Do you guys think 2k13 caters to elite teams and superstars? To me it seams the game just caters to the elite teams and star players. For example look at John Wall -vs- Rajon Rondo
Rondo - Overall 90, shot inside 84, close 72, medium 70, 3pt 61 - Sig. Skills - Pick Pocket, Dimer, Scraper, Ankle Breaker, Floor Generals
Wall - Overall 83, shot inside 88, close 80, medium 77, 3pt 60 - Sig. Skills - Acrobat, Finisher, Shot Creator
I compare these two cause there games are similar, there both penetrators who can finish well at the rim, no pure jump shots and run there teams. (Granted Rondo has a better supporting cast.)
As you can see Wall has the better shooting stats. But if you take a look at their hot zones. Wall has more cold zones than Rondo. (which makes his Shot Creator Sig. pointless when he can't make a jump shot on the game)
Now, to me the game is catered to Rondo more than Wall. Yes, in real life Rondo is a better all-around player than Wall. But as far as shooting is concerned Wall should have more neutral zones than cold. I understand this is were the players shoot the majority of there shots in a game setting, but to me the zones and ratings don't match up in my honest opinion. Wall's Signature Skills is dictated more to his shooting abilities, while Rondo's is more in the "Run the team" aspect. But Rondo will make more shots because he has lesser cold zones even though his shooting ratings is worst than Wall's. We can argue all day about who has the better jump shot in real life, but as far as the game is concerned it is Rondo over Wall even if the ratings doesn't prove it.
