Weird Ratings
Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:12 am
HOw is Joey Graham rated better than Deron and Paul? Why is Felton and Green (a player with tons of potential, but not exactly top talent) a 69? I understand it doesn't go by picks, but its widely known that Deron and Paul are MUCH better PGs that Felt. Grahams rating I really don't get, and Green's is a mystery.
Also, some of the foreigners (actually all) are rated harshly, none are ready to contribute in the game. It seems American players have higher ratings.
Taft having a 50 rating and 8 potential (1-8 scale) is pretty harsh too

I'm sorry, but I find that a bit rude, especially since I've:
a) acknowledged a lot of the rookies in v1.14 won't be perfecy
b) admitted I haven't seen a lot of them play and have been going by what I read in the scouting reports
Don't get me wrong, I welcome constructive criticism but you seem much more interested in simply blasting my efforts. If you have some specific suggestions, by all means let me know.
About Destiny ratings: I neglected to fix those up in v1.14, these are things I fix during the offseason. It's a hell of a lot of work adding 60 rookies and virtually impossible to get everything done (and everything right) the first time over. Again, I welcome constructive criticism but sheesh, cut me a little slack please.

None of these players have played a second in the NBA. It's near impossible to get the ratings anywhere near correct straight after the draft.

Well yeah, because they're not ready to contribute.

No, not really. Not as much as specific suggestions as I've already looked into scouting reports and tried to make NBA predictions.

The ratings in v1.14 are a great starting point. I have seen lots of the rookies play. Their are a few players that need to be tweaked. I'm sure the next version will be even better, with all the posted suggestions.
The one thing I don't understand about this Section, is all the complaining about settings. If you think there is a player that is wrong, everyone is capable of fine tuning their verison. Its not that hard. Andrew has already done all the hard work for everyone. I can only imagine how long it took to create all the rookies.

Well said PMurphy17
I also think we will get a closer match as soon as preseason starts. Andrew you have done such a good job for so many years. I congratulate you and encourage you to keep up the good work as long as you can.
