I agree about Butler's shooting, but definitely his defense and rebounding should be recognized. Kid has put in some big games recently, some of them being crucial to getting key wins. Just a little pat on the back 2k, he earned it.

Hey, I'm new to the forum and honestly tried browsing around in the 2K forums to find the best, most accurate, up-to-date "2k share" roster downloads for XBOX 360.

What do you guys recommend to download? I tried that "Real 2K Insider" roster updates with player edits. It's pretty solid, but felt like he got a few guys wrong by not upping their ratings (namely Batum, Klay Thompson, Luol Deng)

weekly melo reminder:

Melo is still at 90 ovr guys...

I know you guys don't put much to overall ratings so look at this

Melo's close/medium/layup ratings are 87/87/79
Westbrook's (who is also 90 overall btw) 92/88/96


also why is melo's ball security 73 he's only averaging 2.3 topg and he's bringing the ball up court like 20x a game


personally think Melo should be at least 92 (so that he's rated above Wade, who we can all agree he's playing at a higher level than) especially considering Kobe & KD are both a 95.

92 was actually Melo's rating when the game was released so what exactly has he done on the court that deserved the 2 point decrease?

FINALLY SOMEONE SEE THIS WITH ME. for whatever reason westbrooks stats are still inflated in his mid range game. His jumper has been wayyy less consistent this year then last year and even in the last update of 2k12 he didnt have a 88 mid range. But to answer your question. at the start of the game (before the season) melo was rated a 92. and i believe westbrook was a 93. Many many people complained because they said he had an off year and that he shouldnt be rated that high. which at the time was very fair.

People wanted westrbook to be lowered becasue NO one could understand why he was rated one point lower than KD(KD was a 94 at the start) Melo was lowered to an 89. and westbrook to a 90. but what was crazy was that westbrooks mid range lay up and dunk were not changed. his overall rating was and his consistency i believe. Melo on the other hand had his lay up, dunk, defense, mid range, inside, close, offensive awareness, deff awareness were all lowered. HE then led the knicks to a great start and was shooting 42 percent form three. 2k raised him to a 90. That was in November i believe. Since thta update i have been asking for melo to be raised back to a 92 because he overall is not thaty much worse than KD and Kobe. It makes no sense why melo hasnt been raised considering kobe has received 2 updates. and unstoppable KD received one also. btw melo still shoots 42 percent from three. and he is still playing consistent defense. 2k give him some credit.

Melo is fine with his ratings IMO. Just got done playing a game where Melo hit all 16 shots I attempted with him. Dude is lights out from outside and the finisher sig skill enables him to finish at the rim. Then inside 2 minutes in the 4th quarter? Closer skill kicks in and forget about it.

I also personally find it harder to guard Carmelo against a cheeser than any other player not named Lebron. People look too much into overall ratings...

It wasnt really his offense i was speaking about. Hid mid range could use a slight bump and three and lay up. but mostly his hustle and defensive stats should have a boost that should have him back to a 92. or even a 91. he is playing better than Wade everyone can agree. i understand wade is shooting a high percentage but look at the roles and how for most of the season melo has CARRIED the knicks on his back. MELO may not get a lot of assists but this year he has become the king of the hockey pass initiator.

Wade shouldnt be a 90s plus ovr anymore IMO. Id say high 80s

Wade stats across the board have been down beside fg percentage. from last year. and even then we were saying he lost a step. Right now melo is the overall 8th ranked player. are there really 7 players playing better than melo right now. Yu can take lebron and kd. after that there is no one who is playing as well as melo and contributing to his team winning games.
