Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update Details, Acrobat Signature Skill Removed (1-24-13)
No it's a eurostep outside of the paint resulting in an awkward one footed fade away with no shot timing indicator. Allegedly the game recognizes it as a lay-up attempt. That is a video of a floater.
May I ask why you're inquiring if that is a euro-step?Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Roster Update Details, Acrobat Signature Skill Removed (1-24-13)
because cpu abuse of this moov in HOF when you lost the game and it is an unstoppable and unrealistic moovment too!!
i believed it was a floater called eurostep!!
Gary Payton and penny Hardaway are unstoppable in the game when they begin to do this floater!!Comment

Hopefully they'll add in Lindsey Hunter as the new Suns coach before the end of the year.Comment

Removal of the Acrobat signature skill for online use, while still enabling it for offline use is a great way of addressing the Eurostep abuse issue.
Thank you 2k for making adjustments that both online gamers and offline gamers can work with!
We in the gaming community need to give kudos to 2k when they deserve them, as well as the criticism.Comment

I applaud 2K for this but Ray Allen never had the acrobat sig skill and was probably the most consistent euro step 3 point successor.
So I really don't understand the removal of the SS. Its a great move either way. Glad they are "attempting" to fix this.Comment

Saw that, although LD2k has a response to someone explaining that it's still enabled offline so I don't think they're trying to keep it secret.
Edit: Never mind that maybe they are. That tweet was just deleted as well.Comment

NBA 2K13 Roster Analysis 1/24/13
No player ratings were changed by 2K Sports this roster update (once again). The main changes have been some minor player movement, although quite a few of them are missing. The missing players list has also grown as D-Leaguer players continue to sign in the NBA faster than 2K Sports can seemingly keep up.
What might be the most significant change is that 2K removed the Acrobat signature skill from ALL players who had it. I assume that the skill was game breaking.
All 20 players who lost the skill did not receive a replacement skill from 2K Sports.
Unfortunately, due to poor design users cannot remove signature skills from players without replacing them with another skill. Only 2K can do this, for whatever reason. Meaning if you likewise want to take Acrobat out of your roster as well, you'll need to find a skill to replace it with.

Kemba Walker (83/PG) - Bobcats

INJURED PLAYERS
The big injury news is that Raymond Felton has been activated, and inserted into the Knicks' staritng lineup. Frankly, I think it's absurd that Felton has been activated this early, as he had been targeting 1/26 as his return date, but it's unclear if he'll be ready for it. Meanwhile Alexey Shved is day-to-day and practiced on Tuesday, but he's on the sidelines. There isn't any consistency and 2K is once again favoring the big markets.
Minnesota's season-long decimation due to injury continues. Shved and Pekovic will be back in a few days but fans will be without them until then. There are currently only 8 healthy players on the 2K rosters. Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson have been playing big minutes, but 2K is unlikely to add either until they are signed for the duration of the season. Johnson is averaging 10/4 w/ 1.7 mpg in only 17 mpg and is almost certainly a lock to stick.
Louis Williams also became the 5th NBA player to sustain an injury that will knock him out for the season.
NEW
Louis Williams (78/SG) - Hawks
Hedo Turkoglu (72/SF) - Magic (1/21 roster)
Nikola Pekovic (76/C) - Timberwolves (1/21 roster)

Cartier Martin (67/SF) - Wizards
RECOVERED

PLAYER MOVEMENT
Yesterday's 3-for-1 trade left the Grizzlies with only 11 players on their 2K roster. The Grizz signed swingman Chris Johnson to a 10-day contract to get their roster up to 12, and will be working out various veterans to fill out the rest of the roster. Memphis has already been linked to Delonte West, Bill Walker, Samardo Samuels, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Josh Childress, and Sasha Vujacic
CAVALIERS
Marreese Speights (70/PF) from Grizzlies
Josh Selby (65/SG) from Grizzlies
Wayne Ellington (64/SG) from Grizzlies

Jarvis Varnado (PF) - Heat (7 games, 4.3 mpg)
Kevin Murphy (SG) - Jazz (5 games, 2.6 mpg)

Julyan Stone (PG/SG) - Nuggets (2 games, 5.5 mpg, played 22 games prior to this season)
Ben Hansbrough (PG/SG) - Pacers (16 games, 8.4 mpg)
Patrick Beverley (PG) - Rockets (6 games, 14.3 mpg)
Aron Baynes (C) - Spurs (0 games)
Diante Garrett (SG) - Suns (6 games, 5.0 mpg)
Mickael Gelabale (SF) Timberwolves (3 games, 20.7 mpg)
Chris Johnson (C/PF) - Timberwolves (3 games, 17.3 mpg, played 41 games prior to this season)
Kent Bazemore (SG/SF) - Warriors (26 games, 2.6 mpg)
TOTAL: 13
Patrick Beverley has quickly supplanted Toney Douglas as the Rockets backup PG, and needs to be added to the game. IIRC correctly, he was previously in an NBA 2K game despite not playing until this year, which should make his addition easier.
Mike James is clearly part of Dallas' rotation, and needs to be added. He has been in previous 2K games and his re-addition to the game should not be particularly difficult. He has been missing since last year though, so don't expect him to be added until he is signed for the rest of the season.
Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson have played extremely well for Minnesota, garnering a ton of minutes (for 10-day contract players) due to injuries. Both need to be added, however 2K will likely only add one as the Wolves have 16 players on the roster with a game max of 15. In my roster I simply released Brandon Roy, who is unlikely to play again (while also dropping his ridiculous 80 rating to avoid another team from signing him).
------------------------------------------------------
INCORRECT LINEUPS
KNICKS
Jason Kidd (PG), Iman Shumpert (SG), Carmelo Anthony (SF), Amare Stoudemire (PF), Tyson Chandler (C)
Amare Stoudemire has yet to start a game since returning on 1/1. It would be nice if 2K Sports also dropped his rating about 5 points (from a ridiculous 83) as he isn't anywhere near the athletic finisher he was during his prime. Chris Copeland and Kurt Thomas have been drawing the majority of PF starts.
MAGIC
Jameer Nelson (PG), Arron Afflalo (SG), DeQuan Jones (SF), Andrew Nicholson (PF), Nikola Vucevic (C)
Glen Davis returned to the starting lineup on 1/16. That's 4 games and 3 rosters ago.
WIZARDS
A.J. Price (PG), Bradley Beal (SG), Trevor Ariza (SF), Trevor Booker (PF), Emeka Okafor (C)
Nene has been starting at PF and Booker hasn't started a game since 11/14. On a side note, it's amusing to see John Wall on the bench while Amare starts for the Knicks. Big market double standard much?
