NBA 2K13 Screenshot Captures Kevin Durant's Signature Skills

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but it seems that "Put-Back Dunker" would be a worthy sig skill. Also, there should be a sig skill for taking charges and THROWING (and finishing) alley oops, as some players are definitely better than others.

And KLove should get a special "Outlet Passer" or "Full Court Passer" skill.

I still don't understand why this can't be captured with ratings. What can signature skills do that player ratings cannot?

I never said anything was in any game.

Once again... what exactly does "Brick Wall" do that a "Set Screen" rating could not?

Never saw a set screen rating before

I think its cooler than just ratings.

And it'd probably make the insider make the players skills more accurate because a lot of times ive seen roleplayers get garbage stats just because they aren't big names. Guess whoever does the ratings will have to actually think about the real life skills instead of just assigning different numbers to a players ratings.

That's a terrible reason.

Explain to me how this isn't true with numerical ratings. Maybe I'm missing something.

There's no rating for put-back dunk, alley-oop, full court pass, setting screens, chase down block, etc. Sure, 2k COULD make 30 more rating categories and really mess with the overall ratings of players, but these are skill sets that not every player possesses, so the ratings for them would be really skewed.

As long as it doesn't become too easy to do something just because a player has a sig skill, there's really no harm. It's a way to differentiate players so they don't all play the same. I'm sure each of these skills have new animations that go with them, so it will really add to the overall possibilities/realism of each game.
