Also added a mid range hot spot Russel Westbrook: removed mid range hot spot Jeremy Lin: three point hot spot on left hand side added. Mid range hot spot moved over to the left(top of the key) Dwayne Wade: Took away all hot spots. Only has 3 cold spots Jr smith: took away two three point hot spots. One hot spot on right side of three point line. Deron Williams/Joe johnson- took away both their mid range hot spots. but added a three point hot spot on left and right side. There are probably more, i advise everyone to look these up as well to confirm

I noticed this as well with the spurs. The only ones I think we're changed is Kawai Lenoard and Danny Green's hot spots. They both have a lot more hot zones than previously. Greens hot the whole way around the 3 pt arc now.

So Wade has no hot spots? Real stats say otherwise...http://stats.nba.com/playerShotchart.html?PlayerID=2548

Jeremy Lin: three point hot spot on left hand side added. Mid range hot spot moved over to the left(top of the key)

Real midrange stats for Lin:
Left side center: 7/26
Left side baseline: 6/21
...so he gets a hotspot while shooting 28% from that area?

Both should in fact have midrange hotspots...

I am surprised they updated hot spots. 2K this should be the standard going forward at least after All-Star break you would expect this. LeBron has the hole right side as a hot spot behind the three before he had only one

Thabo has multiple hot spots on the three point line now.


From a rating standpoint I was expecting Curry to have the highest SID rating but he is like tied for third with an 84 behind Melo's 88 Nash/Allen 85 and then it is him.

Yeah, but if the ones posted are correct (haven't checked them), 2k randomly changes hotspots with no relation to real life performance.

Wade's was updated, he has a cold spot where he had hot spot. The only thing is we don't know what data set 2K used to justify these changes. Truthfully they probably should have updated everyone's stats based on season statistics. But it looks like they gave a couple people hot spots updates and a small few people saw rating updates. Thabo is shooting 40% off 3 attempts a game but they kept his 76 three point rating and gave him hot spots to pad his stats

lol ABOUT TIME. i actually just wanted him to be a 92 again but a 93 will do lol. they lowered his three also which is accurate. his offensive rebounding, hustle and consistency have all been increased. also his SOD is an 88 now. higher than kds. i was shocked by that as well. I was also hoping for maybe a teague update or jeff green but you cant have everything you want.
