Yeah I was thinking the same thing they will have a rim protector and a chase down artist.
Separate the guys that block shots in the paint vs guys that can chase down block

Re: NBA 2K13 Signature Skills -- Confirmed Additions vs Speculated Additions

Already confirmed
1 Floor General - A player with this skill improves the teams offensive awareness and executes plays quicker


2 Brick Wall - A player with this skill lays the smack down during picks


3 Dead Eyes - A player with this skill isn't affected as much when shooting the J with a hand in his face

4 Lockdown Defender/Defensive Specialist - A player with this skill can get around "Brick Walls" with ease while also staying with their man off the dribble


5 Chase Down Block - A player with this skill is particularly skilled at catching up to block shots from behind


6 Corner Specialist - A player with this skill can down the corner three consistently

7 Alley Ooper - I saw this mentioned briefly in the Game Informer article. It didn't really elaborate on what it does exactly, but I'm assuming a player with this skill is a better finisher at receiving alley oops.


8 Spot Up Shooter - I'm assuming a player with this skill is can knock down spot up jumpers consistently. Unlike the Corner Specialist, this would affect shots from different areas on the court.


9 Ankle Breaker - I guess as the name implies, this skill gives players the ability to pull off ankle-breaking crossovers more effectively.


10 Pick Pocketer - This player is skilled at getting on-ball steals


My additions

• 11 Court Vision - Players that can spot open players and see more of the court
• 12 Flashy Passer - Players capable of making flashy passes
• 13 Dunker - They have a Alley ooper and I think they will have a skill that is for guys that have elite dunk packages and are able to finish
• 14 Post Game - Players that have above average post moves and footwork
• 15 3Pt shooter- Players good at shooting the 3pters
• 16 Pick and Roller - Players good at pick and rolling
• 17 Acrobatic Finisher - Players that are good at absorbing contact, adjusting their shot and finishing
• 18 Rim Protector - Guys good at blocking shots in the paint, defending the paint
• 19 Enforcer - Players that defend the paint don't give up easy baskets and give hard fouls
• 20 Defensive Intensity - I think this will be a sig skill that makes the team player better defense
• 21 Off ball mover - Players that are good at running off screens and getting open shots
• 22 Clutch gene - Players capable of hitting clutch shots
• 23 Energizer - Players that hustle, tip rebounds dive on the floor keep plays alive. These players can swing the momentum in your favor or get the crowd loud or amped
• 24 Pump faker/ foul drawer - Players good at drawing fouls
• 25 Charge taker - Players that are great at taking charges
• 26 Glass Cleaner - Players that are good at rebounding
• 27 Speedster - Players that are quick and explosive
• 28 Fadeaway Shooter - Guys good at fadeaway shooting.

The only ones I am not sure about is #15, 28, 14. I dont have a problem with them. With #15, I think the 3pt rating itself is enough. I dont want to see it overpowered. #14 & #28 would be good if they were to remove the post abilities or just allow the guys with all good post moves or higher. I wouldnt want to see post game more powerful than in 2k12.
Unless there were to have a skill to counter it, like Low Post Defender. Enforcer would be for the easy shots.

I like them. I think it would make a major impact in game and give each player a unique feel. I think it will make teammates in MP play better to their abilities.

I would add:
- Low Post Defender- Players that can defend post moves
-Pick N Poppers- Players that excel in getting into open space after setting picks
-Outlet Passers- Players that excel in making long passes with accuracy


I am trying to think of more team skills for players. I know there might be at least 5.

Re: NBA 2K13 Signature Skills -- Confirmed Additions vs Speculated Additions

Is Brick Wall also count for guys setting good picks or is it just the likelihood of having a defender fall down.

9 Ankle Breaker - I guess as the name implies, this skill gives players the ability to pull off ankle-breaking crossovers more effectively.

Hope this isn't overdone.

I think it is a good screen most of all. It would be silly to see defenders falling down every single time as opposed to sometimes.

Yeah, I dont want to see players(especially bigger players) fall down almost time a pick is set by a player with Brick Wall.

I cant wait to see the rest announced, so I can guess which ones goes to certain players and which ones they dont deserve.

Re: NBA 2K13 Signature Skills -- Confirmed Additions vs Speculated Additions

Well, we do know that "Brick Wall" players won't have an effect on "Defensive Specialists", so that's a good start.

I like that they have counters to sig skills. I hope there is a counter to almost every sig skill. It wouldnt be a good idea to have something that can be overpowering at times that doesnt have anything to stop it.

Lockdown Defender/specialists will counter Brick Walls, Dead Eyes/Corner Specialist(assuming), Ankle breakers(assuming). If there is a PNR sig for handlers, I expect lockdown defender is a counter to that.

This could be a great thing. Imagine having to draft/sign players with certain skills so they can counter stars on division/conference rivals. Like drafting/signing a lockdown defender so they can guard someone like Rose or Westbrook.

That may well be the real beauty about the skills, the tactical side to them.
