For, me the most ridiculous sig skill has to be closer. I mean no matter how crappy you play, your superstar will get significant rating boosts anyway only because it's the 4th quarter. It's ridiculous. Yeah, ESPN is telling you some nice stories about "stepping up" and "coming through in the clutch"...and of course the "insider" responsible for ratings won't bother looking at real life 4th quarter stats, which prove that "cluch" superstars are mostly able to kind of maintain their usual efficiency in crunchtime, but not much more than that.

So it's no surprise that 2k doesn't realize that nice 4th quarter statlines are mostly the result of superstars simply taking more shots when the game is on the line rather than magical skill enhancements. It's just nonsense. Now add skills like microwave (rewarding gamers for jacking up shots), and fatigue not having enough effect to make shot selection a factor...

I hope they turn sig skills down in 2k14, but I doubt it.
