Can you could elaborate as to what are some of the overall formulas possible for a given position might be based on?

We will be elaborating on this in the future, this was just to add some perspective in the ratings that are being released. But in the past, player's overall rating by position was calculated by a singular formula. In 2K15 there are many different formulas that are calculated that will look at certain individual attributes with more weight than others to account for different player types. Of those formulas the highest Overall is selected. The overall formula from games past is still there, but many other formulas are being calculated to accurately display the overall worth of a player who specializes in a certain part of the game.

In years past many claimed Overall ratings "mean nothing". This year they should. Player's Overall rating should finally be the point of debates.

Does this revamped formula include 2k15 across all platforms bed or is it primarily for next/current gen/pc? Hope this question isn't off topic guys..

I think the new ratings formula will just place more weight/importance to specific individual ratings based on what "type" of player is being rated.. a shot blocking rim defender might not get docked if he can't shoot, and a stretch 4 won't get docked if he can't block shots.. guys like Kyle Korver and Tony Allen for example could theoretically have the same overall.

The more "complete" players will still have highest ratings, but now "specialists" might finally get some love.. excited to see how it works out..

Good stuff Beds!

I get it now I think. It sounds like the individual ratings will determine player type in a sense.

2K did us all a service by hiring you, Beds.

I do wish that a team's system factored in as well. An example being a player excelling in the Spurs' system, but seeing a drop in rating when traded to somewhere like the Knicks, who are running the Triangle Offense this year.

Not a big deal for me, though, I love the new system! I'm sure it'll help MyLEAGUE play out much better!

Oh, and one question - Has there been any changes to player potential?

We should have some nice overalls that will lead to some good debates with this new system..
