I don't think they were going for accuracy, they were looking to appease those flooding twitter. The types looking to recreate Lin's hot streak over the course of an entire season. Not exactly for the sim heads, but you can't say 2k doesn't listen to the community, just the casuals who jumped on the Lin bandwagon were super vocal this time. Just curious to see what happens when he inevitably hits a cold streak.

he's averaging 1.6 steals per game in his 7 starts... i'd say 78 is about right... not that high... not that low... he definitely seems to have quick hands... i've seen him tie people up a couple of times and force jump balls on drives as well.

78 ball security is also not that high... considering he has the ball in his hands as much as he does, this isn't so bad.

What about his tendencies? Did 2K update any of those. I know the 2KInsider will alot of times not update players tendencies.

Jeremy Lin is averaging 6.8 turnovers per 48 minutes right now.

Russel Westbrook - 6.1
Deron Williams - 5.5
Steve Nash - 5.4
John Wall - 5.4

none of them too far from Lin right now, and I'm pretty positive all these guys have a slightly to vastly higher ball security rating then him... which leads me to believe that they got it about right...

4 things

1) Russell Westbrook shouldn't be included that list
2) The rest of those guys have at least a 2:1 assist turnover ratio
3) those guys have played a larger sample of games
4) Those guys have played against teams with much better defense


That's why this how special ratings update is silly. His best competitor this run was the lakers, and for some reason they let derek fisher guard him one on one (Mike brown might as well assigned a folding chair to guard him). And now he's a 75.

Let's wait until Jeremy lin plays the Heat, Bulls, or Thunder, and see what his turnovers are then.

Similar to steve nash, who is usually near the top of the league in turnovers.. and is about 2:1 assist to turnover... that's where he'll sit, because he has to have the ball so much in this system...

78 ball security is in no way too high for a PG who has the ball all the damn time...

especially in this game, where defensive PG's can get away with swiping at the ball without getting reach-in fouls called on them, until they eventually rip you clean and take it the other way for an easy 2...

you want his ball security to be sub 70? i don't get it... he'd be unusable... he couldn't play like himself because he'd just be losing the ball constantly... sorta like he did when he was rated a 56 overall...

right now, he should play a lot like he does in real life... only thing i see being a bit off is the mid range being 80... 76-78 seemed a little more reasonable... 80 is approaching automatic with a good look... stat is 80 right now, and i still drain every good look i get from mid-range with him, on HoF/Sim online.

Nash this season has 288 assist and 97 turnovers. How does that come out to 2:1?

Lin is shooting 60% from midrange. If anything 80 is too low. But then all the guys online will be going kobe with him if you made it higher

yea... is he shooting 60% from mid-range? still... only 7 games... he hasn't even TAKEN many mid-range shots... most of his damage ,scoring wise, happens at the rim or at the line...

you were right about nash, but i still stand by the fact that you couldn't make his ball security much lower than what it is now and expect him to be able to handle the ball as much as he does in real life, in the game... no point guard should have sub 70 ball security... especially in d'antoni's system...

Yeah your point about getting ripped easily in this game makes sense. I just seen some other PG ratings that are lower then that, that I feel are better than Jeremy LIn. But again, he hasn't shown enough games to know either way.

He announced it on his Twitter account.
