Monta Ellis an 83? He had a better season then Stephen "83" Jackson... wtf. Ellis should be 85 or 86 IMO.

The OVR isn't a grading of your previous season, it's an index number of your skills.

If you look at the areas of volume scoring by both players, they're actually very evenly matched. In isolation, they're at 0.83 and 0.85 points per possession, and spot up they're at 0.95 and 1.01. Jackson is much better at converting on cuts and offensive rebounds, for example. The only area Monta is clearly ahead of Jackson is in the P&R.

On defense, Jackson is clearly better than Ellis across the board. Their overall stats is allowing a score in 37.3% of the possessions for Jackson and 41.8% in Ellis's case.

All in all, everything I can find indicates that their skills seen overall are pretty damn equal. Thus, their similar OVR is also quite justified.

I have an issue with certain MidRange Ratings but I wonder about the HOT & COLD zones.

MidRange 75 or better

Example: In 2k11, Billups, Douglas, Fields, Melo, Amare & Mason were players that were consistent jumpshot shooters.

In 2k12, it seems that I can only count on Douglas, Melo & Amare.

I wonder if Billups's 69 Mid Rating increases to 85 if he's in his HOT ZONE.
Same goes for Walker, S.Williams, Fields, Mason. Certain areas should increase, I hope.

Wasn't really feelin that 83 either, but I like the way you broke that day.

Look, I understand Dirk isn't a shutdown post defender, but him being an 85 overall is criminal.

IS DIRK REALLY AN 85... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? CAN ANYONE SAY NBA FINALS MVP.. NOBODY COULD STOP HIM. NOT WADE, NOT LEBRON BOTH OF WHICH ARE RANKED HIGHER? I'M SORRY NBA 2K12 IS AN AMAZING GAME BUT THIS IS JUST FREAKING RIDICULOUS. IT MAKES ME QUESTION THE DEVELOPERS, DO THEY ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAMES? CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A DAMN CLUE.
