been an interesting discussion around why these sig skills couldn't be some kind of slider. I have nothing to interject just wanted to say that, and, I agree Sa1nts....

They did pick the 5 i would've picked had i only 5 to pick out of the batch of skills we know about. Microwave sure would've fit.

And although mike couldn't really be considered a floor general like magic, he made everyone he played with better. Its a shame they don't have something for that too

Please have a closer look at Shaq's first 2 seasons. The game is there.

I suppose his 23.4 ppg, 29.3ppg and 29.3 ppg (ref: wikipedia) in his first 3 seasons were all freethrows? Jumpshots?
If backing down your man and creating a 4-6 foot shot is NOT low post skill/moves, then yeah...Shaq had no low post game

It happens but it is a freak thing that rarely happens. Anyone can make someone else fall but it rarely happens. Hell, I have seen Luke Ridnour make Gilbert Arenas fall years ago, should he have it. I don't like it at all. Just put it in the game if the little kids want to see it but make it super rare. Don't give player's labels. But of course Diop or Chris Kaman shouldn't make someone fall but I don't like this as a skill

It sounds to me like you are just afraid that you are going to get embarassed, if someone sets you up catches you out of position and hits you with a nice crossover they deserve it. And you will learn what not to do. I drop people all the time breaking ankles is just part of the game you say its unrealistic, but even cp3 has a commercial saying, (dont qoute me) I take care of my ankles so i can break others.

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.

Ankle breaking doesnt mean you always fall. How is it cheesy? Was it cheesy when AI did it in real life? Is it cheesy when wade does it? I can smell your fear

THIS! thank you...why cant people understand that??

Ryan you're such a troll
