Why is Arenas is a 77? If he was really that good someone would have signed him by now. He's not sitting on his couch for character issues.

Is at least a JR smith I can download off of 2K share? I know they have an Allen iverson you can download

Might as well have called this the Jeremy Lin Update.

They updated Lin and just left everybody else the same and they forgot to update his dunk tendency while they were at it. Why can't they just get a couple of interns who sole purpose is to watch the games and update based off stats, lineups etc. get the accesories from pictures video. This is basically what the community does. I can understand not getting the accesesories 100% correct but some of the basic lineup, rotations and shooting ratings should obviously come from how the players perform on the court across the board.

Billups is inactive, so you can't use him in online play regardless.

They didn't see those 3's, they only saw the game winner played on ESPN 20 dozen times every hour.

i heard 2k adds 45 to a player's 3pt% to get rating. 45 plus 27 or 29 equates to 72 or 74 so in theory they low balled him a tad.

Sorry to get off topic, but where is everyone hearing from that JR is on the Knicks now? The NBA hasn't officially announced it yet.

All of these ratings are too high. You don't get a 80 pass/78 ball security when you've had the most turnovers out of any player's first 5 starting games. Not really sure where the 78 steal came from, and offensive awareness 92 puts him in steve nash/deron williams/chris paul territory.

I don't think they were going for accuracy, they were looking to appease those flooding twitter. The types looking to recreate Lin's hot streak over the course of an entire season. Not exactly for the sim heads, but you can't say 2k doesn't listen to the community, just the casuals who jumped on the Lin bandwagon were super vocal this time. Just curious to see what happens when he inevitably hits a cold streak.

What about his tendencies? Did 2K update any of those. I know the 2KInsider will alot of times not update players tendencies.

4 things

1) Russell Westbrook shouldn't be included that list

2) The rest of those guys have at least a 2:1 assist turnover ratio
3) those guys have played a larger sample of games
4) Those guys have played against teams with much better defense

That's why this how special ratings update is silly. His best competitor this run was the lakers, and for some reason they let derek fisher guard him one on one (Mike brown might as well assigned a folding chair to guard him). And now he's a 75.

Let's wait until Jeremy lin plays the Heat, Bulls, or Thunder, and see what his turnovers are then.

Nash this season has 288 assist and 97 turnovers. How does that come out to 2:1?

	only thing i see being a bit off is the mid range being 80... 76-78 seemed a little more reasonable... 80 is approaching automatic with a good look... stat is 80 right now, and i still drain every good look i get from mid-range with him, on HoF/Sim online.

Lin is shooting 60% from midrange. If anything 80 is too low. But then all the guys online will be going kobe with him if you made it higher

Yeah your point about getting ripped easily in this game makes sense. I just seen some other PG ratings that are lower then that, that I feel are better than Jeremy LIn. But again, he hasn't shown enough games to know either way.

He announced it on his Twitter account.

# 39 Nyrican127 @ 02/17/12 05:24 PM

dont know why they updated the rosters just for jeremy lin, since he's only played 1 game since the last update...
