NBA 2k12 Ratings Reasonable Explanation

[darsin]

I have been thinking about kobe having 78 midrange jumper while amare has 88 and i have come up with only one explanation:

Hot spots.

It can be Everywhere is a hot spot for kobe which gives some additional points to the actual ability (just a guess +15?)

While it has been lots of cold spots for amare which makes the opposite. ?

i wonder if this can be a reasonable answer? ( if so it still doesnt explain how josh smith has better passing than monta ellis )

I know people around here seems to hate Rashidi for some reason, but I think he broke it down pretty well in his blog.

In other words, 2K pretty much didn't do ****.

or it just means 2k thinks that their ratings are supposed to be correct, which is worse actually.. ah well.. and yeah i just dont get all the hate on rashidi lol..

I love Kobes game but Amares midrange was just lethal last year !
Kobe misses alot of midrange he is very streaky .
NOT hating on kobe at all probably respect him as a player the most since MJ .
He is an assassin !

based on that article, seems like 2k didn't analyze anything with regards to quality of shot taken in the real NBA.

these shooting stats should mean how good they are shooting the same shot as everyone else instead of their numbers in real life. i'm pretty sure kobe is better than amare if you put them both in a gym and let them shootout from 'mid' range

But again like in the other thread.... Kobe med range is 78 but he probably has the highest shoot off the dribble and shoot in traffic rating for a shooting guard. While Amare on the other probably has a very high Med range because he actually takes more spot up jumpers compared to Kobe who probably takes and make most of his med jumper off the dribble. I bet you Kobe can hit way more tougher jumpers than Amare in a game situation.

Med range is a base rating. The supporting ratings are SOD and SIT. And that's where Kobe is great at.

Last year in 2k11 I played with someone 2001-2002 rosters. But when I saw Iverson med range rating was 70.... This was after dropping 50 plus with severally times lol... But his SOD and SIT were 99...

I'm just curious about knowing who is the crazy guy who decided to give Zabian Dowdell a 90 in mid range, Pooh Jeter a 95, and Brandon Roy a 71???

What are those other guys SOD and SIT ratings?... I bet you a brand new copy of NBA 2K12 that they can't score like Kobe or Brandon Roy can.
