too abundant.

So basically Detroit in 04?

Hyperbole in ratings...
 

Nah 2k woulda had those guys rated in the mid to upper 80's.

I'm taking about a sixers team for instance winning in year 3, with okafor, Noel, embiid, and 2 rookies rated in the low 80's or upper 70's.

Or teams with leBron not making the playoffs. The impact superstars have in the game is not consistent with the way it is in real life. A simple major factor is the abundance of 70s and 80s.

Do we really think enes kanter should be rated in the 80's? Haha

It's fun for guys to play with better rated players in the other modes, but in association mode, it causes in my opinion a negative impact.

Re: Hyperbole in ratings...
 

For me personally I havent dug into the NBA players as much as I have the classic teams along with the Euro's since Ive been waiting for the right roster to edit for a My League, but the classic players and Euro players are really bad in some cases. I have heard they are a mess with NBA as well, but I cant say those are a mess to be honest, altthough have notice a few oddities, but cant say as a whole they are a mess as some have.
