NBA 2K13 Signature Skills Revealed For Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin and Michael Jordan

Re: NBA 2K13 Signature Skills Revealed For Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin and Michael Jo

You aren't listening to a word I am saying 24.

I never once said I expect it to happen at a high rate. I am simply saying that it shouldn't even be a sig skill.

Why? Because we already have dribble ratings and sub-divisions called abilities.

Why not just allow the people with high marks in both of those categories get the "ankle breaking skill" instead of giving it an official label?

They can achieve the same thing through that route.

Make it very rare and exclusive to those I mentioned above. But when you put a label on it you official make it a gimmick.

Why do that?

Because it is all assumptions.

Seems like people are getting worked up for the sake of getting worked up...

In the years we've played 2k, weve never seen a situation where defenders fall at a high rate- I dont see that happening In 2k13- can we at least let it be explained first? I don't get it, lol

Yes this ffs people why not wait till all info is released and see how it plays out. I mean the community guys didn't even complain about the signature skills. I don't even think they noticed any difference....

Wait,

So if you don't think its going to be overpowered, what exactly is the complaint? You don't like the fact it's called "ankle breaking"?

I'm lost.

If anything, they pointed out how different players felt:...

But it's that time of year- spazzing first ask questions last

My issue is it being introduced as one of the signature skills.
My issue is it being the most gimmick based of the signature skills.
My issue is it doesn't belong in the game and is not needed at all.

We already had the resources to make it happen but they just felt the need to throw that 3rd grade gimmick into the game. For what? To make a few thousands kids happy?

I know they want to sell records but damn 2K. This skill isn't needed.

I agree with these also. but couldnt melo be considered having a hustler signature? Ronnie said for blake that a hustler often scores off of his own offensive rebound. and when melo plays bully ball. he does that almost all of the time

I think they mean players that go all out like diving recklessly for loose balls and sacrificing their bodies like Griffin, Nocioni, Artest, "Psycho T" Handsbrough ect...

nah ronnie said the skill name was "Hustle Points" which is when a player is more than likely to score off an offensive rebound. hustle points = hustling for the rebound and scoring.

I'm sure that signature skills are use the differentiate players who would have similar ratings in the past. Lets take dunk rating for example. Two players can have a 99 dunk rating, but that does not mean that they would dunk in the same situation, or even do a certain type of dunk. Lets look at two of the premier dunking bigs in the league:

Blake Griffin:
- 90+ dunk rating
- 90+ dunk tendency
- Signature skills related to dunking are: highlight reel, posterizer

Dwight Howard
- 90+ dunk rating
- 90+ dunk tendency
- (Likely) Signature skills related to dunking are: posterizer

So both of them are good at catching alleys and posterizing defenders. But Blake is more likely to do flashy dunk (windmill, 360, etc) on a open break situation that Dwight. I know we have dunk packages, but we could never choose what dunks they want to do in certain situations.

Yea and i think melo fits that category. Plus Ronnie said these signatures are to separate players ,therefore, melo and Kd cant have all the same signature skills, and that offensive rebound(hustle) one might just be the stat to seperate them. Even tho melo fits into all of the signatures that KD has.

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot - Derrick Rose Rated 92, His Signature Skills Revealed

Ok listen to what I have to say Shump.

It is a cheesy skill. There should not be an Ankle Breaking skill for a simulation basketball game.

We have a dribbling rating. We have sub-ratings via Abilities that were introduced in 2K12.

There is no reason to have this in the game for 2K13. It is cheesy and immature.

People can fall randomly and rarely by using the Abilities/Dribbling Ratings. Why not just use that, why make the game more arcade by adding that skill?

It is childish. I really don't see how that can be argued.

your right about their being dribbling ratings but that is not enough to differeniate players.

steve nash and chris paul should will most likely have high dribbling ratings right? but that Signature Skills seperates them because steve nash cannot break peoples ankle.

ratings aren't everything.

Couldn't most of the signature skills be considered gimmicky in a sense? We need to see them within the context of the game and figure out which skills are "pointless."

I'm interested in seeing the more defensive minded signature skills. Most of the skills showcased thus far are offensively geared and I want to see defensive counters. I'm just worried about an imbalance in gameplay....

Posterizer could also prevent any player from Dunking on someone. Last year, basically anyone could dunk on someone at times if they had a dunk ratings over 75.

Finisher is most likely Shoot in traffic.

You forget that grades and certain attributes translate differently for each position.

If you were to make Griffin a SF or SG, those grades would become worse.

Shot, I've seen those annoying dunk-on animations trigger even when a player has a 70 rating. I'm hoping that the Dynamic Shot Generator will effect those animations a lot more this year. I'm also hoping we'll see some believeable and varying blocked dunk (i.e. Ibaka or Dwight) animations this year.
