A lot of people have been complaining about the shot ratings this year, especially the Close ratings. The best way to descibe close is it's the 4-14 foot range. Inside is the direct vicinity of the basket, mid-range is from the FT line out. Close is that weird inbewteen stage where you'd prefer to get closer to the basket if at all possible, and the region is staunchly guarded which makes it difficult to score there.
Since most players (especially guards) would prefer not to shoot from this range, it is common for players to have few shot attempts from this range. What that creates is a small sample size, and thus the opportunity for stats to be mishandled.
Eddie House has the following shot ratings
Inside 81
Close 50
Medium 86
3pt 87
House has 80s in all his shot ratings but the minimum 50 in his close rating. 2K Sports didn't take player history into account, which is pretty darn important when using a small sample (as it increases the pool of data to get a better idea. Most of you know this by now but I'm just laying out the details for any newcomers.)
Eddie House Close
2009: 9-30 (.300)
2008: 14-34 (.411)
2007: 12-41 (.292)
2006: 13-38 (.342)
2005: 23-43 (.534)
Total: 61-186 (.327)
What we have here is a player with a fluctuating percentage. He's as low as 29% one year and as high as 53% in another. House gets slapped with a 50, which is more due to his low sample size (as it seems 2K gave a 50 to any player with a small sample and a low percentage). Just going by this data we know House does not deserve to have the bare minimum rating of 50. I'm still collecting data for players, but it should be obvious House's numbers are better than say...
J. Jeffries
2009: 1-15 (.066)
2008: 2-12 (.166)
2007: 6-20 (.300)
2006: 7-29 (.241)
2005: 10-35 (.285)
Total: 26-111 (.234)
There's a player much more deserving of a 50.
Let's say House deserves a 55 for arguments sake. That still looks very odd next to an 81 Inside and 86 Medium. So to inspect further, let's take a look at those Inside numbers...
E. House
2009: 17-30 (.567)
2008: 12-35 (.343)
2007: 18-35 (.514)
2006: 30-67 (.448)
2005: 17-42 (.405)
Total: 94-209 (.449)
2K gave House an 81 rating because he went 17-30 over a full season. That's actually pretty pathetic when you think about it. How could they not know what a bad finisher he is? He shot 34% in a similar sample just a year prior, and has only been above 50% two times in five years. That 81 is just two points below...
J. Jeffries
2009: 92-175 (.526)
2008: 83-169 (.491)
2007: 70-126 (.556)
2006: 142-261 (.544)
2005: 171-318 (.537)
Total: 558-1049 (.531)
It should be fairly obvious which of these players is the significantly better finisher. Jeffries had a better year last year than House's last 5 seasons combined. What we see here is House's inside rating doesn't match up with his dreadful close rating.
61 inside
55 close
86 medium
87 3pt
Doesn't that look so much better? His strengths are clearly illustrated now, and we didn't even have to put any thought into it (2K hates doing that). All it took was merely analyzing readily available data.
But then, I guess a company that didn't update any FT ratings between this year and last has no use for somethng like that.

THANK YOU 2K! and OMG WHY 2K?
Finally, something legitmately cool.
I downloaded their roster and they added a feature I've been dying for, for years.
INJURIES!
Go to the Bobcats and check out Raja Bell
Raja Bell (highlighted in Yellow)
64 overall (-7)
Click his player card: Sprained wrist 4-6 months
One problem though: It seems like we can't use this feature for ourselves. Which actually sucks quite a bit, because we're
A. Now at the mercy of an entity that has proven itself incompetent on more than one occasion
B. Unable to add this to our own rosters
C. Unable to remove this if I want to say, GET THE YAO MING ACHIEVEMENT YOU IDIOTS.
D. The injuries apply to the Draft Class or all-star teams and any other teams the players appear on. So you can't even get the Yao achievement picking the all-star team or anything because he is a 53 overall now. Heck, you can't even put him in the game because he's highlighted in Red.
E. You cannot release or trade a player on the disabled list. That includes in our managed rosters. High five for putting association resrictions on NOT ASSOCIATION MODE! Some of us actually like to play without injured players!
2K Sports: 2 steps back for every step forward.

FILE DETAILS
Opening night rosters and rotations for all 30 teams. Player edits for over 100 players. Added the Nuggets to the list of completed teams (spent most of this update editing players across the league rather than focusing on a few teams). Lowered the ratings of many free agents.
One correction! Timberwolves starting rotation should be Flynn-Brewer-Wilkins-Gomes-Jefferson. I have Flynn-Brewer-Gomes-Jefferson-Hollins. News of this came right after I submitted the update.

Wait a sec, tonight's opening night?
LOL I had no idea... I thought it was tomorrow because that's when my brother told me the Knicks season opener is. I'm pissed I missed Celtics vs Cavs.
Looks like my roster is gonna come a day earlier than I thought. Look for it tonight.
EDIT: File is ready to go, but typically, the 2K servers are down. On opening night. Somebody REALLY needs to write all this stuff down and keep a record of it somewhere.
