If ratings are actually being adjusted undeservedly, then I agree...that's why I was asking for an example...

Otherwise I don't like to bash those guys for doing their job....for all the "bad marketing" comments made around here, this is no brainer stuff ....of course you interact with NBA players when they tweet....

KD lol? Are you serious. Now Westbrook I can agree with but KD naw. I don't know what games you are watching.

Did you watch Kobe shoot and shoot and miss and miss contested shot after contested shot?

The difference in shot selection is when you can hit said shots even close to an average rate. Kobe was chucking shots stats which back up the video of what I watched. If he made a decent rate he would be ok but his shots were bad contested shots which he didn't make.

As someone so eloquently stated earlier in this thread, the shots Steph takes would have had 90% of the players in the league benched.

Just because you make the shot doesn't mean it's not a poorly selected shot. Kobe got away with ridiculously poorly selected shots for years, but now that they're not falling, it's an issue of shot selection, when his shot selection has always been poor.

The shot selection is much worse when he knows, the other team knows and the other players knows he aint making it.

The funny thing about Steph is he shoots almost as good as when contested as when he is open whether off the dribble etc. Steph is just on a totally different planet in term of shooting limitless range. I guess you are talking some of his off the dribble shots are crazy which they are but he makes them.

Kobe shoots some of the most contested shots I have seen.

Kobe last year shot 10 tightly contested jumpers per game

He shot 30.7% on contested jumpers is what I am getting at


Steph last year shot 4 tightly contested jumpers per game

Steph shot 41.2% on contested shots shots.

Kobe shot more contested jumpers in 35 games then Steph did the whole season man.

So per 40 shots LeBron would miss one more shot than Jordan.. Does that make Jordan "straight up bad" as well? Is 2k going to lower Jordan's ratings for his past prime self? Likely not, so that's where this is unfair. Jordan also wasn't averaging borderline triple doubles and grabbing over 13 rebounds.. So yes excuse me for thinking LeBron's performance shouldn't require him to have a rating drop when he's piling up numbers like guys from the 60's in today's slower paced and lower statistical era. To put in perspective, 2k15 a 2nd year Jordan is a 94, rookie Tim Duncan is a 90, Payton is a 92, Wilt a 94 not prime 50ppg Wilt but 35 year old Wilt who averaged 14 points per game, Oscar is a 95 not triple double averaging Oscar but the 33 year old who averaged 17/7/5, Iverson LOL a 93, Shaq at 23 years old a 95, Julius Erving (does nothing better than LeBron) is a 95.. 30 year old Bird is a 98, 30 year old LeBron is a 94. Their stats? Per 36min Bird 24.9/6.8/8.2 and his playoff numbers 27/7/10 at 44 minutes, Per 36 LeBron 25.2/7.4/6 his playoff numbers 30.1/8.5/12 at 42 minutes.. But go on and keep telling me how those guys aren't being overvalued and current stars undervalued. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't LeBron a 96 in 2K15 with the -7 update? Doesn't that mean he's really a 97 or 98 with all the shooting attributes back up in 2K15? How do we know that they aren't changing the legends' ratings too?

Long time Laker fan here..

Let's be honest. Yes, Kobe took terrible shots last year, but he also led the league in scoring for what, 2 months? Thats impressive for a 36 year old, i dont' care what anyone says.


Also, who else was going to score on the Lakers? Swaggy was terrible last year.. that was our only other scorer. What was kobe to do? Let JOhnson and JLIN score? lol Lets get real people, Kobe had to do what he had to do. Lakers were a terrible team last year.

At least this year he has scorers on his team like Lou, Clarkson, and Russ. Maybe Throw in Swaggy,

The second bolded statement is why the first statement happened. It's almost the same situation as Melo in NY. Who else was/is going to score on that team? Melo is going to be the Kobe a chucker who is playing on a horrible team and is coming off a big injury and will be in the top 5 in scoring this season.

The sad part is the people in here always screaming for 2k to have more defense in the game are justifying this rating by offense only and completely IGNORING the fact that he was worse than what people were clowning James Harden for on D.
