Check the association board for proof. The sim stats were accurate and playing with both players felt more like their real life counterparts. Its contradictory to say that we read into OVR too much than say an 85 for him is too high. It seems like you guys are discrediting his ability just because he is a rookie. A rookie that is having the 3rd best rookie season in the last 40 years. Only Jordan and the Admiral were better. This whole ratings argument goes back to the fact that they dont update ratings enough in the so called Living Rosters. If the rosters were updated on a regular basis that 10 game stretch and beyond would be reflected in players who are hot and also who are struggling. Griffin has been an 82 for the last two months. Also as far as me giving you the so-called league pass story... it was just a reminder that I dont just watch highlights and go "crazy" on the ratings. I have League Pass and dont have the time to watch every single game; so have fun "downloading" and watching every single game. I understand Im a new guy around OS so you guys are going to discredit my opinion and think its "crazy" thats the only reason Ive continued to defend it with facts/stats, & expert analysis from credible sources. It just amazes me that you guys are so quick to jump on an opinion with no true counter of your own. "Your just looking at one game or your acting like hes a veteran All-Star." That to me is "crazy."

I could've sworn Shaq averaged 23 and 14 and almost 4 blocks as a rookie. Even Iverson averaged almost 24 points with over 7 assists (and a rookie record of 4 consecutive 40-point games and even a 50 point game).

90 easy!!!

LMFAO!!! This thread made me laugh so hard lol
Goodness folks lol
Are we all at least "mature" enough to realize this is just the internet??
People getting all bent out of shape like someone said he was garbage in real life or some shizz...
I never realized how seriously some people take something as insignificant as MUTHA'FLIPPING SIM STATS!!!!

Let me repeat that...not in-game performance, but SIMULATION STATS (as in Im not even playing as him, I just want his stats to look nice on my screen)

ROFL!

I do understand his numbers should increase(22 -13) and reflect his current production, but you cant omit/not factor in a players history/career production. Wallace averaged 10 rbs and was an All-Star last year plus All Defensive team. Jackson has a ring(long time ago), and is a Top 10 SF. No need to list his Playoffs heroics.

what does Wallace and Jackson production in the past have to do with their or Blake's rating now?

Ive simmed countless 1st seasons in association mode and Blake never comes close to winning rookie of the year. John Wall always wins ROY and Blake usually only averages 13-15PPG & 9-10RPG. I started a new association recently and boosted his rating to an 85 making minor tweaks to his physical attributes and tendencies. He's currently averaging 22.5PPG and 12.8RPG IRL. I adjusted the rotation to what it is IRL for this assoc.(Kaman on IR) In the assoc. Griffin made 3rd team All NBA but still lost to Wall in ROY. Though his averages were right on par with real life... 21PPG and 11.5RPG. Im currently at work so I cant look at the ratings right now... If anyone is interested in what those attribute changes were let me know!

john wall has been ridiculously overrated all year lol.

and brew... can you PM me that espn insider article you've sparked my curiousity- thanks!

Wallace - 18 -10 - Last Season, which ended in May. 4 months later the season starts. He didnt lose his skill over the summer. His default rating reflects his production.

"WAY better" is silly fan talk.

LoL. . . I here you man... some people are too... caught up in simulated statistics that it's hard to believe they actually have time to enjoy the game. I mean... don't get me wrong it's great to see near IRL stats but it's certainly not worth getting tight over.

It's still a video game

Offensively, he's streaky. But defensively, he's not too shabby.

Indeed bro. I get a good laugh from these sim heads, but it aint hurting me so its coo.

When I said rating is flawed I meant overall chemistry's formula. Fanboys say, he should be rated 95 he's the best. No fanboy cares about individual ratings only overall. Overall rating causes all the problems in association mode. No fanboy can understand this.
