Thank you for your answer too man! Umm from what I know of, (I am an association dude), 2K has decreased ratings for all players, so in the latest official roster, the players on the teams which includes the injured ones, the free agents, and also the generated rookies in association (I think is called Myleague now), then it is fair isn't it because nobody is actually NOT CHANGED yet??? Please confirm this one with me because if they did leave out some players, the roster rating is f**ked up!
As for the defenders not getting close due to the fact that the shooting ratings for everyone got lower, I personally didn't see this at all as well, I play on superstar and touched on some sliders on the defense (nothing big tho), I really don’t see this particular problem, anyone has a say about this?
