Legends that MyTeam ratings should not screw up this year.....

[phriscaul]

Listen, I know that Stauff has a tough job. It's very involved. But his reference point for which he rates legends are awful. Every year....every year, he gets a few guys wrong.

Elgin Baylor - Widely regarded as the best all-around player to have ever played in the NBA until LBJ.

Wilt - considering how ridiculously gaudy his play was and how imposing he was. his only weakness was really his FT shooting...and that wasnt until later in his career.

Karl Malone - always manages to screw up his mobility. i mean always. 2k16 they had the younger version of Karl and his ability to run/move around the floor was crazy for the year they referenced.

Mahmoud Abul-Rauf - one of the most potent scoring PGs in the history of the game, consistently putting up huge scoring outputs and displaying a wide array of ways to score(Jordan had to guard him whenever they played the Nuggets). Also severely underrates his athleticism.

Hakeem Olajuwon - his lateral quickness, ball handling, and midrange is screwed EVERY year. And they never get his jumper right either.

Clyde Drexler - Regarded as one of the best SGs of all time(most lists have him top 5) and 2k16, we see guys like Iverson/Vince/Pistol get Diamond(or equivalent) rated cards and Clyde is stuck around high 80s. incredible oversight.


which guys do they usually screw up but you hope they get right?

Didn't seem like Larry Bird got the exact card he should have gotten.

Base Knicks Clyde Frazier & Earl the Pearl.

Nobody should have an unusable release. Fix Sprewell for sure. Get Mashburn right. Treat Earl Monroe like an NBA great. Kemp, Drexler, and Nique regular historics need to be elite like they've been in past. Also use different player models for younger and older versions--young Shaq was thinner and faster, Ray Allen had hair etc. Finally make sure everyone has proper badges before they're released.

Artis Gilmore... Every year they underrate his dunking and blocking. Last year his 72' MVP card had a 65 block even though he averaged 5 blocks that year...

3 words....

Scottie....Freakin....Pippen

the lack of respect is disgusting.

also, no excuse for messing up reward cards like Fat Lever and Ray Allen. Ray Allen's Bucks career wasnt even that long ago to not be remembering how good he was athletically. smh.

Yea they messed that one up big time. It was a boston/heat ray allen slapped with a bucks ray allen picture.

I'm thinking the MT devs made the ratings and that's probally what messed with the whole legend scale rating. Hopefully the new guy who took over can bring this mode up to its potential.

To me most of the Historic players of 2k16 (unlike 15) felt "generic" and lacked explosiveness

It was WAY much easier to use an enhanced version of a current player rather than a historic.

I hope this changes in 2k17
