I believe it is meaningful, for progression purposes. Not everybody can dunk, and if you have 38 Dunk as your rating you can just go into Association and do the trainings every month to get his Dunk up to 45+

I think it would make more sense if 1 was really low dunking with many missed dunks and no ability to perform anything other than the simplest one-handed jam. I'd love to see a player with 1 (0=no dunks, 1=lowest dunking ability) failing on many dunks (sometimes not getting high enough), yet able to actually go into dunking "mode".

But that would probably take a lot of motion capture. But missing dunks is part of the game, and there are many different scenarios (and animations) for missed dunks. I wonder if 2K ever captures all this.

I read on another forum that Melo doesn't have the clutch skill, WTF kind of bs is this?

First of all there is no 0 rating.

Secondly, you are wrong.

Go to 2K12, put Blakes vertical at 25 and keep his dunk rating where it is and tell me with an honest face that he isn't dunking.

Again, vertical doesn't matter.

Kobe and Melo - volume shooters. They can have as many weapons in their "arsenals" as they want but if there are only X amount of possessions in a game that your TEAM can score on, and you are using up most of them to score less than half the time, you are not an elite ball player. LeBron, Durant, Wade, Paul, D-Will are the ELITE. Rose is on the shelf til I see for myself. Dirk and PP are on the way down, but can be offensively elite when the time calls

If you don't think Kobe or Melo are elite players then you either know something the rest of the basketball world doesn't, or you're not firing on all cylinders.

I couldn't dislike an athlete more than I do Melo. I'm fully aware of his shortcomings, believe me as I love to point them out each and every time he is on the court and I'm watching. Regardless of that, dude can play ball.

Kobe and Melo aren't even on the same level.
