Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
that's cause those type of big men are a rarity in real life.
most big men in drafts have a huge learning curve. so they tend to be ranked lower.
Big men are typically drafted on potential.
The reality is, most big men wind up being serviceable big men, very few turn into Dwight Howard.
However this game does have a few gems. I drafted a big man in the late second round and he's turning out to be a solid back up. -

Before the season in assoc. you can edit the rookies before you start. Make a couple big men and pump up their stats. Done!Comment

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
a true dominating center is a rarity these days. most guys are more athletic and don't just bang inside the paint anymore. i guess maybe dexter pittman could be the next center like al jefferson or kendrick perkins. so as you can see, these types of guys let alone a dwight howard, are rare now.Comment

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
I used whatever draft was at the top of 2kshare with the most downloads (ps3) and from that draft Solomon Alabi turned out quite a career. He won 3 mvps, 4 or 5 defensive player of the years, several nba championships, and was all nba almost every season starting with his 4th. He was a consistent 18-20 ppg and 12 or 13 rebounds, along with almost 3 blocks. When I did a different season with Rebirth's draft class (ps3) I drafted him #10 and after 4 seasons he was still just an average nba center. He had moved up from about a 55 to a 74 overall, but still struggled to score too much. Then the stupid season kept freezing when you tried to pass the rookie/sophomore challenge and I had to give up that sim.Comment

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
not from 2k10. the last time i saw a dominating big man was in my knicks Fantasy draft franchise back in 2k8. around the 9th year in my franchise some generated guy name ryan mccarthy cam out of UCLA. Landed him with the 30th pick in the draft and developed into a tim duncan type player. he came out with a 78 ovr end up progressing up to 97 where he stayed for a very long time

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
Funny thing is I was thinking about this in real life, which makes it realistic. Like a lot of people have said, there are rarely any dominant big men prospects coming out in real life, because guys like Oden have even been busts for the most part(even though juries still out.) Think about it...there are guys like Rose, Mayo, Durant, etc that are future all stars coming out every single year. But Dwight was the last superstar big man to be drafted, and its been 4 years. Lots of 'em are decent -- Oden, Beasley(even though he's fitting more into a SF rle), Blake Griffin - they get hype but rarely ever take the role of an elite guy.Comment

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
I have simmed quite a bit and have seen on average about 1 "dominating" Big Man every 6 or so years. My biggest gripe is with the size of the centers WAY WAY WAY too many Centers are 7'2" to 7'4", I see about 6 to 10 players that size every year. that is a huge issue to me as rarley are there players that size coming into the NBA.....Comment

Re: How come no dominate big men in association drafts?
There is this. I've been known to boost stats of draft prospects and let another team have them so I'd have someone challenging to play against.
But with the CPU generated draft classes I found most of the prospects rated way too high. Higher than some established NBA players that have been in the league for years. It looks like the generated rookies are still using the old rating scale from 2K9 (50-99) because I was seeing a lot of prospects ranked in the lower 80s just like when you created CAPs in 2K9. A lot of prospects had consistency and O & D awareness in the 90s. That wasn't happening in my league. I had some free time over the holidays and edited every prospect to bring their ratings down into the upper 60s and 50s. It's gonna be a very weak draft class but one I feel is more realistic. I think for my next season I'm gonna use a downloaded draft class from 2Kshare.Comment
