1. I can say anyone is a good defender. Just because someone defends a position doesn't mean they defend it well. Regardless, I agree he is a good defender, not a lockdown defender.

2. Stats by themselves do not reflect anything, particularly when a player averages 4.4 assists to 2.7 turnovers. That is a player who should be recognized as a player capable of running an offense?

3. I will admit I was wrong. 63 overall is reasonable for Leonard. I just assumed offensive awareness jacked up overall. It certainly does for point guards.

1. Batum has given Rose/CP3/Dirk/LeBron fits

2. Am I saying he's a PG? No. His current 44 pass rating is severely underrated. He's been magnificent with his distribution since a few weeks back. He does initiate the offense a great deal. He's starting to pass... a lot and the CPU won't play that way unless he's given the "Point Forward" notion. Heck if I wanted to give him the correct play style it'd be "all around" however he wouldn't distribute with how it's coded now.

3. I don't deal in overalls. I want my Blazers to play as they do in real life at the moment.

1. Batum is an overrated defender because of his steals and blocks numbers. With Batum on the court, the Trailblazers allow 109.1 points per 100 possessions. With him off the court, the Trailblazers allow 103.9 points per 100 possessions. They allow 5.2 points points less when Batum is off the court. Does that really strike you as a player capable of locking down the opponents's top scoring option.

2. His turnovers come from bad passes, not handling the ball. 43 of them were bad passes, while only 21 were ball handling, roughly a 2:1 ratio, while the average point guard has roughly a 3:2 ratio, which shows that Batum does not pass the ball at a great clip because more of his passes are off their mark.

3. Overall should factor into your decision making process because it is crucial for Association mode, which I can only assume you do if you use edited rosters.

1. So one player guards five? Lol one of the worst uses of statistics I've ever seen. Overrated? Ha! That's why Stott's and McMillan both trusted him to defend the opposing teams top scorer? But hey armchair OS user, you know more than they do.

2. Where's your source? 2:1 3:2 not much of a difference simply just the volume of pass attempts? Batum is yet again at it tonight even pulling "Rubios".

3. No, not really. A player playing as they play in real life is MUCH more important than a players cumulative overall rating.

Also Batum is the ONLY player in the entire NBA in the top 40 of steals/assists/blocks/rebounds/points categories! Speaks to how well rounded he truly is.

Bro this is a sig skill "what should be added". The OP NEVER said anything about ratings. C'mon man. You know better. If you are gonna post this stuff post it in the 2k insider thread that was made for him/her/ghost. Or in your very own Portland trailblazer "2k hates portland, change this rating" thread.

Just trying to get it out there for the insider to see.

When did we start talking about well rounded? I thought we were talking about point forward and defense.

1. If a player can lockdown a team's top scoring option, than the team will score less points because their top scoring option will be inefficient. So if Batum was actually shutting down a top scoring option, than the points opposing teams were scoring would be less, not more. Players who are lockdown defenders make their team's defense better, not worse.

2. Stat gotten off of 82games.com The issue is that his turnovers are off of bad passes, not handling the ball. Point guards have good ball handling skills, so logically considerably more of their turnovers would come off of bad passes than ball handling mistakes. Batum with his lesser ball handling skills makes more bad passes compared to ball handling turnovers than the average point guard.

Therefore, Batum is a considerably lesser passer because he has a higher ratio of bad passes to bad ball handling than the average point guard. Basically, this means that despite being an inferior ball handler, he still turns the ball over more by bad passes than bad ball handling, which equates to bad passing.

Also, do not be so dismissive of the difference between 2:1 and 3:2. 2:1 is 33% worse, so a sizable difference.

3. I can see how we disagree here. I don't play online much, mostly association mode. I want young players to sim accurately, and I care considerably less how they perform when I control them.

Re: The "I Think this Player Deserves this Sig Skill" Thread

I guess you could give Evan Turner corner specialist if you knock down his 3 point rating. Looking back that's probably how they should have done it. He has to get the Scrapper sig though. I think this is a must. Statistically, he is one of the best, if not the best, rebounding guards of all-time!!! They also need to give him the ability to push the ball after a rebound (I forget what its called). He almost always pushes the ball after a rebound, not to mention he plays the point sometimes.

I completely agree with everything you said up there. The sig skill you might be referring to for Turner would be Break Starter . I thought of that before too but it seems pretty useless. I haven't seen anyone with that sig skill except Lamar Odom. lol.

Plus, I think these players need a "Yes" in the Play Initiator part.
Evan Turner
Carmelo Anthony
JJ Redick
Andre Iguodala
Manu Ginobili
Kevin Durant
Paul Pierce

More signature skill suggestions:
Jrue Holiday - Finisher
Spencer Hawes - Spot Up Shooter (lol but looking like he deserves it lately.)
Jared Sullinger - Scrapper
Chris Paul - Lockdown Defender (I'd replace the Oop.)
Greivis Vasquez - Dimer
Anthony Davis - Hustle Points
Derrick Favors - Bruiser

What do you think about Eraser and Hustle Points for Derrick Favors?

Re: The "I Think this Player Deserves this Sig Skill" Thread

I don't use 2K's up to date rosters (been using my own for months now) so this might be on there already...

Tyson Chandler - lockdown defender

[Rare Talent]

Re: The "I Think this Player Deserves this Sig Skill" Thread

Greg Stiemsma - Brick Wall

Enough said.

And you could turn his Commit Foul tendency to 99 because when he sets screens, he checks the defender like he is playing hockey and usually gets called lol.

Re: The "I Think this Player Deserves this Sig Skill" Thread

Melo- hustle points. Tips in alot of his missis and teamates missis

J.r. Smith- shot creator. He creats alot of space with his stupid step backs he is knocking down at a crazy rate. He needs an overall upgrade to his rebounding and n ball defense.

J.r. Smith- highlight film- if he has the oppurtunity. He will pull out something special

Tyson chandler- finisher the nba leader in fg% misses alot of layups under the rim when he is contsted by guys like mario chalmers.

Re: The "I Think this Player Deserves this Sig Skill" Thread

Shane Battier - Spot-up Shooter...he's been a spot-up shooter for years now and is shooting over 40% from 3PT-range so far this season, with almost all of his 3's coming off of spot-up's.

Ray Allen - Deadeye...if he gets even a bit of space he can launch and hit it, no matter if defenders are closing out late or not.

Joel Anthony - Defensive Anchor...if he's on the floor, the Heat are one of the best defenses in the league. When he's not, they tend to be one of the worst defensive teams in the league. One of the best pick-and-roll defenders in the entire league and forces teams out of their comfort zones on a regular basis. (Now if only he had any form of an offensive game whatsoever.)

Rashard Lewis - Spot-up Shooter...I really don't need to explain this one as spotting up for jumpers and playing sparingly in the post is all he does at this point in his career.

I think this is what I was referring to. There's an animation that allows guys to push the ball once they get the rebound or take an inbound and handle the ball. Turner should definitely have it. Tyreke Evans as well.
