because 2k has no idea who eric maynor is and has no idea he has dimer. he is not a star.

melo doesn't need an upgrade..he needs a downgrade

Melo does not need a upgrade or a downgrade. 2k has him rated perfectly. Just throw some hustle points on him and he is perfect.

theres no excuse for him not having hustle over 90 with the sig, guy is the fastest 2nd leaper on his own shot for the rebound i've ever seen.

his ratings do need a decrease just a slight bit

# 44 Blackhail92 @ 04/12/13 08:24 PM

he was a 92 and was downgraded for no reason. and proved this whole year he is definitely a 92 OVR. but what specifically do yall feel is overated about him?

give me his ratings from 2k for each shot zone, and his rebounds and ill pick it out.

i have melo as 82 PF, 88 SF in my roster, and he avgd almost exactly his real #'s but just a little better in association simming

exactly. After watching him this year. I can say that he is actually not that bad defensively. He is better than MANY players in the league on that end. His offense just surpasses it by a LOTTTTT. There are only mayb three or four players whose offense is almost as good as their defense and that is probably chris paul, Lebron, and probably wade. plus he is an EASY player to criticize. KD's defense isnt close to his offense either but he doesnt take nearly as much a bad rep. Maybe for effort i guess. KD is better perimeter defender. Melo is actually a better post defender. Both arent very good at defense. so why is KD a 95? because he is more efficient? and averages more assists and rebounds. But is he 5 points better overall than melo? and if melo does deserve to be an "80 something" that would make the gap even bigger. People who dont want him raised its understandable considering he is cheese online. but a decrease after the run he had and is having is pretty weird request.

As said before gordan hayward doesnt get nearly as much respect as he deserves. should be AT LEAST mid 70s. Jrue holiday avg 8 assists and got dimer but Vasquez who has avg 9 the WHOLE year has nothing. They should just do one update where they work on the ratings of players 80 and below.

they won't do that, they don't even know who half those guys are probably.

as far as the gap for melo and durant goes, it comes down to rebounding and D awareness on my roster, and since i have melo at PF where hes been playing all year his lower rebounding ratings really hurt his overall. cant explain why 2k's is so different really.

# 57 thedream2k13 @ 04/13/13 09:47 AM

next update , kobe better be on IR online. Do it 2k do it

I get that but they raised vucevic,earl clarke, David west, Tristan thompson and tobais harris at one point. They sometimes raise players under 80 overall just no consistently. They just dont seem to downgrade those players. Like aaron brooks is a 78 for what again? or jamison a 77? with his atrocious defense he shouldnt even be in the mid 70s.

And as for melo, i wasnt specifically going at your roster. i was saying how i have been asking for melo to be back to his 92 rating since november. Back then everyones excuse was he would fall off. Which he did slightly because of injury. Now he is averging 40 points and over 10 boards in april and i ask for an upgrade and people say he doesnt play defense(the usual ESPN knock on melo) Thats the reason i brought up KD. Funniest thing is only thing i wanted raised were his low post defense, hustle, consistency, and maybe rebounding, offensive awareness. his ins/med are pretty much fine so i dont know how these changes would make anyone upset. 2k maybe should lower this three a little seeing how he isnt shooting 40 percent from down there anymore. but everyone is entitled to their opinion

vucevic killed the heat multiple times. clark is on the lakers, david west is on the pacers and thompson plays with kyrie. dont know why they picked tobias though.

as for melo durant defense comparison, synergy sports has durant ranked 92 on points per play where melo ranks at 249

melo's rebounding should both be in the lower 50's which kills his overall, but theres no excuse for his hustle to not be a 99

i understand those stats. but stats dont tell all. one stat doesn't FULLY define a players defense. Like how Allen Iverson had a lot of steals but wasnt that great of a defender. His defensive reb isnt that good but his offensive reb in real life is crazy. Deng has better rebounding in the game than melo and Lebron. he averages 6.5. While melo averages 6.9 and lebron averages 8.0.
And his hustle cant be 99 because to most casual watchers and espn melo is still "lazy." and hustle effects how often you dive for loose balls and such and melo isnt the one to do that. I feel his hustle should just be higher than 60.

They also raised jimmy butler too. I get what your saying though. After the beginning of the year they stopped updating lower rated players. It just makes no sense how someone like bledsoe can jump to an 81. while other players under a 80 rating on a bad team dont get touched or jump up like two points
