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

So if I play against the Lakers I want Kobe taking bad shots with a heavy usage rate, touch tendency and he should be missing a lot of them. Kobe took almost 10 contested jumpers a game or tightly contested of his 20 FGA. When the majority of the shots you can get off are contested jumpers it says your athleticism has faded and you can't blow by defenders anymore. The Lakers were better per possession with Kobe off the court I have a feeling Kobe will be somewhere in the 81-83 range. His defense is not there anymore if you look up his defense stats. Players actually shot better when guarded by Kobe.

All true but you can't ignore his 12-13 season either where he was very healthy for the most part putting up numbers no 34+ year old has before.

Now that you bring up those stats, I'm extremely interested to see what kind of rating Iverson is going to get.

Yeah but he is not there anymore Kobe is 37 he has played too many minutes. If I had to guess the championship Iverson is going to be somewhere in the upper 80's. High speed, layup, dribbling and probably steal rating

It is not a surprise that the Bulls won 72/69 games subsequently in 96 and 97 and that no team has come close. Jordan 3PT Short Line (95-97): 238-589 (40.4%, 1.3 per game) Normal Line: 343-1189 (28.8%, 0.3 per game)

Whaa? How does the shortened three point line benefit only Jordan and the Bulls? Every other team was shooting from the same shortened line. Unless it was being repainted every half just for the Bulls.


Now the three point stats during that period are obviously skewed but I don't see how it provides some sort of unfair advantage for Jordan alone. How does a rule that applies to every shooter unbalance the league? Because Jordan was somehow uniquely better than everyone at shooting extreme long 2's?

I think you are more or less missing my point given that I was initially discussing conference balance.

No other team was as equipped to take advantage of the changes, which is why they dominated to the degree that they did.

1996: 115.2 ORTG (1st), 40.3 3PT% (3rd), 13.1 TO% (1st), 36.9 ORB% (1st)
1997: 114.4 ORTG (1st), 37.3 3PT% (6th), 12.5 TO% (1st), 35.9 ORB% (2nd)
1998: 107.7 ORTG (9th), 32.3 3PT% (23rd), 13.3 TO% (4th), 35.7 ORB% (2nd)

Find the variable.

So I don't slander. I only slander 2k when they take something away that they had in mint condition the year before. I will say, that it is a very dangerous experience to try to win . From health to psychological issues, if the CPU is playing that good on hall of fame difficulty, the user and user's cpu teammates should hold some leverage not even get a grip but be able to relax while playing the video game. As opposed to relaxing while trying to win. In other words, open shots, fouls, cpu teammates, transition basketball. . . All those sliders should stay the same vs the game on the half court. I remember trying to earn more VC on 2k15 playing on HOF. Had to stop, after beginning to doubt my intelligence watching all those contested shots going in right btwn the eyes of my entire team, per difficulty setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The sliders don't change the cpu gets a boost to all stats then add in they know how to play the system.
