I just can't believe that each day maybe 5+ players see ratings updates, but maybe twice, or 3 times, we've seen a tendency upgrade. Theres gotta be more work done in that area, theres really nothing more that needs to be said about that, we need tendency updates on a consistent basis to go with the daily sock and attribute boosts

While I agree with everything you are saying I have resigned myself to believing the lack of tendency updates decision is coming from somewhere above Beds.

Beds made his name here creating rosters focused on creating realistic gameplay. He knows what the tendencies do and how to adjust them appropriately.

I don't know why these decisions are made but to this point it does not seem like tendency updates are on his radar.

For those of us that love your work Beds, but couldn' t care less about Festus Ezeli's knee pads we would love to hear from you on the subject.

Well when I play against him, I can back off of him by more than 3 feet every time because you know why? His 3pt tendency hasn't been updated so he doesn't get aggressive when the defense doesn't respect his shot. Jimmy butler, his take shot tendency has gone up, but his touch tendency hasn't, so guess what happens when you play the Bulls? He doesn't take enough shots. Maybe for those who play purely online it doesn't matter, or for those who play my career and just want to average 30/20/10 on pro mode it doesn't matter, but for those who play against the cpu and want an actual sin experience, it does. I mean no offense by this, but it's sort of like being told , here's a car that can go 200mph but there's no gas in the tank. Please focus a little more on making players play like themselves, it's very important. I know making sure guys sock lengths and elbow band colors are important to some, and that up****** ratings is nice and all, but the meat and bones are the tendencies.

Agreed! Myself and others have already have complained enough about post player tendencies. Your best option will be to go ahead and just do the tendency adjustments as you see fit.

The problem is 2k only focus on the high rated teams, or teams that played their games on National Television that week when it comes to ratings. Solomon Hill has hit double digits in every game in November thus far, 15.8 points per game through 5 games with a career high of 28 in the stretch. So far this season he is shooting 46.7 % from the field 37.5 % from 3 yet he has a 66 overall rating and 73 overall 3 point. He was a first round draft pick a year ago not like he some random. He also has had his fair share of dunks that made nba play of the day, there are 3 different tiers. Some players on 2k have posterizer for no reason. Solomon is just one there are plenty of other players that deserve a boost. I just want to know the logic behind updates. People want dynamic updates for all players, I know they have to have people on the team that has access to NBA league pass and advanced statistics. If 5 games not enough to justify a rating boost, then players shouldn't get clutch badges after one shot, or 99 ball handling after one crossover aka Stephen Curry nba 2k14 last year. They have time to update shoes and accessories so why not more rating updates with along with them.

It's awesome 2K is putting this kind of attention to detail into the rosters this year...but there is too much knee-jerk reaction to some of this. Shoot...earlier in the year they gave Kirk Heinrich the "Primetime" badge because of 1 or 2 clutch performances in early regular season games. Again....just look at these daily threads. The pluses outweigh the minuses by probably 5 to 1. Eventually you will hit a tipping point where the ratings will be unbalanced.

Been trying to say this for a while.

# 25 Aderito @ 11/12/14 05:36 PM

Tyson Chandler, Brandan Wright and Omer Asik deserve some updates....

Tyson Chandler last 3 games (per game stats):

15.0 PTS, 66.6 FG% , 1.6 AST, 13 TRB, 86.6 FT%, 21.9 Per (this season)

The season just started.

Eh? Curry has had some of the best handles in the league for awhile now. Not sure if it justifies a 99 but it should be high. He's rates high because of one crossover? Not really.

Absolutely agree on the potential problem focusing on some team and not others-- or even the possibility of upgrading a less well known player and then possibly not revisiting him until much later.

I hope and assume Beds has access to tools that point out guys who are recently performing quite differently from their ratings on a moving average so he can address things as they happen during the season across the board, but the boosts to named players (Kobe) and the lack of drops from poor actual shooting efficiency (Kobe, Harden) is a little worrying.

It's pretty nuts that Kobe actually got a BUMP for what's been high volume chucking when he was already rated extremely high-- top-5 player high-- out of the gates.

That's... not right.

Dude in charge of rosters is a joke. His works are being overrated by some OSers.

It is sad how the majority of us have lost sight as to what has been done with this game. For the first time in sports video game history there is someone dedicated enough to update the most important part of the game on a nearly daily bases.

There are a total of 445 players on the roster and many more with free agents and historical. Think about how ridiculous that is to manage on a daily bases. Yet here we are complaining about how Kobe needs to be lowered a few points or why isn't (insert any player's name) not shooting more (insert desired shot type).

I for one am astounded at the detail and dedication we are seeing that hasn't been seen before in any sports game. This by far has been the most accurate rosters out of any sports game. I think we all need to step back and appreciate what is going on here and let the updates come with time. After all we are only a few weeks into the season and this is the first time this type of detailed work has even been attempted and it has been done very well in my eyes.

Tell 'em, Dangerzone_5, preach!

Beds/Mike, thanks for your UNPRECEDENTED contributions, man...

Very well said but at the same time if you're quick to bump players ratings when they have a hot game or two you have to be just as quick to lower their ratings when they come down to earth or you will end up having inflated ratings.

I think beds will have to reset rosters at some point... It's almost impossible to bump and lower everybody's ratings on a daily basis.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. He's getting paid for a reason... Remember this is his job, he's not some random roster Maker.

Some people will never be satisfied. If you guys don't like the roster, create your own as usual. You don't like the ratings, rerate them yourselves and stop bashing someone for doing their jobs. Good work beds. Keep it up. Some people appreciate it.

Actually the concern is Kobe getting raised when he should be lowered. It's a move in the opposite direction-- and precisely because of the volume of work there is in up****** so many players, I think it's fair to be concerned about such moves because they might not be addressed and lost amidst the sea of changes there needs to be throughout the season. The large shifts on small sample sets (mostly upwards) could make for a very chaotic situation down the line.

I definitely appreciate the work and effort-- it's amazing and nothing like we've ever had before-- just concerned about the maintainability and stability of this process in getting players to properly relate to each other. But like I've said before, if some of these updates are guys Beds had his eye on and just needed confirmation early in season, that's fine. I would like to see a bit of the automated streaks/moving averages we saw last year because it will address players more evenly (though it wasn't strong enough).
