NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top 10 Players

[BigT34]

I kind of like that the single OVR formula seems to overvalue offensive ability, just as teams do in real life.

See Melo's presence here, and the absence of any true center.

If you put any stock in Wins Produced/48, which attempts to measure the marginal value of specific events, and, unlike a lot of stats like PER, actually accounts for shooting efficiency, DeAndre Jordan led the league last year, followed by Steph Curry and CP3. You could certainly make a case that DeAndre is one of the 10 best players in the NBA.

If you go back and look at WP/48 over the past decade or so, it generally tracks well with who we think of as having been the best players in a given year, but it always serves up some interesting surprises.

What will be interesting is if, in spite of not having a top-10 OVR, he could make just as valuable a contribution to your roster in 2k16. If so, that leads to some exciting chances to find hidden value in players with the right skills, just like in real life.

I see Harden,Westbrook, Durant,Paul, and Davis being better than Curry. Just my opinion!

The problem there is the OVR is much more important for the AI's decision-making than it is to any human-based ones. The AI does not have the freedom to find hidden gems, which will lead to offense-only lineups and ineffectively built rosters.

Modern NBA teams caught onto the Bruce Bowen type long ago (and why such players are necessary alongside great offensive players) and it's inexcusable for 2K not to keep pace with the line of thinking.

You won't see this all in a league-wide top 10 list. It becomes rather evident the further down you go. Danny Green isn't even a top 20 SG while Kobe Bryant is top 5 (etc).

I feel you shouldn't be considered a top 10 player if your team only won 17 games last season.
That's just my crazy belief thou.

So you punish a guy for playing on a bad leg? Then getting injured? While out a D-league team was on court?..... so he falls out the top 10 because of what?

I'll just say I have my own opinions. There's a couple inefficient players here that wouldn't crack my top 10 personally.

Blake griffin should at least be a 90 overall
