NBA 2K11 Touch Tendency List

I took the time to jot down the controversial "Touches" tendency for all NBA teams in 2K11. Putting them in list format, I have a much clearer vision of what exactly is wrong with them.

Houston, we have a problem. There are 69 players with Touch 60-99 vs 250 players with Touch 20-49. There is simply too much separation from a few select players and everyone else, which is leading to the shot imbalances.

This is not to say just lowering the higher ups is a blanket solution. The problem seems to be a little more widespread and specific than that... best illustrated by breaking it down by positions.

PGs are all extremely low, whereas PF/C are all extremely high. I understand 2K was trying to get more post play (and thus a "sim" game), but gone are the days of the 80s and 90s when post players dominated the league. It's pretty clear now that positions affected their rating scale. Nevermind that we've got discrepancies like Roy Hibbert being Indiana's go-to guy instead of Danny Granger. We've got Spencer Hawes getting more plays than Andre Iguodala; Darko Milicic getting as many plays as Tyreke Evans; Andris Biedrins and Ben Wallace getting more plays than Kevin Martin,

I heard one of my detractors say all that's needed is some edits to key players... that would honestly depend on your definition of "some", because to me, it looks like more than half of the league is off by at least 10 points. Which is why I was "testing" different values in the first place.
