NBA 2K15 Roster Update Details (11-12-14)

[Jack Wade]

I'm in the process of compiling statistical evidence and data that shows how Tendencies are effectively broken for individual player performance right now - especially in MyLeague/MyGM . Should have my post up later tonight.

[Pandetta]

I would love to see more players going down so we do not see rating inflation over the season.

any way u can 'unlock' shoe brands for players without a shoe contract who switch brands on a nightly basis so we can switch them ourselves if we please...?

examples; terrence ross, jared cunningham, terrence jones, nick young & isaiah thomas etc...

Chris Paul 3pt should drop
Melo's mid range moving and 3pt should drop passing should go up and rebound down

Danny Green 3pt rating should drop
Terrence Ross 3pt shot should increase
Ibaka's 3pt shot should increase
Jason Terry 3pt shot should rise
Hardaway Jr 3pt shot should rise
Tony Wroten's passing needs a downgrade to make him make more bad passess

Curry's passing needs a downgrade to make him make more bad passess

I think Bed's is waiting to get more data to justify but some players are hotter in real life than the game portrays and some are lower than what they should be

Mo Williams three ball should drop. Shooting around 20% yet sits at an 88 standing three.

You know it's 5 weeks into release when people on OS are freaking out about trivial ****.

Tendencies are much more important than attribute upgrades, because you can raise a guys 3pt rating to 99 but if his tendency isn't updated, he may not even take 1 a game.

I just can't believe that each day maybe 5+ players see ratings updates, but maybe twice, or 3 times, we've seen a tendency upgrade.

Theres gotta be more work done in that area, theres really nothing more that needs to be said about that, we need tendency updates on a consistent basis to go with the daily sock and attribute boosts

While I agree with everything you are saying I have resigned myself to believing the lack of tendency updates decision is coming from somewhere above Beds.

Beds made his name here creating rosters focused on creating realistic gameplay. He knows what the tendencies do and how to adjust them appropriately.

I don't know why these decisions are made but to this point it does not seem like tendency updates are on his radar.

For those of us that love your work Beds, but couldn' t care less about Festus Ezeli's knee pads we would love to hear from you on the subject.

This is the "problem" with daily updates....fans see one or two good games and DEMAND that 2K change the ratings. But fans are much more likely to voice concerns over ratings being too LOW than ratings being too HIGH.

What we end up with is inflated ratings.

It's awesome 2K is putting this kind of attention to detail into the rosters this year...but there is too much knee-jerk reaction to some of this.

Shoot...earlier in the year they gave Kirk Heinrich the "Primetime" badge because of 1 or 2 clutch performances in early regular season games.

Again....just look at these daily threads. The pluses outweigh the minuses by probably 5 to 1. Eventually you will hit a tipping point where the ratings will be unbalanced.

No offense, but why even have tendencies in the game if they never get updated? Every day there's updates to the game yet never any tendency updates.

Tendencies are what make players play like themselves. Remember that day that Tony Parker got a boost to his 3pt shooting? Well when I play against him, I can back off of him by more than 3 feet every time because you know why? His 3pt tendency hasn't been updated so he doesn't get aggressive when the defense doesn't respect his shot.

Jimmy butler, his take shot tendency has gone up, but his touch tendency hasn't, so guess what happens when you play the Bulls? He doesn't take enough shots.

Maybe for those who play purely online it doesn't matter, or for those who play my career and just want to average 30/20/10 on pro mode it doesn't matter, but for those who play against the cpu and want an actual sin experience, it does.

I mean no offense by this, but it's sort of like being told , here's a car that can go 200mph but there's no gas in the tank.

Please focus a little more on making players play like themselves, it's very important. I know making sure guys sock lengths and elbow band colors are important to some, and that updating ratings is nice and all, but the meat and bones are the tendencies.

Agreed! Myself and others have already have complained enough about post player tendencies. Your best option will be to go ahead and just do the tendency adjustments as you see fit.

The problem is 2k only focus on the high rated teams, or teams that played their games on National Television that week when it comes to ratings. Solomon Hill has hit double digits in every game in November thus far, 15.8 points per game through 5 games with a career high of 28 in the stretch. So far this season he is shooting 46.7 % from the field 37.5 % from 3 yet he has a 66 overall rating and 73 overall 3 point. He was a first round draft pick a year ago not like he some random. He also has had his fair share of dunks that made nba play of the day, there are 3 different tiers. Some players on 2k have posterizer for no reason. Solomon is just one there are plenty of other players that deserve a boost. I just want to know the logic behind updates. People want dynamic updates for all players, I know they have to have people on the team that has access to NBA league pass and advanced statistics. If 5 games not enough to justify a rating boost, then players shouldn't get clutch badges after one shot, or 99 ball handling after one crossover aka Stephen Curry nba 2k14 last year. They have time to update shoes and accessories so why not more rating updates with along with them.

Been trying to say this for a while.

[Aderito]

Tyson Chandler, Brandan Wright and Omer Asik deserve some updates....

Tyson Chandler last 3 games (per game stats):

15.0 PTS, 66.6 FG% , 1.6 AST, 13 TRB, 86.6 FT%, 21.9 Per (this season)

Agreed 100%.

Can we start a list of overrated players? Who is rated too highly based on:
a) career performance
b) performance last 2-3 seasons
c) current season performance

I would be very interested in opinions regarding which players are overrated and in what way (i.e. Austin Rivers dunk in traffic is VASTLY overrated or there's no way Joakim Noah should have X rating for Post Control). Give some examples.

or 99 ball handling after one crossover aka Stephen Curry nba 2k14 last year.

Eh? Curry has had some of the best handles in the league for awhile now. Not sure if it justifies a 99 but it should be high. He's rates high because of one crossover? Not really.

Absolutely agree on the potential problem focusing on some team and not others-- or even the possibility of upgrading a less well known player and then possibly not revisiting him until much later.

I hope and assume Beds has access to tools that point out guys who are recently performing quite differently from their ratings on a moving average so he can address things as they happen during the season across the board, but the boosts to named players (Kobe) and the lack of drops from poor actual shooting efficiency (Kobe, Harden) is a little worrying.
