When 2K updates people's dunk and move packages throughout the season will your updates reflect those changes as well?tyrthomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458285494036091326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-52840547362342336702008-10-10T14:47:00.000-04:002008-10-10T14:47:00.000-04:00Ah.

There was a period where J-Kidd was the only great passer in the league, when Stockton retired in 2003. Then Nash broke out on the scene and there were two. Last year Paul, Deron, and Calderon all broke out and we have 5 great passing PGs in the NBA when 5 years ago we only had 1.<BR/><BR/>The NBA went for awhile without a 30 ppg scorers too. Then LeBron was drafted, and that's pretty much history. Of course, the rule changes did play a role here, I don't think Tony Parker or Monta Ellis could shoot 50% from the field 10 years ago. Calderon/Nash yes because they have Stockton-esque shot selection, Mike Miller yes because he's akin to Jeff Hornacek.<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to build some theories to test based on what people are posting though.Rashidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415749685735306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-533824470788864552008-10-10T12:34:00.000-04:002008-10-10T12:34:00.000-04:00i meant to look at 3 yr average for ...the # of gu...i meant to look at 3 yr average for ...<BR/><BR/>the # of guys with 10APG at the end of a season,<BR/><BR/>or the # of guys with 25PPG +<BR/><BR/>etc.<BR/><BR/>cuz each year it varies.Benicio10https://www.blogger.com/profile/06158208865424674276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-39707578108401041802008-10-10T12:33:00.000-04:002008-10-10T12:33:00.000-04:00the problem with 3 yr average is it would heavily ...the problem with 3 yr average is it would heavily penalize the younger players and favor some declining vets.<BR/><BR/>Basketball is great in that the stats are much easier to predict than a sport like baseball, where there are a cajillion sub stats.Rashidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415749685735306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-54683660366385562008-10-10T12:06:00.000-04:002008-10-10T12:06:00.000-04:00Rashidi,instead of comparing stats to last year on...Rashidi,<BR/><BR/>instead of comparing stats to last year only, maybe do a 3 year average.<BR/><BR/>for example, how many guys scored 25ppg+ per season on average last 3 years (when rule changes were pretty established).<BR/><BR/>this is Benicio10 by the way, if you haven't figured it out.Benicio10https://www.blogger.com/profile/06158208865424674276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-22408969290808754142008-10-10T06:51:00.000-04:002008-10-10T06:51:00.000-04:00good stuff! keep it upgood stuff! keep it upAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985717697061505278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-86736688283438493972008-10-10T05:26:00.000-04:002008-10-10T05:26:00.000-04:00O man u r good at this :)O man u r good at this :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-13173417065644594752008-10-10T01:40:00.000-04:002008-10-10T01:40:00.000-04:00Pretty interesting breakdown you have there. It mi...Pretty interesting breakdown you have there. It might be a good idea to run a few simulations of the "living rosters" in comparison with your own. The 3pt% is definitely ridiculous, but not really surprising for a basketball video game. I also have to question the tendencies that players have to shoot 3s, because I have a feeling there may be too many attempted. <BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, some bigs might not have a high enough shooting percentage, but I don't think across the board it will be a huge issue. I do wonder if the ones you posted are the leaders, because if so I'd have to ask where Shaq is at, he definitely should not be shooting lower than 50%. Howard shot .599 last year (career .567) and Amare shot .590 (career .540). <BR/><BR/>I think that once you get the 3pt% sorted out, some of perimeter player percentages will go down too. Some players though are fine like Wade who has shot pretty close to 50% many times in his career (career .481, his % went down to .469 last year with his injuries) and Lebron. These are usually more of the players who drive to the basket more often than settling for jumpshots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
