Melo is still the same, overrated player. No D, bad shot selection, ball stopper. Ed Davis needs an upgrade though. Bargnani needs a decrease. Jose needs an edit, as does DeMar, Fields (too high), Pietrus (too high), Ross, Kleiza... basically the entire Raptors roster. This is the same with almost every non-glamour team in the NBA. Stop editing the same teams and stars and start paying attention to the ENTIRE league. I'm really getting sick of 2K crapping on us with these terrible, half-assed roster updates. And FFS, get rid of the injuries. No one wants them. No one wanted them years ago, no one wants them now. They should be used STRICTLY for NBA Today Associations and that's it. It's not rocket science.

shut up melo is playing great stop being a *****. he playing great d now and scoring with high fg percent and shooting much better from 3's. so melo should be 94 overall like durent

So what is your actual rating upgrades?

Don't just say Melo should be a 94 because that is what you think he should be, provide statistical proof.

P.S. he isn't playing great D, solid but not great.

melo shouldnt be a 94 because he isnt playing on the same level as durant. But he should be back to his 92 rating because he is not playing THAT much worse than kd.

When will you people realize that overalls for stars simply don't matter? As long as you can put up 30 a night with Melo, than it shouldn't matter if he's a 94 or a god damn 85. Unless it affects who is starting in Association or MyCareer, than overall doesn't matter.

Exactly. Melo is the type of offensive player who can drop 30 on any given night and be rated in the 80's. I've put up 20 and 10 with Zaza Pachulia against the Knicks and he's maybe a 64 or 65. Not that I expect to do that every game.

If he becomes more of a consistent defensive presence and continues to rebound well I'm sure he'll end up back in the 90-92 range. This is probably the most active I've seen him in both areas honestly.

Yes melo is the hardest person to guard in the nba. But statistically kd is doing better this year in everything but scoring a three point percentage. His team is also doing better. I am one of the biggest melo fans you will find. But he shouldn't be at the level of kd unless he does even better than he is doing now or if KD falls of a little bit. He should still be a 92 because he is close to the level kd is playing at right now. But he isn't there yet. I feel he is playing better defense than kd this year also but kd has more rebounds and more assist than melo this year so it's hard to argue that he should be the same rating.
