Typically if you want actual individual ratings how they should be based off of real life performance Top tier pf's like aldridge will end up like an 85. The algorithm def needs to be changed

I've done a lot of simming myself... the major problem has always been that rebound ratings were not distinct enough across the board. This lead to no outliers with 14+ RPG, and most guards grabbing 5+ a game... So I've had quite the opposite experience.

Also in my own roster, I've got Lillard at a 83... I didn't go in and change the algorithm, I simply edited his ratings to reflect his inefficient scoring and subpar defense/playmaking.

I don't know the details I am saying if you compare players across positions it becomes clear that the bigs are dropped because they probably don't have high ratings in things guards would do. How do you justify Iverson 2001 being a 94 and Hakeem 1994 being an 93. I actually like Iverson but Hakeem is 99 post offense, 99 post control whatever post rating you want to give and probably is the most agile center in history. Could hit jumpers and defensively he was a beast. He could actually dribble in the post. A peak Iverson might be 99 speed, and acceleration maybe handle. The guards/wings seem to be higher rated

Again, Hakeem is without a doubt underrated in those areas. Iverson is looking like he has his shooting and defense overrated as well (had him in the high 80s in my roster). I'd like to continue this discussion once we can dive into the individual ratings for '16.

I'll say this.. It's a lot easier to overrate a guard simply because of the amount of individual ratings that are important to the position. So what 2K needs to do is try and get more ratings that favor bigs in the game.
