    MyCareer is lying to us

    So I was recently messing around in 2k16 and decided to recreate my 6'2" MyCareer PG and put him into a custom roster. I Used all of his exact stats, badges, etc. and noticed that when I was done, He was only an 82 Overall. In MyCareer it says I'm a 94 overall. I really hate how MyCareer gives us a false sense of stardom. I want to know how good my player actually is. I really hope this is something that is fixed in 2k17.

    Realized that as well, 99's aren't even 90's.

        Did you take practice bonuses into account. MC uses those to get your overall.

          Yeah, because it's not like you can't edit that player in a custom roster.

            You can also take your player to a blacktop game and check his rating there.. that's how I discovered the overall ratings in 2k16 MC were fabricated

              What's so frustrating about it? He plays exactly the same, his overall is just different, how is that affecting you?

                Anyone remember that Proam used to show your real rating and people threw a sh*t for about it and 2k had to drop a patch just to make it show your MC rating instead of the true one.

                Btw guards seem to be rated a lot lower than bigs as most guards I played with on Proam where MC 99s but in there only mid 80s while my center who as a mid 80 in MC was rated as mid 90s there

                  As I was playing last night, I was saying that I hope it's harder to achieve mid to high 90's next year. I'd like to see more variety out there.

                    Blame Pro-Am.
                    My best guess, is that as an effort to balance the gameplay and not have a superstar type of player, 2K pretty much made MC 99's to be really a 91-94 player at best. Every 2 attribute upgrades is one overall point.

                    Why? It wanted to force players to fill a role, instead of everyone to be superstars.

                    I like it how it is.

                      there are people who play MyCareer offline that don't wanna play online at all that hate the caps and people who play online that don't want to play MyCareer to get their ratings up. so maybe we can have two separate characters for each, doing this makes every one happy anyway.

                        I did my current stats with no boosts, practice bonuses or anything. even when I have boosts in every category I'm an 88 overall.

                          Yea the stat caps they have now are garbage and unrealistic.

                          What 6'2" point guard can do a standing dunk with a 75 vertical?
