NBA 2K13 Screenshot Captures Kevin Durant's Signature Skills

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

Where have you been in the last 8 months. SacTown is now playing him as a SF

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

Precisely. With the exception of a few that added animation types such as Chase Down Blocker, that's pretty how I viewed it from the get-go.

It's an arcade decision that takes control away from SimNation.

And honestly, why do we need stuff like "Lockdown defender," "Shot creator" and "Finisher"? WTF are the ratings for? Those things dictated lockdown defense, ability to hit jumpers, and the ability to finish at the rim just fine.

Signature skills sounds like some arcade stuff tbqh.

It's the same thing every year with 2K, I swear. 2 steps forward, 4 steps back.

I don't think it's that bad really.

We still don't know where 2K has took a step back. 'Still'

I don't think it's that bad really.

My point is that they just do things that they have no business doing that the game could simply do without. But for some reason or another, we get things like lock-on defense, terrible online, CPU players not playing realistically, "signature skills," etc.

Play the game, then take the appropiate conclusions. Dunno why people is saying it is an arcade thing without having played it

[FLAWDAxBALLA954]

hence why the clutch skill scares me, game winner cheese

If thats the case it makes the game more realistic in a sense that you keep the ball out of a stars hand at all times during moments like these. You see kobe coming up with seconds on a clock and a chance to put it away you force somebody else to beat you

Just like you would in 2K12 where there is no skill traits.

I just hope 2K didn't go too far with this.

I hate when people complain about things before the game comes out. Because ironically, when the game actually comes out, everything that they complained about actually turns out to be a good thing, and most of the things they praised end up bad.

If you hate it so much im sure live will suit all of your basketball needs

The fact that I think the game has needless flaws means I can't enjoy it?

Naw I think its fine, I dont see the issue ok kobe durant etc will have a higher chance at making a game winning shot but thats realistic. Think about it in real life when you see kobe take a last second shot no matter what the defence played...you hold your breath cause you know he might make it. Its just realistic, play the best D you can and hope it does'nt go in, keep in mind they miss more than they make.

No it means stop whining so much, and just wait and see what happens. You made your point, we know what your concerns are now lets move on and just wait....if you turn out to be right than feel free to shout at the top of the mountain I TOLD YOU SO.....but until then just chill bro.
