Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

Some Kentucky players..

Anthony Davis - Eraser
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - Finisher, Scrapper.. Wouldn't give him lockdown defender yet
Doron Lamb - Spot Up Shooter, Corner Specialist
Darius Miller - Spot Up Shooter
Marquis Teague -
Terrence Jones -
Josh Harrellson - Hustle Points
Brandon Knight -
DeAndre Liggins -
John Wall - Acrobat, Finisher, Dimer, Interceptor
DeMarcus Cousins - Break Starter, Bruiser, Charge Card, Post Playmaker (excellent passer out of the post much like Shaq was.. Google Demarcus cousins passing for a 3 part video of nothing but his assists), Pick Pocket (1.4 SPG that mostly occurred right after an opponent's defensive rebound.. Would catch them looking to pass and would poke it out instead of getting back on D)
Patrick Patterson -
Eric Bledsoe -
Daniel Orton -

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

I think I've seen the downfall of Vince Carter, no Sig Skills at all is shocking.Then we have the Magic, Mavericks, and the Bobcats lookin Dead with barely anyone with Sig skills. Overall I think every team has the correct skills for the type of team they are except for some stars like Wade, Lebron and Melo

Man, how does CP3 not have Closer? Get rid of that Ankle breaker and hook him up with Closer.. Possibly switch alley ooper (even though he's one of the best oop throwers in the league) for shot creator too..

Agree with everyone who says to switch D Wade's Deadeye to Finisher..

LeBron needs floor general but I don't know what you give up for him..

I think prime Vince Carter would have been chock full of signature skills. However, I'm not sure I could justify last year's Vince having ones such as Highlight Reel or Posterizer. I know he had between 10-15 nasty dunks last year, but 1) they weren't all monster facials and 2) none were windmills or 360's. Adding another year to his age now, I think that makes it tough to say he should have signature skills that provide a boost in his likelihood to jam in people's faces or busting off showy dunks.

That said, I still think he should have a signature dunk package, leading the way with this type of flush:

Ideally, 36 year old video game Vince would dunk normally most of the time and every now and again, pull off a jam like the one above.

Re: NBA 2K13 - ALL Signature Skills for Each Player

Just to critique my beloved Kings. Im actually happy with Cousins skills as I believe they suit him pretty well. I would remove the pick pocket skill from Tyreke and possibly the ankle breaker skill. While he has made a defender or two fall in the past, he heavily favors his right hand on drives and doesn't usually go left. (Although, maybe you dont have to be good with both hands to be an ankle breaker) Other than that, I think everyone is has fair skills. Compared to some of the other teams, I think the kings skills seem fair.

Cant wait to get started playing with them.

think Cousins deserves post proficiency

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

76ERS

Bynum – Post Proficiency, Hustle Points, Bruiser, Brick Wall
Holiday – Pick Pocket
Young – Chase Down Artist, Finisher
Turner – None
Richardson – Corner Specialist
Wright – Corner Specialist
Nick Young – Corner Specialist, Microwave
Hawes – Post Playmaker
Allen – None
Moultrie – None
Kwame – Bruiser
Ivey – None

I have some gripes with the distribution of sig skills for my sixers.


1) Why does Jrue not have lockdown defender?

This is a quote from Synergy Sports who handle advanced statistal data about the NBA.

Holiday has given a solid effort on defense this season. In terms of points-per-possession allowed, he is one of the top-50 defensive players in the NBA, according to Synergy Sports.

2)Nick Young should have the acrobat sig skill


One might ask why, well here's your proof.

Enuff said.:wink:


3) The last thing is that Thad should have the hustle poins or scrapper sig skill because anybody that watches the sixers knows alot of Thad's points come from offensive rebounds and hustle plays.


Turner may deserve one skill, like Ankle breaker, break starter or finisher

@ the OP:

You are awesome for taking the time to do this!

Thank you!

No problem man! Anything for great discussion. Hopefully we get more 2K developers in here like before to read opinions.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

Glen Davis~~~ Add Charge Card and Scrapper?

I completely overlooked Charge Card for Davis. This was a terrible miss for 2K, wow. This has Davis written all over it!

[hear me now]

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

Kurt Thomas should have charge card.

[hear me now]

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

David Lee doesn't need finisher,he needs scrapper and break starter.

This is the problem with the perception of Signature Skills that I've mentioned in several threads. If Holiday is one of the top 50 defensive players in the NBA, why does he deserve something that was only given to 14 guys?

A "solid effort" on defense does not mean he should neutralize the offensive skills of his matchup.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Signature Skills for Every Player

That'd be Kevin Durant actually

You do more then score on offense.

When will people learn there is more to being a great player then scoring?
