Key Team Ratings:

Number of players with SCR over 80
Boston - 0
Brooklyn - 2
NYK - 1
Philly - 0
Toronto - 1
Chicago - 2
Cleveland - 3
Detroit - 0

Number of players with DEF over 80
Boston - 0
Brooklyn - 0
NYK - 0
Philly - 1
Toronto - 0
Chicago - 0
Cleveland - 2
Detroit - 1

These early ratings have me believing that we could be seeing some more parity this year

5 stars got cut down to Kevin Durant, Luka, Jokic, Steph, Russ, Giannis. I like it especially since they **** on TJ Warren and gave him 1.5 stars (a scoring rating under a 40 for him is insane). I traded Batum for him and they got damn near the same scoring rating smh.

man that CLE roster is f*cking scary.

Tatum/Bam/Ayton could all be 5 stars by end of season
Randle is a 4.5
Lavine is a 4. He could in theory be running lineups that his worst player is a 4 star smh!

oh there no way he can retain the same team for next year but I was talking just about this year and his ability to repeat.

Where are you seeing these? I only see down to Detroit right now. Are they posted elsewhere? Or do you have the game?

The sim dropped him from a 96 to a 56 in one season??? And Trez went from an 81 to 69. I'm not even about to get on his rebounding numbes.

I'm about to quit lol

Kawhi didn't have a good defensive year and his steal rating is steal really high but yeah Dropping him to the 50's seems crazy when I see guys that have no business being higher than him.

I can see dropping him to mid 70s, okay that’s fair, but when guys like kuzma and Fournier got better ratings….

And he’s the worst on my entire roster, it’s a problem. No way you drop someone from a 96 to 56. That’s extreme as hell.

That feels like a 10-key typo. Should be like 86. He got Nurked.

If Context plays his best players this year the Pistons could be back in the playoffs.

E-Balla · Post #954 » by **E-Balla** » Fri Dec 3, 2021 4:26 pm

Also I asked him to run a season for me (he didn't change the rosters at all) and Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook shot 35% from deep each. Looks like shooting might not be a problem lol.

I'd bet they go off tracking numbers or something. That's the only place where Kawhi's defensive numbers have significantly dropped over the years.

yeah last year was his worst year. He's been up and down, but even with last year being his worst, it wasn't a huge drop off. And compared to other player def ratings that's been released, it's definitely not justifiable.

When you're happy ratings are going up, but you got to wait for Bish to get to the Western Conference.

Okoro with 42 DEF is also baffling. He struggled as a rookie but the only really value he brings is DEF and they made him an atrocious defender?
