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

Ankle Breakers (players ive seen with extremely good crossovers)
Brandon Jennings
D.Rose
Kyrie Irving
CP3
Derron Williams
John Wall
Tyreke Evans
D.Wade
Kevin Durant (go watch vids if u dont believe)
Austin Rivers
Jeff Teague
Jamal Crawford
Kemba Walker

Thats all I got, other players like Westbrook,Ron df o,Tony Parker,Nash are all good but I never really see them cross people over extremely bad, they use quickness and skill to get past defenders

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

After watching the vids and tweets;
So far, I am guessing we have 13-18(plus some that I cant see) confirmed skills. the original 10 plus Anchor, Flex Arm/Strength, Finisher, Clutch, Get Hot Quick/Streaky Shooter, Sharpshooter. Since Collison has 2, one of them has to be hustle.

So-
-Defensive Anchor
-Finisher
-Get Hot Quick/Streaky Shooter
-SharpShooter
-Hustle
-Clutch



Durant and Westbrook has 5 Sig Skills(as expected), Perkins/Ibaka/Harden has 3, and Thabo and Collision has 2

Perkins has brick wall, an anchor, and a flexed arm. Ibaka has Anchor too. It is hard to make out the skills.

Here is more, some are the same:


I heard new sig skills:
-Acrobat(westbrook had it)- I think it is ability to change shots in air
-Hands symbol- He Wasnt sure, think it is steals
-Dimer- Passing/Assists. Lebron had it.
-Bruiser- Hard Fouls
-Microwave/Get Hot Quick- Get Hot quick
-SPot up shooter
-4th Quarter- CLutch
-Finisher- Finish Strong into paint.
-Defensive Anchor
-Quick Release
-Trash Can/Scrapper
-Leaper/Vertical/Dunker


So there is 22 confirmed Sig Skills. One of the community guys, said that there might be more than 28.

Could it be that "Defensive Anchor" is the opposite of "Floor General"?

I'm starting to think that it could be a player who increases teammates' defensive awareness and can read the offense...

I would take John Wall off of that list.

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

Unless there are a good number of quality animations that only get triggered through the use of skills, I'm leaning towards not using most of these at all. Maybe a handful of players in the league would deserve these skills in ways that can't be represented through ratings. Chase Down Block is the only "skill" thus far that isn't accurately done with animations in 2K12.

Seeing bench warmers with 2-3 skills just makes me shudder to think at how arcade-like this could become. As always, the roster configuration will determine the good/bad that comes from this new option.

Well said. And some of the suggestions that folks have thrown in this post are laughable. I hope this is done in good taste.

I hope that "chasedown" skill doesn't make LeBron an overrated shotblocker in the game, he averaged just 0.8 blocks per game in 38 mpg...

I am thinking that too. I know there will be at least 1 Off Team Skill and 1 Def Team Skill.

I am expecting these:

-Rebounder- Good at getting rebounds. I dont know whether it should be for both or just one and rely on ratings
-Low Post(off)
-Low Post(Def)-Not neccesary if Low Post Defense is improved
- 6th Man Skill- Comes in good off the bench.
-Ball Security- Less likely to turnover over the ball


What else do expect too make it in as a skill.

He gets people sometimes but so does practically every NBA PG at some point. He isn't on an elite level when it comes to that. He uses speed more than shiftiness when getting by folks. Same boat as Westbrook

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

Watching the video again, sma11z99 did mention 2 separate hands symbols: One is "a hand with a ball sticking to it" and the other are two "facing" hands.

I think the first one might be for "pick pocketer" the other could be ball security or an expansion of the old "hands" rating with additional things like palming perhaps?

I agree but john is far more crafty than westbrook. Westbrook is more like a D-wade because he uses his quickness and strength to get to the basket.

That is what I am hoping. I am hoping there is one for Ball Security.

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

And that skill would be to replace the current ball security rating or expand on it?

I dont know. I would keep it and expand it.

I would want the skill to be a counter to Pick-Pocketer. So, the player wouldnt get the ball stolen away compared to others.
