An In-Depth Look at the Changes to the NBA 2K16 Ratings System

[stillfeelme]

The only thing that will be subjective is the rebounds and some of the ratings. There are not stats for everything that dates way back say past 1982 or 81 for rebounds. They didn't have rebound % at least on basketball-reference.com. Do a search for Wilt Chamberlain and you will notice he was averaging 27 rebounds/g but they don't have separate stats for offense and defense rebounds.

Also things like blocks were not recorded way back when I think they started recording that in 1974, so it will be interesting how Beds rate great centers who were shot blockers but there is no data to back it up.

Overall this sounds like it will be very good though and what he is saying sounds like they eliminated some known cheesy animations.

The thing about the foul rate thing specifically Harden I hope they gave Harden specific animations. He uses the one move where he places his arms under the defender and throws his hands up. Dude is a master at drawing contact, combine that with a nasty handle and he is tough to stop.

That's a great list (and stat to back up the ratings), but it doesn't include the really GREAT rebounders, e.g. Chamberlain, Russell, Thurmond.

If you assume they played every minute (many of them did) their rebound rates are 23-25% on average. No way to tell unless someone can watch game film to figure out the difference between OFF/DEFF, but either way, not hard to imagine Chamberlain and Russell (et al) being superior rebounders to Rodman.

Also, Rodman only had sustained elite level rebounding for 7 seasons. Chamberlain and Russell were well over 10+ seasons at that level.

This.

Yes. Harden, among players all time, is ELITE at getting to the FT line in ANY period of the NBA. Elite. Jordan, Jerry West, Chamberlain, Malone, Robertson, Malone.

The news keeps getting better.

Every sports game needs to follow a HOF scale, but I am thinking of one in particular.

Catch up to what? Rings? There are players with more rings than Jordan

Well tech their stats don't count and the level of play back then was meh IMO and for their physical stature the game was pretty easy . Not trying to down them but any star from the late 80's / 90's /00's would put up insane numbers prob better than theirs .

With all said in sure those guys will get their justice but Rodman was in a more physical era getting those rebound numbers at 6'7 .

Talking about Jordan's all around pedigree as a player on and off the court .
