Kanter and Jimmer are 63, too. It's not that only our guys are underrated, it's the same flawed rating system for years.

Lowry, Martin, Williams, Pat, Thabeet = my starting 5. I usually put up about 30-40 pts with TWill and dunk over everyone. Thabeet is awful at shooting, but if you keep him in the post, he'll dunk over everyone (80+ verticle dunk rating) I've been on a roll lately with them. It took me forever to get used to their release points when shooting.
I am rated at 65 in My Player mode and my dude averages 23 ppg (says 13th in NBA) and straight beasts throughout most of the game. I have received conference player of the month like 5 straight months. Doesnt make sense to me....but then again, alot of stuff in this game doesnt make sense. Like the random Chuck Hayes or Scola one handed put back slams that make you scream WOAH!
Yes, all players and teams update in real time, so if players play well or get better at a certain thing during the season his ability gets better in the game to mimic real life.
I happen to be a 2k holic (having bought every game at midnight since 2k6) and These are the things you can do to make our team more realistic... First... Add black undershorts to every player on our team... They all wear them.. Then add black undershirts to every player but: Scola, Lee and Budinger(used to switch between black and white depending on home/away or player, but fun fact, no player wears white under armor since we got the new fabric last year) K-Mart- Give him his black undershirt and shorts and he's exact.. Scola- Give him his undershorts and lower his dunk rating to a 52 and his standing dunk to a 30(this makes him a below the rim player like he is and makes him lay it in instead of posterizing people) Lowry- Give Lowry a red wrist band on his right wrist(he did this last year sometimes but he's inconsistant) add under armors and lower his dunk rating from 40 to 30 to keep him from randomly dunking in game(I met Kyle and asked him and he said "I dont dunk in game" so he should never be dunking.. T-Will- He switched it up with no arm sleeves last year but he's been wearing a long sleeve under armor in practice so im adding black adidas shooting sleeves to both arms and making his calf sleeves black with white and red powerbands on either wrist along with giving him the first signature dunk available( If youve watchd his highlights youve seen its his favorite dunk on the fast break, you can also add the one footed windmill he does sometimes too) Patterson- undershirts along with red powerbands on both wrist and fingers sleeves on his right hand.. Also change his dunk to T. Duncan's (the extra lift he has to do the same looking dunks make them super accurate to the 2 handed power dunks he usually does in game) J. Flynn- Undershirts, add wrist bands to both wrist(didnt watch him play last year) C. Lee- get rid of head band add shorts only(already has calf sleeves) C. Bundinger- Add shorts M. Morris- OK, first change him to a sf/pf(not the other way around) then up his quickness to 75(same as the unexplosive paul pierce), his strength to 77(a guesstimate between Buds 71 & Patterson's 82), up his verticle to 78(measurements+ height its almost the exact same as Patterson's), Give him a 75 on speed (He ran his court speed the same as melo and his rating is 82 so this is being less generous..) Give his mid-range what youd like but i made it a 77(you may want around 70-77) and gave him a 72 3pt rating(same as his brother.. He'll have a higher mid range rating then others but his 3 rating is lower so its harder for him to hit.. Then give him the undershirts along with the black knee hex pads and give him black ankle tape to look like the black socks he's been wearing with his knee pads in practice.. Then give him a black wrist band on his right wrist to represent his "I Heart Boobies" wristband he wears and all he's missing are his tatoos.. J-Hill- Undershirts along with red and white powerbalance on either wrist(he was inconsistant last year, I also like to give him the knee pads he wore(not calf cuz they conflict with his long socks).. Also give him KG's dunk package and he'll do more one handed power dunks like he did last year.. Dragic- undershirts Thabeet- undershirts..Give him the TP dunk package so he'll throw down when he's open and up his vert to 55ish so he can actually win tip balls.. Sorry for the long post, but i do all these changes after every roster patch every year depending on what the player is wearing.. T-mac used to switch up his shorts and shirt color(wear white shirt w/ black shorts) and AB almost never wore and undershirt.... Hope someone actually finds this helpful..
I'm good with the Rockets and I gotta say they made Marcus Morris garbage in the game after a couple of test runs. His goto move, the turnaround fade-away, is way too inconsistent especially online. His mid range shots you can't even rely on. I hate it every year when they screw up and take the player comparisons from NBAdraft.net with the iffy ratings too and transfer it over. I had a feeling they would do that for Marcus this year and I was right. Al Harrington was Marcus Morris' NBA comparison on nbadraft.net so they basically took Harrington's athletic attributes, ball handling, defense, rebounding, etc and input it for Marcus... That's 2k for you.
It's only temporary... Once he starts putting up numbers and having good games 2k will have to bump up his ratings(If not you can tweak them yourself).. At least he has a good player model(still needs tats, they'll ad them next year like they did this year for J-Hill), Landry's was just awful with the afrow he had from his rookie season that starts on the center of his head... It's still hasn't been updated since 07 go look at it..
Not really, it all depends on the lazy 2kinsider who is a complete bum that touches like max. 10 players per week and doesn't get anything right.
