Why are ratings even necessary?

Wouldn't it benefit 2k and the roster creators so much more if instead of a rating from 25-99 or a tendency from 0-100, the rosters would be purely statistic based, on formulas alone provided by the most detailed of advanced player tracking mechanisms, especially the new Courtvision camera? So instead of shot 3pt, real 3pt% from all ranges and all different types of coverage would be used to truly create an objective roster. Thoughts?

Yes that would be amazing, but i think 2k is busy getting another rapper to executive produce 2k14..

The current system is good if you download some rosters, otherwise the official 2k ones are a complete joke. Tony parker 80 3pt rating and Harden 81; just one of the great errors in these ratings

But your idea would be awesome

Like what the other company did?

Cue the guy who says "stats don't always tell the whole story".

players skills will be represented by ratings regardless

First, how would one edit that?

Second, your casual gamer is not going to bother going to Synergy to see how well certain players shoot contested 16-23 foot jumpers.

On top of that, there are ratings that are not stats-based.

Oh my god, 2k would be the GOAT if they did this.

Wasn't the ratings relatively accurate in Live? I would presume that you'll be able to keep a separate roster file.

The issue would be taking ALL creativity away from the USER. For example if 2k did this, how would anyone be able to make another Roster project. You would be stuck with whatever Stock Roster that 2k Gave you. And stats dont always translate over to the Game engine.
