Whoops. Forgot to link the comparison.



Some notable stats:

• Diamond Luis Scola has 97/95 Standing and Moving Shot Mid.
• Diamond Scola and Diamond Hakeem have near identical Inside Scoring, with Scola having a +10 advantage in Driving Layup.
• Diamond Luis Scola is not only faster than Hakeem, it boasts a 95/95 Offensive and Defensive Rebound compared to just 84/94 for Hakeem.

Thank God I don't play this mode, like in the past on other games. I can imagine trying to recreate an actual all-time greats team, or a '90's/'80's/'70's team just to watch all my time and effort (probably real $) just to go down the crapper because a 12 year old with mommas credit card bought some VC and gets a 95 Scola or a 96 Crawford. This is a disappointment, but hey if that is what the MyTeam crowd wants, then more power to them.

I just don't think at any point, during any game, these players had these high of an overall. IDC what their numbers were for one game, that would never merit an overall on par with HoF type players, period. 85 or 86 overall, that I could see, but not in the mid 90's. Those overalls are reserved for HoF type players (or that's what 2K said). This seriously just cheapens the game, in my opinion.

I would still take Hakeem's rating set, but the fact that it's even close makes this a dumb idea. Whoever thought "Diamond Luis Scola" should be a thing deserves to lose their job.

Nobody in their right mind would ever ask for this; naturally here comes 2K, supplying to an imaginary demand.

2k obviously has a working relationship with some of these NBA players getting diamond cards but I can't understand the whole Scola thing, does he help them with big man animations or something? There HAS to be a reason they gave him a diamond card that only has to do with him and 2k. The whole thing is just disgusting. It's like if The Show made Daniel Murphy into Babe Ruth. Customers deserve so much better than this.

Thank you for this. It's insane that the community as a whole isn't outraged at this.

Bravo!

Glad someone with a voice is saying something about this NONSENSE.

Not only is it total BS garbage...it's also a money-grab.

On top of that...its also a direct CONTRADICTION of their brand new 'legends scale' ratings. And shows they didn't even bother listening to their community after complaints about the SILLY Ruby cards they releases last year.

This game is going in the wrong direction.

It's trying to be too many things...all at the same time.

It's NBA Jam, NBA Street, NBA 2K, and a basketball RPG all roles into one...

The mishandling of MyTeam has been a problem for a few years now...

Yeah,
For the first time I have been considering switching to NBA LIVE 16 for the PS4. Getting feed up with 2K. NBA Live is suppose to have more challenges. I played the demo and it is not bad. I may need to play it some more to be sure.
