Player Rating Suggestions

[Andrew]

No problem. The release has been pushed back a little as we're still getting the art together but the rosters are basically ready to go so with a few more art updates in place, we can compile and release.

The league i'm in is updating it's ratings for the last time for the 08/09 regular season in a week from now, and we update the ratings based off your roster. To have a fresh live06 roster ready would be completely awesome! Do you think this is feasible or not?

[Andrew]

I'm guessing you haven't seen the NBA Live PC section? v1.0 of the project has just been released, including a new roster.

Oh, my mistake. (I swear i looked and it wasn't there yet. Well don't i feel daft hehe).

Anyway, great news! I'm looking forward to using the sucker. Great work!

No worries, I do need to clean out the stickied threads in that section, they're building up and some of them don't need to be stickied anymore so that probably doesn't help.

I got some too (NBA Live 07):

1. Russell Westbrook can't dunk. He is a 70 at it, but when he tries to dunk, he fails and then tries to lob it up, kinda like a lay-up. This guy in real life is a highflyer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF7UifZmKJ8

2. Mo Williams is only a 74 at 3-PT. This year he has made 174 3-pointers at 43.4% so far and is third among leaders in 3PM (only behind Ray Allen & Rashard Lewis).

Change Westbrook's dunk package to 4. That correction will be made in the next version.

You probably know a lot more than me, but Andrew Bynum always seemed a bit underestimated to me. His overall is only 75, but I think he's much better than that.

It should be higher in v2.8 as I recall updating some of his ratings. Overall ratings are grossly overrated anyway, the individual ratings a far more important. Note also that the lowered fatigue ratings in the roster patch (done to combat the fatigue/sub problems in NBA Live 07) also contribute to lower overalls across the board.

What about Mo?

I'll take another look at him before the next release.
