2K Sports releases roster - Rajon Rondo now better than Dwight Howard

I say this every single year, but 2K Sports and the 2K Insider just continue to baffle me.

Rajon Rondo
89 Overall (+2)
95 Inside (+2)
84 Close (+4)
52 3pt (-7)
94 Layup (+5)
95 Handle (+5)
93 OffHand (+5)
95 Pass (+3)
97 Steal (+2)
96 Hands (+8)
94 DefAwr (+3)
45 OffClutch (+20)
60 DefClutch (+35)
95 Consistency (+5)
96 Durability (+6)

Yuck. Some of these are justified, like the Layup boost, but most are not, and the most puzzling has to be the Consistency boost... Rondo is hardly the most consistent Celtic (let alone the entire league). What do you guys think?

In some positive news, Javale McGee was boosted to 66 overall. Kevin Durant was also boosted to 92 overall. A few other players like Xavier Henry, Greivis Vazquez, Timofey Mozgov, and Nikola Pekovic were also added. I haven't caught any other changes yet, but if you find any let me know!

Kevin Durant
92 Overall (+1)
90 Inside (-5)
92 Close (-3)
90 FT (+3)
84 Security (+2)
79 Steal (-1)
75 BallDefense (+2)
79 DefReb (+4)
82 OffPost (+3)
60 DefPost (+4)
82 DefAwr (+2)
99 Consistency (+9)
99 Stamina (+2)
40 Strength (+5)
90 Durability (+10)

JaVale McGee
+7 Overall (66)
+4 Inside (78)
-17 Medium (58)
+8 LowPost (60)
+11 FT (64)
+20 Layup (45)
+17 Dunk (86)
-11 OffReb (83)
+1 DefReb (70)
+5 OffPost (62)
+24 DefPost (70)
+15 DefAwr (64)
+20 Consistency (45)
+20 Stamina (82)
+19 Strength (58)
+12 Vertical (93)
+2 Potential (79)

is this the default roster or a 2K update? also, if you remember, 2K10's default consistency scale was 25-60-99. i don't have the game yet, but have you noticed a scale or is it multiples of 5?

Flip, Westbrooke better get a huge boost too. How the F is he so distant from Rose, thats ridiculous in itself

It's the 2K update.

Consistency ratings were updated midseason in 2K10, and yes they're pretty much multiples of five although the majority of players have 60. 99 Consistency makes little sense since 60 isn't the mid-point of 25 and 99 - it's the mid-point of 25-95.

Also, the PG rating scales were changed, probably for the better. WB dropped 3 points in rating even though none of his ratings went down (if anything his on-ball defense went up along with every other player in the game).

I kept some of 2K's Rondo changes (5 point boost to Handles) and I have him at 84 overall. Last year without the handles I had him at 85, so the scales are definitely different. That means Rondo under 2K10's scale would have him in the low 90s.

Hahaha, dude you're pathetic. I was reading through your previous posts and you really seem to hate this game. Whether it be because they didnt hire you or some other reason i dont know.
Anyway.... Haters gon' hate, Players gon' play.

Durant is waaay overrated now.

Simulated a season and he averaged 30 points 10 rebs 2 steals and 1.5 blocks.
