HyperBaller/DC NBA 2k13 Signature Skills Project

Re: HyperBaller/DC NBA 2k13 Signature Skills Project

Here is the thing about Ankle Breaker with Deron and Russell; They both have that signature skill, but they both also have high dribble ratings as well. We have to see when the sig is activated and what animation that creates to see who should get it or not.

I feel like Gordon Hayward should have Chasedown Artist. Not sure if you guys gave it to Batum, but if you did, Hayward should have it too. He chased a lot of layups down last year.

Re: HyperBaller/DC NBA 2k13 Signature Skills Project

And from what I found out on the demo is that it just makes it easier for the player with Ankle Breaker equipped to get past his man easier (Sealing the defender off as he drives past). I experienced this with Westbrook in the demo and saw video evidence of this with Deron Williams (who also got Ankle Breaker I think).

Edit: Ignore the unsim like gameplay lol. Look at how easily Deron is able to seal off Felton and get to the rim whenever he wants to? I think this might be do in part to the Ankle Breaker skill. In the demo I haven't been able to do it with anyone other than Westbrook consistently.

Deron does indeed have ankle breaker. Proof: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ry-player.html

What I noticed in that video was D-Will got past Felton much easier than he did Kidd or Brewer. Hopefully, even players with a higher on-ball D (which both of those players should have) will not allow players with the Ankle Breaker Sig Skill to get to the rack whenever they want. The bodied him MUCH better than Felton did. Felton looked horrible, which he should.

If you put Lebron (or Wade or Battier) on Westbrook, does Westbrook still get to the rack at will? I'm on PC and don't have the Demo to test. I'm assuming those players got pretty high On-Ball Defense ratings.

Brandon Bass and Kevin Garnett both deserve the Spot Up Shooter signature skill. Both shoot a huge 48 percent from 16 to 23 feet, and although that is only 15th in the league for players that play at least 10 minutes and played at least 20 games last year, they are 2nd and third in the league from 16 to 23 feet of players that take at least 5 of those shots a game, and 5th and 6th in the league of players that take at least 2 of those shots a game. They are knockdown mid-ranged shooters, and the stats display that and their ability to maintain high shooting percentages off the pass while taking 5-6 shots per game.

I could attempt to make the argument that Bass deserves Deadeye, but I have no stats to back it up.

EDIT---------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that you will only be giving the Spot Up Shooter signature skill to three point shooters, and with good reason, however, I would recommend testing how this affects these players on the practice floor.

Are you accounting for 2K ratings requirements for some skills?

For example for Highlight Film, I think a player needs to have 90+ Dunk.

Lebron was able to stop Westbrook from driving much more consistently than Chalmers (He has the Lockdown Defender signature skill). He was able to use his bigger body and quick feet to cut off the angles faster than Westbrook can attack them.

Brewer also has Lockdown defender as well. Lockdown defender negates all the offensive signature skills except for Floor General if I'm not mistaken.

a bit off topic...but i wanted to let you know hyper what I've learned about the Mini dunk packages

No sliders in MyCareer.
There are so many mini dunk packages. It is just too many to name. I only know how to post pics on twitter. (computer illiterate lol)
You can assign up to 15 mini dunk packages to 1 player as well as pre-game rituals and pre tip rituals (ie Lebron/Wade boxing followed by Lebron powder toss)

Re: HyperBaller/DC NBA 2k13 Signature Skills Project

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 -

What Sig Skills does Kidd have on defense, if any?

I didn't realize there was a requirement for highlight film. I may have to change who I give this Signature Skill too.

Side note: with the addition of the new mini-dunk packages, I can give certain players a basic type of "flashy dunk" along with highlight film so we won't see anything out of the ordinary.

I think most(if not all) skills have a rating requirements.

I think Posterizer has a rating requirement of 95+ Dunk. Im not sure, but I for sure both HR and Posterizer has a requirement of 90+ dunks.

That is why I believe some players dont have some skills. They may not have the rating necessary for the skill.

I'll find out tomorrow once I have the game in my hands. I hope there is not a rating requirement for regular rosters, although can I understand if it was MyCareer.
