That's because they are F's... lol.... A contest shot is a contested shot.

I wish I wouldn't take the bait, but I can't help it

So Curry's overall 93 ... wait as I type this I notice he's been bumped to a 94. HAPPY DC?!?!

Anyway let's examine...

90 Standing Close
92 Moving Close
88 Standing Medium
89 Moving Medium
95 Standing 3
95 Moving 3
98 Shot IQ
91 Free Throw
97 Standing Layup
95 Driving Layup
36 Driving Dunk
25 Standing Dunk
25 Contact Dunk

As you can see (and I'm sure many overall obsessors don't make it this far) he's already one of if not the greatest shooter of all time (which he very well might be). You're listing his stats saying he's shooting 50% averaging 38 a game. (He's actually averaging 37 shooting 59% but who's counting? Not you) Well he has no problem shooting over 50% with these ratings in MyLeague/MyGM and ppg are more driven by tendencies than ratings. So what do you see here that needs to be raised? Yeah lets hike that dunk rating up if it'll get us to 95 overall!

97 Ball Control
98 Pass Accuracy
89 Passing Vision
97 Passing IQ

Handles are fine. But I would argue he's really overrated in his passing ratings, specifically his passing vision. Do you really think he's one of the greatest passers of all time?

Steph has been at about 39% assist percentage for the last 3 years including this season. I know how low his turnovers are, that's what Ball Control, Passing IQ and Accuracy are for.

I would argue that passing ratings across the board are a tad inflated, (03 Chauncey Billups is apparently almost John Stockton as well) but Steph is up there with Magic according to this. Magic was 49% in '90-'91.

In 2k's rating scale, there's a ton of separation between average passers and good passers, but not much at all between good and great passers. So Curry's ratings more a reflection of the top-squished scale.

36 Offensive Reb
53 Defensive Reb
64 Box Out

O and D are good, his rebounding percentage is about where it was last year.
Boxing Out is definitely inflated across the board, that's why Anthony Davis is always top 3 in rebounding in your MyLeagues despite not having as good Off and Def Reb ratings as others.

84 On Ball Defense
30 Post Defense
86 Pick and Roll Defensive IQ
84 Help Defense
95 Pass Perception
85 Steal
37 Block
79 Shot Contest

His D ratings aren't egregious, in fact you could argue they are good, definitely don't warrant any upgrade however. You praised his 2.5 steals, he's at 85 so this could maybe get a bump BUT NOT AFTER 4 GAMES.

I'm not going to touch on his physicals as these are fine.

So in summary, if we're being honest, anything short of maxing his shootings ratings out to 99, (which is what I'm sure you want) his overall isn't going way up if his passing ratings are corrected.

The moral of the story is, Steph Curry is possibly the greatest shooter of all time, but he's NOT one of the great defenders of all time nor is he the greatest passer of all time so as a PG, he will not have one of the greatest OVERALL ratings of all time.

I wish tendencies got the same attention ratings do. But this is a result of the focus being online gaming.

Curry was rated generously already out of the box in several areas. I hate these cosmetic overall adjustments that 2K engages in.

Not arguing that. My point is he's hitting contested 3s at 49%. Can u do that in NBA2k16? Obviously not.

Justified and well deserved!

I only hope your vigor is just as telling when Curry comes down back down to Earth and his ratings go down a notch or two.

And congrats to the Greek Freak, you are now a 80
