Hahaha so true

About the jumpers I noticed the 3 rookies I tried had they jumpshots changed.

Norris Cole (no rating update ) , JaJuan Johnson and Reggie Jackson, and so far it looks like at least they did a good job here, their jumpers look way more better now.

LaMarcus Aldridge finally has his jumpshot fixed as well.

looks like they gave Kyle Lowry way too big of a three point boost too. He now has an 88 3pt rating. Didn't look to see what else he got boosted but an 88 3pt rating is way too high.

whoever updated probably doesn't watch the games

By the way, the roster update is not showing up when you start a new online association (not even the update from two weeks ago)

What's up with this?

i agree, that midrange should have gone up though

Just for reference, an 88 3PT rating means that a player is expected to shoot around 42-45% from 3PT for the rest of the season (and presumably their career). That kind of percentage would likely rank a player among the top 25 3PT shooters of all-time.

I wouldn't have problems with Ricky or Lowry being 85 in 3pt (they are shooting well, specially Lowry), as long as they keep updating the ratings almost every week , but I don't like this move because there is a high chance that those guys lower their % to something like 34% during the season, and I bet they still will be +85 3pt shooters until 2k13...

Exactly and we all know Lowry isn't that. That's why I'm shocked(even though I shouldn't really be) that they boosted him that high. 2K's three point ratings in the game have no type of consistency at all. I mean just look at the two guys we have been talking about here that got big boost. Rubio is at .407 on the year and Lowry is at .406 yet Lowry gets a rating three points higher. I mean are they giving Lowry an axtra three points vor the volume?? It really doesn't make sense.
