Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot Captures Kevin Durant's Signature Skills

Even if these signature skills create a higher probability for some players over others to separate the amazing players from the role players, there's always a way to stop someone or something.

That doesn't make it logical.

That doesn't make it logical.

Hearing complaints that "anyone in the game could have a 20 point night if they're used right, that's not realistic" was probably the scenario that 2K took into consideration when making these thirty skills. Seems logical to me.

What would you do hearing that complaint from your constant players of your game? Just adjust ratings?

Uh... yeah. If you give up a 20-point game to Hasheem Thabeet, that's your fault, unless the game is unbalanced in some way.

Kobe (even though he's overrated), Jordan, LeBron, etc., are great players in the clutch because they're great players period. It's up to the user/CPU to get the ball to those players in the best possible position to succeed in the clutch. There's no magical ability in real life to hit shots with a certain amount of time on the game clock.

GIVE ME PROOF that Kobe is overrated. the sig skills are to make these superstars stand out. like why shouldnt he, or Durant be hitting more game winners or heating up quicker than average players? That's what they do. There's a reason you give the ball to these players in the first place. Something called Pressure is the reason why great players aren't worse in the clutch as you so asininely stated. It's not magic, its heart. Ask Michael Jordan

Well thankfully for you, you can make that decision and that statement. Meanwhile, if 2K released that statement verbatim, it would be the same complaints for an entire 365 days about how 2K games aren't real because "Thabeet can drop 20 this is so fake oh my god improve defense how can he do this to me" and whatnot.

Guess we'll see the other skills are that aren't offense related, because apparently, those are the ones that have people the most worried. Haven't seen one complaint about the defensive ones yet.

Um... it's 2K's job to make the game balanced so that good defense will stop Thabeet. If he scores 20 on you and the person doesn't cheese, THAT'S YOUR FAULT.

2K already catered to people who suck by implementing lock-on defense. We don't need scrubs dictating what goes in and out of the game anymore.

Scrubs are also evident on your side of the argument, as well. They're not happy they can't drop ridiculous amounts of points with random players not known for offensive prowess anymore because of some signature skills that differentiate superstars from the others.

Seems like you're implying only people that suck favor these signature skills.

And signature skills shouldn't be implemented for them, either. The ratings dictate that certain players are more likely to do certain things successfully than others. THAT'S THE POINT.

If you can't take advantage of that, as I said, unless the game is flawed or unbalanced (which is their job to fix), THAT'S YOUR FAULT.

Nobody is arguing with you on taking account for your faults and losses. Not sure why this is your central theme through all of your posts when I agree with you on that...

I like the new overall layout.

If that's the case, then signature skills are not necessary at all and are actually a detriment.

Well, that's something we'll have to wait and find out once the game is played.

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot Captures Kevin Durant's Signature Skills

Fair enough.

[sticks323]

Umm Tyreke Evans isnt a SF and Melo has a better crossover then Durant.

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot Captures Kevin Durant's Signature Skills

I don't understand how a lot of you are seeing signature skills as a negative. I see where you all are coming from, but I see more positives than negatives. As a roster maker, these can add a lot more depth in editing players.
