07-08 Player Release ** Updated 5/19 ** Topic

Defense is out of whack with the new adjustments. Sorry to say because I am grateful you guys took the time to make adjustments, but I just don't get the new defense ratings for a bunch of guys.

66-67 Wilt Chamberlain = 'midrange'?
5/19/2008 3:53 PM
I think 67-68 is midrange too...I'm assuming because of the assists lol
5/19/2008 4:03 PM
just dumb - did actual human beings sanity check the results spewed out by the range equation?

Don't remember WIlt knocking down all of those 15-17 ft jumpers back in the late 60's???? How bout 94-95 Stockton as Paint?
5/19/2008 4:12 PM
that's okay Harry Gallatin is a perimeter player too as is Charles Barkley in some seasons and apparently Tim Duncan is a mid-range player and here I was thinking he was a post option

Yeah, its almost as if they've over thought the process and just have taken their formula(s) for what it is...if they're going to include subjective ratings like D ratings and O ranges, they'd better be PERCEIVABLY CORRECT...and they don't look to be.

I dont like the changes. It seems like the stuff they changed was done to make people buy more teams so it will be easy to make teams.
5/19/2008 6:22 PM
you don't like that they made the product more appealing to more people and easier to construct a team?

odd.

I said it before, I'll say it again, the D ratings are awful, LBJ better defender than Tayshaun RIDICULOUS! Just one very obvious of many others.

Thanks seble - you guys just made my week; this is going to be a whole lot of fun.
5/19/2008 6:44 PM
Seble, you guys seroiusly need to look over D Ratings Again. You can ask me for help, I'm a huge fan of defense, and very good when it comes to stats/numbers/objectivity.


CP3 right now isn't as good on defense as GP ever was.
Dwight right now isn't as good on defense as Russell ever was.
LeBron right now isn't as good on defense as MJ ever was.

Do you see what you are saying?
CP3 = GP on defense
Dwight = Russell on defense
LeBron = Jordan on defense


Anyone saying any of those things has lost their mind and knows nothing about defense

I'm dead serious.





your other updates were good.

I love the changes! Having a lot of fun looking through the new stats and possibilities.

Looks very nice . . . except for the crazy 07-08 Defensive ratings.

If you check, all the D-Ratings, not just for 08, have been highered. Taking the prestige out of having a good D Rating
