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

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

I think the part that makes Corner Man less redundant than just having a hot spot is that, much like how Westbrook will display more moves near the basket by having Acrobat, the Corner Specialist will more likely gravitate towards the corner more often now instead of sometimes being elsewhere.

And if Speedster means they'll push fast breaks solo more often, then it's quite different than just having someone 90+ speed.

The more I think of this, the more I think these sig skills are more for the CPU's benefit of having players play like their real selves than me or some joe schmoe to know how to use player X cuz he's a Finisher with Chase Down.

I strongly believe this for mainly for the CPU to use these skills to their advantage. In previous games, the CPU wouldn't know that LeBron LOOKS to do a chase down block, because we only had a block rating which in his case was average at best.

These will set certain players apart. Imagaine playing against Michael Jordan with an <b>acrobat</b> and <b>finisher</b> icons. This would truly make him "AIR" Jordan.

Nic Batum, he gets a lot of chasedowns, and on top of that, he is a better shotblocker than lebron.

Serge Ibaka , LeBron, Batum, Josh Smith

Wade used to it a little more so I don't know if they will give him one he still protects the rim the best from his position he probably deserves a general rim proctector sig or just give him the highest block rating for his position


Can't think of anyone else who deserves a sig skill for chasedown blocks

One thing I hope is that players don't get an unnatural boost when doing chase downs. LeBron can chase down pretty much anyone, but not Ibaka or McGee or even Anthony Davis (though Davis and McGee are fast for their size). So long as it stays within the confines of their abilities, I ain't sweatin' it.

Ok one evil comment from me - when the guys were checking out the signature skills icons above different players and trying to figure out which was which - we had a great laugh.

That being said, we will dive into more information about these in the future.

"Oh that's a swing" - that gave me a chuckle.

Yea I am with you. I don't want to give any big men chase down blocks. Because that means they might magically catch up to folks during FB situations.

A healthy Dwight Howard and a few other bigmen can definitely do the chase down, but not often enough that it should be a skill.

That's good stuff. In the meantime, are you able to tell if any of the ones listed in the original post are offbase? I tried to guess what some of the confirmed skills did based on the little information that was available about them.

No doubt that Batum is the best by far chasing people down...
