*Might sound stupid, but can you give me an example of one player and how your ratings differ from what 2k puts out?

I will give a historic example.

Remember when Jamal Crawford played for the Knicks and he would, every blue moon, do the off the backboard dunk.

Well, ever since the FIRST one he did, 2K overrated his dunk rating.

The dunk rating (back then) determined how flashy and how frequently a player dunked. Jamal didn't dunk often AT ALL. He did a fancy dunk and 2K boosted his dunk rating for YEARS.

So this is basically how I got into roster making. I used to complain about the FAKENESS in dunks in the 2K series. This probably dates back to 2K3. I used to "cry" so much on OperationSports man. They listened, and the dunks have been toned down considerably.

But, the Jamal example was one.

Ahhh...gotcha. Makes perfect sense.

In your opinion, which player benefits from the most egregious of ratings in this year's 2k game? Whether it's for dunks, shooting, dribbling, defense, etc.?

I can see a defensive rating being through the roof just because of gaudy steal numbers (word to Larry Hughes), even though they may be sub-par defenders in reality.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

If a player is rated in the 90s, there is no way he reached that level if he isn't a good defensive player.

Steph Curry is rated a 93.

His defensive ratings are highly inflated

80 Defensive Consistency
77 On Ball D

Those are just two of them. All of his individual defensive stats are overrated. (Not Steals).

But in their defense, the casuals have to see him as the #1 rated player in the game. If he wasn't, people would bash 2K. So they have to make sure he is the highest rated, by any means necessary.

this company is hilarious man. What they want us to do is delete the game and install it over again LOLOLOLOLOL

telling us not to delete the reserved space but yet thats the only way the damn game will work. Sometime and i mean sometimes you can restart the game and have it load up BUT most of the time you need to delete the reserved space. FACTS

 

[jjs07]

Good stuff, DC. Once you get everything situated with the free agents, etc., I'm thinking of stopping my current season, and starting a new one w/ your rosters.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Test run them now before hand

lol @ blocking fouls


when was the last time a dude in the nba got called for a blocking foul and agreed?

yall cry about the funniest stuff

i have no issues.

i hit green 3pts with a 60 ovr shot.

i get 12-15 assists with no turnovers with 66 playmaking.

i dunk, in traffic (not regularly) with a 61 dunk in traffic with a 6'5" PF.....

last time imma say it in this thread: slow down.

yeah, you can throw the ball out of bounds passing 5 feet to a guy on the wing.....if you're sprinting 10 possessions in a row.

slow down. walk the ball up.

don't NBA players in real life walk the ball up court?

everyone is always quick to say what's not realistic in the game

what isn't realistic in your play style?

they don't call blocking fouls in the NBA? if they called a realistic amount of calls in 2k dudes would have mental breakdowns LOL

of course there will always be glitches and problems with video games.....i have always chalked that up, in sports games, to random things that happen in sports; i.e. lucky bounce, home court advantage, etc.

in football games its the same way.

i think people are just used to easy games and can't accept challenges. too used to "accessible" games

everyone is supposed to shoot 100% and never have any turnovers and that's the only way the game isn't broken.

LOL

sharp shooters busting half court threes IS OD tho lol, but you can always d up.

that's literally my only complaint with the gameplay, and it definitely isn't 'game breaking"

now if you're gripe is with servers....i got nothing for you. the servers are buns.

you have to meet up in mypark to go to pro am, because it doesnt take everyone from your court....which just overloads mypark servers LOL



in other news

i'm working on the HoF badges for my lockdown defender and defensive stopper is the WORST.

easily the hardest badge to get in the game.

so lockdown guards get pick dodger (LOL) and pick pocket (eek) HoF

but forwards and centers get rim protector and chase down artist.

i'd, of course, love to swap out chase down for pick pocket...but i like how each have a BS badge and a OP badge as trade off.

if i had HoF pick pocket i'd strip everyone every possession lol

the other day i was running pro am with a

paint protector 7'1"

me, lockdown PF 6'5"

lockdown SF 6'7"

slasher 6'8"

and

lockdown PG 6'4"

it was definitely LULZ

i'd love to run a real team with all lockdown defenders..

have cats under PRESSURE

Not sure how that negates what I said.

HE is a 2K Newbie.

HE is enjoying the game. He loves the game.

Most posts in this thread are bashing the game/series.

To prevent him from changing his "natural" mindset, I told him to stay away.

[soundview]

BRUH. IF DENVER HIT MY LINE ONE MORE TIME TRYING TO HOOP OR TELL ME HE'S BETTER THAN ME IN HOOPING SO HE CAN TRICK ME INTO HANGING OUT WITH HIM. BRUH. LEAVE ME ALONE MY MAN, DON'T YOU GOT FRIENDS OR SOMETHING? I DIDN'T PLAY WITH YOU LAST WEEK. I DIDN'T PLAY WITH YOU YESTERDAY. I'M NOT GONNA PLAY WITH YOU!!!!!!!

My own mom doesn't text my phone this much. Don't I have a girlfriend in this game or something? I ain't hear from her in 27 day's and 2 final series.

Then there's an option to ask your agent to get Denver on your team when you sign to a new one. WHY AM I HAVING THIS DUDE FOLLOW ME AROUND, GO MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY. I don't even remember this dude playing in the first season, all I remember is he was always getting cut for being wack lmfao

 

[art vandelay]

I've started to use Utah, problem is when I practice shooting with Gordon or Rodney I can't miss, but during the game they miss too much. Open, uncontested, whatever.... is there a jump shot fix, especially for Rodney. I'm talking about off-line/season/play now. He misses, and bad, and I've practiced my #%^ off, any help.

In real life NBA players do t miss in practice either.

Can you post video proof of how often thosr open shots are missed.

I mean there is a chance you are doing something differently as well to make them miss

How i probably suck when youre my fan? Keep crying about blocking fouls lmao ill keep playing on ranked pro am teams, winning by 30 and loving the game.

Only people frustrated by the game are frustrated because they are unsuccessful. The players enjoying success arent frustrated.

Take more of your frustrations out me, its okay, because i enjoy success in the game.

you stay frustrated that you lose more than win. Ill keep having fun outshooting sharpshooters with a lockdown defender.
