Example we all knew that kevin durant is a dead eye shooter but I thinkthe skillsvis more to help unfamiliar players utilize them to thier best abilities. Maybe Im wrong but I don't see much cheese going on with them and I look forward to those intense moments of guarding the last shot....adrenaline rush.
    Excuse my typos, my ipod does'nt always agree with me

      All this drama over sig skills lol.

      I have a feeling that the skill system will be more balanced than ratings alone, since capturing superstars' qualities just leads to an arms race where all their ratings get jacked up.

      Now 2K can balance the ratings for offense and defense at a more reasonable level while creating a separate but predictable boost from certain skills that don't mess up the ratings.

      The 2K Insiders didn't notice anything crazy from the sig skills, so don't get bent out of shape yet.

        I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but it seems that "Put-Back Dunker" would be a worthy sig skill. Also, there should be a sig skill for taking charges and THROWING (and finishing) alley oops, as some players are definitely better than others.

        And KLove should get a special "Outlet Passer" or "Full Court Passer" skill.

        Just because you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.

          I still don't understand why this can't be captured with ratings. What can signature skills do that player ratings cannot?

                I never said anything was in any game.

                Once again... what exactly does "Brick Wall" do that a "Set Screen" rating could not?

                  Never saw a set screen rating before

                  I think its cooler than just ratings.

                  And it'd probably make the insider make the players skills more accurate because a lot of times ive seen roleplayers get garbage stats just because they aren't big names. Guess whoever does the ratings will have to actually think about the real life skills instead of just assigning different numbers to a players ratings.

                    That's a terrible reason.

                    Explain to me how this isn't true with numerical ratings. Maybe I'm missing something.

                      There's no rating for put-back dunk, alley-oop, full court pass, setting screens, chase down block, etc. Sure, 2k COULD make 30 more rating categories and really mess with the overall ratings of players, but these are skill sets that not every player possesses, so the ratings for them would be really skewed.

                      As long as it doesn't become too easy to do something just because a player has a sig skill, there's really no harm. It's a way to differentiate players so they don't all play the same. I'm sure each of these skills have new animations that go with them, so it will really add to the overall possibilities/realism of each game.

                      Just because you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.

                        The set screen tendencies just meant the player would set more screens, the brick wall thing means when a player sets a pick it's stronger ala KG.

                          That was already the case with numerical ratings.

                          I said rating, not tendency.

                            like when nick collison for OKC got like a 40-50 rating in defense awareness and amare got a rating in the 70s.

                            If those were sig skills, I don't think that would happen..basically I am saying that the 2kinsider doesn't touch on all players like he should, and since we got this new feature i'm sure the 2k team will want him to make every player have the most accurate skills so I would believe it'd force him to give accurate skills instead of just seeing a player and scaling a number. Like nick collison 40-50 D-awareness. Thats crazy..at least now he'll get that trash can thing or whatever

                              So you're saying it's a shortcut because the 2K insider is stupid, lazy or both.

                              I would say fire his dumb ***, but maybe that's just me.

                                I think some role players could use more attention. Just makes everything more distinct..might seem gimmicky but I like it.
