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.

That applies to every single shot Kobe takes during an NBA game.

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

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.

Kobe take and make silly shot at any point in the game. I just hope theses shots aren't easyier just because it's late in the 4h quarter because that would be highly unrealistic.

No not really you don't get as anxious when a player takes a reg. jumper with nothing on the line.....

... that's because of the fact that the game won't be decided on a shot with 5:11 to go in the 2nd. It has nothing to do with the fact that Kobe magically gets better at the end of the 4th.

Yea I understand what you're saying but we gotta just wait and see. I for one am excited as hell. 2k12 sucked to me. I actually played call of duty which i despised

You're assuming thats whats going to happen. Just have to wait and see but sitting here moaning over what COULD happen is pointless ya heard me

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

No matter what it does, it's not necessary. It's basically doing what the ratings are supposed to do, except it's a lot more artificial and unrealistic.

The only way this can be rectified is if they're able to be toggled on/off or edited (since I admit I do like the Chasedown Block ability).

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

Here is some data for some of you to read up on

I hope they don't mess up the Clutch/ Closer Sig Skills

Kevin Durant is not more clutch he just gets more opportunities in the clutch to perform: NBA.com defines clutch as last 5 minutes behind or up by 5 or less points.FG dropped 3pt% dropped as well.

http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/player.html#Kevin-Durant|201142;year=201112;season=r;splitType=clutch;splitValue=all

Per 36min Per 36 min in the clutch

FG 50% 39%
3PT 39% 33%
FGA 18.3 28.4
Pts 26.2 34.3

Kobe 2012 Regular season

Per 36min Per 36 min in the clutch

FG 43% 36%
3PT 30% 29%
FGA 21.5 25
Pts 26.1 29.3

Again his percentages don't really increase in the clutch the usage rate just goes up

Dirk, 2012 regular season

Per 36min Per 36 min in the clutch

FG 46% 34%
3PT 37% 30%
FGA 17.9 17.3
Pts 23.2 22.4

Dirk FG% went down and 3pt shot but his FT% was like 95% in the clutch. He didn't become a better shooter in the clutch but he did make his FT's. I say the clutch should not have a big factor

CP3 2012 regular season

Per 36min Per 36 min in the clutch

FG 48% 42%
3PT 37% 21%
FGA 14.7 21.3
Pts 19.6 30.8

CP3 looks more effective in the clutch but he actually is just going to the FT line more and is shooting more shots per 36. His FG and 3PT% dropped.

Lebron, 2012 regular season

Per 36min Per 36 min in the clutch

FG 53% 45%
3PT 36% 39%
FGA 18.1 21.5
Pts 26.0 30.3

LeBron actually didn't drop as some of the more so called "clutch" players. He is as clutch in the last 5 minutes as anyone else.

Melo Next....probably will be Rose or blake though

[ojandpizza]

How does per 36 minutes = in the clutch?

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

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?

If I heard that complaint, I'd tell players to stop watching highlights and start watching games. Better yet, learn to use the internet for research and not just whining. Any NBA player can score 20 on a given night, most of them have done it at least once. Just because something is unlikely doesn't make it unrealistic.

Re: Kevin Durant Signature Skills - Shot Creator, Microwave, Deadeye, Closer and Fini

Overlay is good this year its new and fresh from what we saw in 2K11 and 2K12. As for the skills im looking forward to trying these out and seeing how they work.

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

I'm also a bit skeptical about this signature skills: it seems you have this ON/OFF stuff instead of proper scaled ratings that makes the game really generic.

I think these "traits" should refer only to something outside of the attributes we have, like the "brick wall" one that I heared about for a player good at setting screens, maybe a "help defender" one or "chase-down blocks" speciality.

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

I'm looking forward to the signature skills, I just hope there isn't going to be any cheese like others have mentioned it because I really like to defend (well) and shut players down. I hope there won't be as many mistakes or shoving like there was last year.

video of stream ronnie explains it

I'm going to keep nagging about it, but seriously, those volume bars... You got to be kidding me? What's the point of it anyways, why does it flash all the time. Reminds me of NBA Jam, it's ridiculous.
