Height Consistency Badges Off-Dribble Steve Kerr's record breaking season for 3PT % should be used as the prototype when assigning 3PT ratings.

Couldn't disagree more about basketball being nothing but numbers and probability. You have to watch tape to see HOW a player does something to truly understand what they're good and not good at. Just looking at Kerr's percentages, he shoots it better than Curry, but Curry by far takes more shots and more diffcult shots and is a much more impressive shooter. I think 2k does well with rating players but acting like numbers are the be all end all is pretty ridiculous imo.

A game = A basketball VIDEO GAME. Not "basketball."

And yes, attempts should be factored into shot ratings

ON THE WHOLE - this will be one of the single greatest improvements to resolve longevity & gameplay issues

ON A SMALLER SCALE - if this is executed properly, we will see a MUCH quicker project release on our part...

how will this impact rating fluctuations during the nba season? I am surprised no one has asked this question yet

That's awesome. Didn't notice that was added. Peak Start/End has been in the game for years as a hidden rating (red mc users are aware of it). Opening that up to us to be easily edited will allow me to fix my disagreements via roster editing actually.

Great to hear, have been a propponent of this for a long time ... hopefuly, the rest of the team that handles the sim stats engine has been able to tune the results so they are in line with these changes.

As usual, we need everything editable, from the oncourt (gameplay) and offcourt (sim stats engine and roster building/trades logic) fronts.

Out of all the news released so far, this has my attention the most. Hopefully it translate well in the gameplay.

Finally 2K thinks about ratings comparisons that involve current and past players. This is good, but how can you start with Dennis Rodman as a rebounding example when Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain are in the game? These are the 1st 2 players that should receive 99 offensive/defensive rebounding ratings. The Worm was great but NOT 99 great. 95 yes but NOT 99.
