Revamped Overall Formula for NBA 2K15 Player Ratings Explained

Let me just say that even though I don't agree with everything you guys are saying, I think the team is outdoing itself this year by reaching out to the community (by adding members of the community to the team nonetheless). We need thinkers like these figuring out how to work these aspects of the game and with that, it will ensure the future of the series for many years to come. Much respect.

And as a former community member, I do spend a great amount of time on the forums and I read EVERYTHING. Whether it is constructive criticism, praise, or not so constructive criticism, I think it is important for the community to know that your feedback is valued. This team has that mindset for sure

Come on man this topic ain't about MyCareer that's gonna get its own soon enough.

It will work for an extreme case like Josh Smith but it just serves to needlessly muddle the waters for the other 400 NBA players. Omer Asik had his production depressed playing out of position next to Dwight Howard but that didn't stop teams from considering him a starting-caliber center. Overall rating does not determine simulation results and stats, nor does it affect actual games played. No reason for tendencies to affect it.

OVR does affect AI trades and team building as well as contracts. That said, I'm okay with having it based just on their skills if we presume GMs understand context if a player is playing out of position or used poorly.

However, tendencies absolutely affect efficiency and on-court value in real life. Long 2 chucking Monta Ellis isn't the same as 2nd banana Monta Ellis who takes less outside 2's. That both affected his contribution, performance, advanced stats (a way better measure than raw stats) and ultimately his contract.

The difference is knowing whether the tendencies *are* the player or are because of the context. The two are obviously related but there are guys with poor tendencies for years and not all players play to their strengths and abilities. Tendencies are integral to real life player evaluation and they should ideally be reflected in some way unless they can be normalized by context.

Was this question ever touched on?

Why would it NOT be? Haven't 2 different systems is not a smart way to do these things. No, offense, but I would think the answer was obvious, honestly.
