Last years ratings are very different, in most cases 2K15 is like starting with a fresh clean slate. The way that overalls are calculated are different, and as some of the screen shots suggest we have many different new attributes in 2K15.

Russell Westbrook is a way better defender than Harden & a slightly better overall player. Harden may be a better decision maker with the ball but I still think Westbrook should be a tad higher than Harden.

If you categorize players based on their play styles and then grade them on how good they are at that specific style, a guy like Tony Allen should be in the top 15. Sure he couldn't drop 25 points to save his own life, but as far as perimenter defense, LeBron, Jimmy Butler, PG13 and maybe Shumpert are the only other guys in the conversation. Right? What am I missing?

What appears to be happening to me is they have a calculator per position and player type. Each rating gets a different weight factor based off what player type calculation they are using. If say you have an defensive SG like Tony Allen they don't turn off all of the offensive ratings and rate only the defensive say for defensive player type which Tony Allen would be rated high at. They just turn down offensive weight factor in the defensive player type calculation.

So it is probably works something like this:

• All Around Player Type each rating gets a 1.0 weight factor applied to each rating or something like this
• Defensive Player Type, they probably apply a heavier weight factor say 1.25-1.5 or something to the defensive ratings but they are still using the other ratings but the weight factor is just lowered probably like a .75 or something on the scoring weight factors like shooting.
• So if you are defensive specialist they don't just rate your on ball defense and say you are a 90 defensive because you have a 90 On ball defense rating and high def awareness your overall rating is 90 nope. They just weigh the defensive ratings higher in the defensive player type calculator equation.
• You can apply the same thing for the athletic and rebounding as well.

The idea is that attribute points in a category that a player is identified in are weighted higher. So "Steal" and "On ball defense" may be worth .3 points to a defensive minded player like Tony Allen, but only be worth .2 points to a guy like Kyle Korver whereas it's the reverse for shooting categories.

So let me get this straight, Rose is an 88, and so is Westbrook? Did they watch the NBA? This isn't MVP Rose we are talking about...

On no planet is Stephen Curry a better player than Russell Westbrook. Westbrook's last 2 seasons are better than any season Curry has ever had and this postseason Russ was one of the leagues best few players while Curry had a terrible postseason. And that's not even mentioning defensively where Curry is nowhere near Westbrook.
