Next Roster Wishlist

[wiliands]

Nuggets

Melo FG (80-85) and FSS --> Highflyer
Andre Miller FG (65-75) and FSS --> Playmaker

Phoenix
Leandro Barbosa FSS --> Shooter

[Andrew]

Miller could perhaps be a Playmaker but I'm not all that sure about making Melo a HighFlyer or Barbosa a Shooter. I might have to pass on those.

i'll try to make a smush parker portrait,so you could add it in the next roster update.

[Andrew]

Cable Guy's already offered me a Smush portrait, so what I really need is a Smush cyberface to go with it.

andrew if u can consider Tony Parker fg%, I think he needs a little adjustment.. considering he is the team leading scorer and in the top ten in fieldgoal% (54.6 % to be exact source nba .com) and currently third in that category... I think his stats convincing enough to give a little consideration, he is consistent with his game, thats why he made it in the all star this season...only my suggestion, hope you can look at it... though im a spurs fan obviously, but i like also a pretty fair playing field....

[Andrew]

There's no need to post that twice; you already posted it in the sticky and I've already answered you.

I think Joel Przybilla of the Blazers should be an Inside Stopper. He's averaging 2.32 bpg in under 25 mpg. Right now, the only thing keeping him from being a stopper is 4 more points in Defensive Awareness.

[Andrew]

Seems fair enough to me.

[Christopherson]

As far as some people using FG% to back up their claim for increased ratings, thats not quite fair. While Kobe only shoots 46% the difficulty of the shots he takes is extremely high. Some players thrive on shooting open jumpers thanks to opponents double teaming. If Andrew raises their FG rating, they will turn into someone who is able to hit more difficult shots, which wouldnt be right. Take tony parker for instance. Yeah he is shooting 55%, but he also shoots mostly shots in the paint. At one point in the season, he was leading the NBA in that statistic. parker isnt however a phenominal jump shooter, so boosting his ratings wouldnt be the right thing to do. Stats seem like they should always be totally objective, but that isnt necessarily the case.

[Christopherson]

Andrew, my suggestion is to take a look at the stamina rating on a few players, shaq in particular. In my dynasties he consitantly averages like 40-42 minutes a game! This makes him put up monster stats and win MVP's like crazy. i know there are some other examples, but this is just one I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, and in my opinion, I think Illgouscus (sp?) is way to good in LIVE. He blocks and rebounds like a monster when I play against him. Sorry, I dont have any good stats to back my argument up, but I think that statistcal arguments are often misleading anyways, when you really look at the data.

[fReeMaN]

Andrew, I think you forgot to up Singleton's dunking rating. It's still 55. His jump is also low at 65. He is a very good dunker with great jump.

I didn't "forget". I don't recall that suggestion but if it was made, I probably didn't agree with it and thus didn't make it.

[fReeMaN]

I suggested this a little while ago and I remember you agreed with me...that's why I thought you forgot but maybe you changed your mind later... anyway, I am suggesting it again then

[Andrew]

At this point, I won't be making that change. Sorry, but that's my decision.

[No Name]

i would just ask if theres a chance to have charlie v's block rating and rebounding to upgrade?

[Andrew]

I'll check them out but can't guarantee I'll make any changes.
