Rondo with a 78 midrange would be hilarious, seeing how that is automatic for 2K standards. 78 midrange would be accurate for Rondo, however, if they make his shot release slow like it is in real life, his shoot-in-traffic rating pretty low (although he shoots in traffic very well in the paint, so how do they reconcile that?), and his shoot-off-dribble rating low.

I keep saying this, you guys can't just look at somebody's fg% from midrange and just say "oh his rating should be higher than so-and-so because he shot higher than so-and-so." you have to look at the difficulty of shots that they make as well. A lot of Rondo's shots were because guys weren't respecting him and leaving him wide open. That's a lot easier shot than someone like Kobe who's usually the other teams focal point on defense and almost always has at least 1 hand in his face.

They way I've seen some people use Rondo in 2k12, I'd say it's already too high.

They never have been "spot on" or even semi-accurate before, so that's a mighty leap of faith you're taking. Past performance does not dictate future results but it's a mighty good indicator.

If you've been tweaking a roster based on that logic then your formula is incorrect. Also, although the impact is minor, you're also still disregarding the 10-15 ft range for Mid-Range shots.

Rondo's Mid rating should be between 68-71 based on his statistics for the past 2 seasons. I personally have him at 71 due to his higher percentage in the 16-23 range which gives him a slight boost in the formula and another 1pt boost because he's taking a large percentage of those shots off-the-dribble.

Yeah as others pointed out he shot that high with open shots. Then add his 10-15ft 28% last year, 3-9ft 26% and I don't see much room to go up I am saying his shooting has not improved and his ft is low as well

I hope it is just the formula to rate his affect in association. I like Rondo so this is not a knock on him. The same with Durant he went from a 94 to a 95. None of his shooting changed he is almost maxed for med. I think they probably gave him a bump in defense and maybe a slight increase for passing.

You're saying they either changed the formula or increased some of his shooting ratings. No point missed. I still say it's possible for a point guard to be rated 90+ with bad MID, 3PT and FT ratings. Without changing the rating system. Period.

If you look at the heat zones in practice, and knowing the center of the free throw line is 15ft from the backboard, it's safe to assume 10-15 ft belongs under close rating, not midrange.

# 108 Optik @ 08/28/12 01:44 PM

It's simply laughable that Melo is still a 90+ player. His play at New York has proved that he is anything BUT that.

The arrogant ignorance of some offliners to the fact that ratings matter for online matches is simply astounding.

Technically you're correct that the game treats it that way, but to get realistic FG percentages (sim engine included) the close and mid ranges need to collapse. It's mostly due to the horrible hard-coded cap on the Inside and Close ranges.

For "pure" gameplay, 16-23 is Mid. Rondo would still be rated between 68-71 in Mid shot. His FG% including 10-15% is 38.6%, excluding is 39%.

Of course you can do that if you artificially enhance some of his other ratings. You can turn him into a westbrook but that wouldn't be realistic, or give him post abilities like Jefferson. Again I am saying I hope they didn't turn Rondo into some jump shooting threat

Why do people care so much about Kobe and Melo's ratings?

If Kobe was a 99 or an 85, he will still drop 30+ because of his skill set, same with Melo.

And for those who say Melo is over rated, you obviously don't know the numbers he put up when Woodson took over and what he did against Miami in the playoffs. I know he lost in 5 games but so did everybody's favorite player since 2 yrs ago Durant.

I will be the 1st to admit that LeBron and Durant are on a whole different level than anybody else, but to sit there and say Kobe and/or Melo shouldn't be in the 90's is plain stupid.

Compare Kobe and Melo's stats to any SG/SF in the league not named LeBron or Durant, they put up better numbers than ANYONE and that's a fact. Even Wade came up short on the offensive end when compared to Kobe or Melo.

Kobe, Carmelo, Durant, Wade & LeBron are the top 5 go to guys in the league and if you feel that either one of those guys don't deserve to be in the 90's, you don't know about basketball and obviously don't know how the attributes/skills work for 2K.

P.S. Kevin Durant may have won the scoring title 3 years in a row but a TRUE NBA fan knows that Kobe and Carmelo are the best scorers in the league. Durant is amazing don't get me wrong but he relies on his jumpshot and fastbreaks to get buckets. Kobe and Melo have a full arsenal of moves from ISO to the post to Ranged shots. They can score at will from anywhere at any scenario on the court.

Also, based on the last 2 seasons, Carmelo Anthony is the most clutch player based off the last 2mins of the 4th qtr/overtime. Look it up.

Melo is the best scorer on his team. That's about it. He is maybe the third best scorer at his position. I would give him the edge over PP only because of age.

Can someone ban the LouYorkCity guy already or give him a warning? wtf.
