I really like the fact that Ibaka's midrange rating of 85 ( 47 FG% on 3.7 attempts) is still worse than Josh Smith's (86 mid rating while shooting 30%). Great job 2k!

Another thing...since there was no update for PC recently...does Kobe still have the same 82 3pt rating as Dirk? One is shooting 34% from three, the other 42%, am I right to assume that the "insider" doesn't care?

i would say going from shooting 6 threes in 3 yrs combined... to hitting 20/57 this season (35%) warrants an update

not to make him kyle korver or anything... but to at least honour the fact that he added it to his game

as for the josh smith stat... im pretty sure the rating also incorporates tendency(and not only percentage) - which i believe is correct

thats what im saying. hes shotting them better now, and that right corner three seems to be his spot. if 2k doesn't update that, then im done with this game. too many glitches, wrong player ratings, and the developers obviously don't bring in basketball experts for this game. This game was great in theory, but still needs to fix its bugs.

I agee that Ibaka's 3pt rating needs to be higher. What exactly do you mean by incorporating tendency regarding Josh Smith?

that smith takes more mid range shots than ibaka, so his rating should be higher.

granted that is terrible reasoning when there is a mid range tendency rating.

let me explain what i meant
(using random players and numbers)
if kyle korver shoots 200 3-pointers in a season and hits 39% ... and dwight howard went 9/9 = 100% .. should dwight have the higher rating because he went 100%? no..
even taking ibaka's actual stats - he went 1/2 = 50% his rookie season.. better than all of the top 3 point shooters.. imo volume/tendency should play a role in ratings

i dont feel like looking up the actual numbers/breakdown... but if smith is taking significantly more shots from distance (with comparable %) then he should probably have the higher stat... if he isnt, he shouldnt

no, 9/9 doesnt count that is common sense...

i also don't think chuckers should get a higher rating because they chuck

ibaka has taken 11 fewer mid range shots than smith all year

I get your point and agree in general...Both Ibaka and Smith take about 4 midrange shots per game. The insider has simply no clue at all.

There are many better high attempt midrange shooters rated worse than Smith, for example Bargnani, Boozer, Lee, Horford, Jefferson and even Glen Davis. Meanwhile, DeMarcus Cousins gets an 85 for shooting 31%...he was pretty solid last year, but the 2k roster guy was too busy editing headbands to care about updating ratings...
