I've looked up what Stats.Inc is providing, and the most important features are in depth breakdowns of stuff like spacing, touches players are getting in specific spots of the court and so on. So more tendency and strategy stuff. Pretty cool.
For ratings, bballreference or even just the basic shot locations on hoopdata are more than enough if the "insider" knew what he's doing. I mean you still have to watch the games. But you need someone who knows a bit about basketball for that. Still don't know whether rosters are updated by one "insider" or a "team". Ld2k has said both things, that's a bit confusing to me.

So I'm taking it you're not buying the game this year.

I'm liking what i've read so far as the gameplay improvements, but really, my purchase, as ever will be based on the classic teams. If they've removed any or watered it down even more since 2k13 then it's a no no.

Holy crap! Lovin reading things like this.. seems like they went ALL gameplay this year. Little disappointed as it seems the association was completely ignored again. Bit that's actually fine if all of these gameplay improvements show to be the real deal!

I'm hype.

Maybe the productive talk was taking him off the project all together.. the most productive thing he could do is stop being a roster updater.

100% agree. I don't think I played a single game with current rosters in 2k13. All signs point to no classics. The LBJ mode (all modern teams), euroteams, MJ's contract expiring with no word on it being renewed (gotta think that would be news). I don't have much faith in classic teams being in this season.

Additions and gameplay improvements sound great and I love the idea of crew but for the first time ever...2k will not be a 1st day must buy game for me.

Classic teams are in 2K14.

Should be good couple of weeks...I hope they give us more info on the dynamic roster updates...I'm really curious if 2k Insider is still in charge of the rosters...
