The rating on Korver is great, he's consistently been underrated under the old formula .

My Hawks ratings under the old formula (2014 stats, done on 360)
87 - Al Horford
84 - Jeff Teague (rates 82 on PS4, unsure why some inconsistencies exist)
81 - Paul Millsap
74 - DeMarre Carroll
74 - Mike Scott
74 Shelvin Mack
73 - Elton Brand
73 - Kent Bazemore
73 - Kyle Korver (Rates 72 @ SG)
71 - Adreian Payne
69 - John Jenkins
68 - Thabo Sefolosha
67 - Dennis Schroder
64 - Pero Antic

Korver and Sefolosha are likely starters yet they rate lower than every other wing on the team.

Thabo sandwiching between two 1st round picks who haven't established themselves was particularly troubling. His flaws (Handle, OffAwr, SOD, etc) shouldn't be canceling out his strengths (defense) as he's started for a contender a number of years for a reason. The system was not reflecting his true value and that has since been rectified (Thabo rates 74 in 2K15).

Korver rating equal to Bazemore simply doesn't pass the eye test. Ball handling is way too important to SG under the old formula despite 3pt shooting and on-ball defense being significantly more important to the position.

At the higher end of the spectrum of that system we see A regressing Dwyane Wade (90) isn't in the same ballpark vs "Three & D" players like Danny Green (73). It was important to get proper value for the specialists, because the Iso era of SGs inspired by Michael Jordan has come and gone. It's a PGs league now, which means the vast majority of SG are going to be required to be good at playing off-ball.

The best example of this is Jordan Crawford (79), who would start over Klay Thompson (78) when rated accurately. There is no questioning that this is wrong. Ironically, Crawford is actually much more effective at PG where he RATED LOWER (75). He is a much better on-ball player than on-ball player, which is why he thrived w/ the Celtics, and struggled with the Warriors, despite playing his "natural" position. He serves as a perfect example

Under the new system, Klay rates 82 (+4), equal to combo guard Monta Ellis. This previously would have been impossible due to Monta's Handle/Athletic advantages, despite his erratic jump shot.

(I highlight Antic because "stretch 4/5 players are well-known to get the shaft in the old formula, something else that was fixed in 2K15).
