I know, I was just using it as an example.

They aren't taking attributes away. What they're doing is letting the greatest players in the game set the standards for current and future players. Current players are going to play like themselves, don't worry.

They're not doing that. They're just ranking each ability based on the best ever at that ability being 99.

Jordan being great at midranges won't make anyone worse than they really are. In fact Jordan probably doesn't have the highest midrange rating. Jordan will just be rated at 99 OVERALL, and the overall scaling will be scaled according to him as well.

If a current player IS the best ever at a ability, then they WILL be rated 99. For example, Curry will likely have a 99 rating on off-the-dribble 3 point shooting and the highest total amongst all 3-point categories. Or he better.

I always tinker with the ratings and make my own roster when the game comes out actually analyzing advanced stats and shooting charts so it really doesn't matter to me. Also, why is that scrub Dellavadova a 71 he deserves nothing above a 69... 2K will make '98 Michael Jordan a 99 and then give players like LBJ and KD who were better than him by that point less than a 95 c'mon a lot of these historical players are overpowered if we're being real yet they set the bar.

Wow I said the exact same thing. Jordan declined after baseball athletically and defensively but they give him the same defensive stats as his 27 year old self. Just yesterday I said that 2013-2014 KD and LeBron shouldn't be rated lower than 35 year old Jordan and all hell broke loose.

Look at Pink Diamond Jordan. He somehow gets better rebounding than Pink Diamond LeBron. It makes no sense.

I really hope that this means that although my 3pt shot is maxed out, I need to hit a bunch of 3pt shots to improve the rating on MyPlayer.

It would be nice to see MyPlayers attributes somehow reflect how they play online/offline...

If all you do is chuck 3s, fine have a high 3pt rating, but your passing, offensive rebounding, driving, post game attributes will suffer.

I don't understand why 2k allows people to be all around gods. There hasn't ever been a single player that could shoot like curry and post like Hakeem ever constantly, yet it's a couple 1,000 VC away from being able to do it...

Lol, look at this. You RESPONDED to me FIRST. All I did was point out that I believe that KD has been the best basketball player since 2013-14 which is apparently a sin on this site full of LBJ stans (not calling you one). Funny part is I don't even like KD, nor Bran. They both flop like bitches but are the two best in the game. I give credit when it's due. I then broke down LeBron's '15 Finals and you took offense to that.


The fact that you haven't even refuted any of my points pertaining to the previous example of all those superstars going through their injury-plagued seasons and had to have another poster explain to you why the West is exponentially better than the East is comical. Here you are instead accusing me of living in a "fantasy world" (wtf?) because I don't find LeBron's Finals run that impressive. His last 3 runs were easily better, IMHO, should I put it.


By the way, this post is no way, shape, or form written in a way to disrespect you. Just clearing things out.

dont worry its easier for someone to take, and stand firm on a position when they take the "its beneath me" approach and don't have to defend it...

and again, once a player hits unrestricted free agency he CHOOSES which conference he plays in...

This entire topic is a fantastic example of why I don't involve myself in conversations anymore.
