Hidden Rating in NBA 2k13?

[Hyperballer21]

Does anyone have any idea what this rating could be? Here is an example of how some players are rated in this mystery category;

J. Holiday 27
J. Richardson 60
E. Turner 60
S. Hawes 78
A. Bynum 84
T. Young 68
N. Young 34
L. Allen 77
R. Ivey 29
K. Brown 66
D. Wright 55
A. Moultrie 66

It looks like smaller players have this low, while bigger players have this fairly high. I wish I knew what it does...

Might be related to low post ... dont know for sure as I still havent mess with 2K13 editing but in 2Ks prior 12 there used to be 2 Low post ratings: Low Post Shot & Low Post Offense ... one of them is now divided into the hook/fade ratings, so, is the other still there or might these be it ?

Again, dont know why 2K does this ... to hid ratings/tendencies and variables that directly affect gameplay/sim engine ... this just make me want, even more fervently, that they provide us with:

An enhanced, expanded roster/association/my career files official EDITOR (to alter appareances, edit special teams like USA, hidden variables such as chemestry, player goals, home/away accesories/jerseys/kicks colors, logos, arenas, create/edit/move coaches and staff, tweak default sliders for MC, etc) with tied capspace creation capabilities to our consoles hard drives (to override limitation of amount of players/teams/shoes created as much as we have space on the drives) ... offered as a paid DLC and would understand if it was only allowed for offline work (also that couldnt be placed on 2kshare if it past some predetermined size).

I think it's probably something to do with Low Post Offense, also. It's always higher for post players than guards. I was hoping when I first saw it that it was a new Box Out rating, but I doubt it.

Standing dunk?

It definitely has to be the "Shot Low Post"- attribute from the previous NBA 2K installments. Using hex/memory editing on the PC version of the game, the address seems to be right in between the "Free Throw" and "Layup" attribute, basically just like in NBA 2k11 and NBA 2k12.

I was going to guess big man rating -- for example, in CHoops 2k8 you can have a garbage 6'11 player. Against guys his size, he sucks. Against guys smaller than him he has the ability to dominate inside.

I'm not so sure that it is Shot Low Post, as you have Low Post O, Low Post Fade and Hook as ratings already. Also when you sort from highest to lowest in doesn't correspond with the players as a post rating.

For example (Player - Hidden Rating - (Low Post O - Post Fade - Post Hook) - (Oreb - Dreb)

Brad Sellers - 98 - (43 - 25 - 62) - (88 - 81)
James Worthy - 98 - (99 - 92 - 92) - (75 - 70)
Joe Johnson - 95 - (84 - 93 - 60) - (60 - 80)
Christian Eyenga - 95 - (85 - 86 - 85) - (91 - 88)
Derek Fisher - 95 - (90 - 97 - 40) - (48 - 40)
Kirk Hinrich - 93 - (85 - 90 - 68) - (83 - 88)
Marcus Thornton - 92 - (94 - 85 - 93) - (80 - 73)
Dennis Rodman - 92 - (85 - 98 - 65) - (80 - 99)
Marreese Speights - 90 - (88 - 88 - 70) - (98 - 93)
Arron Afflalo - 89 - (77 - 76 - 76) - (83 - 75)
Jud Buechler - 86 - (44 - 35 - 55) - (50 - 73)

I'm gonna do some testing to see if I can determine what it is, my gut feeling is that its a boxout rating.

I have a 'shot low post +3' upgrade in MyTeam, even though you can't see the ability in the game.
