NBA 2K13 Signature Skills Revealed For Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin and Michael Jordan

Hrmm. What would you give 2001 Allen Iverson Hyper?

Mine's looking like Shot Creator, Ankle Breaker, Microwave, Acrobat, and Interceptor.

I also have a feeling that Microwave has replaced the consistency rating. Either that or separated it into a shot by shot basis.

@hyperballer21 it's just too bad we can't have six skill slots so we can fit in closer as well for mj.

I would actually add post proficiency to 90-93 MJ as well but man...it seems like there's no empty slot left. sigh..

I suppose he COULD have post proficiency for 90-93 and remove floor general.

I'll probably will differentiate '91 from '93 like this:

1991 - Shot Creater, Acrobat, Finisher, Lock Down Defender, POSTERIZER
1993 - Shot Creater, Acrobat, Finisher, Lock Down Defender, POST PROFICIENCY

I also updated 1989 Jordan. I replaced Microwave with Heat Retention . I feel that Microwave should be used for those players who can come off the bench and heat up quickly (Jason Terry, Vinnie Johnson, etc). MJ did not need to get hot quick, since the offense soley ran through him. But once he got hot, it was for an extended period of time.

The 5 slot limit is killing me, lol. But we have to make the best of it.

For The Answer, the 4 he must have would look like this:
-Interceptor: Got most of his steals playing the passing lanes
-Shot Creator: Excellent in ISO situations
-Acrobat: Agile at getting his shot off over taller defenders
-Finisher: Got to the Free Throw line often by drawing contact

As for the 5th, its about preference on how you want to play:
-Ankle breaker: One of the best crossovers in the history of the league. Combine this with SHOT CREATOR and you will have some very lethal situations.
-Microwave: I know he can go off. BUT, he was the focal point of the offense. He played 42mpg. He shot the ball 25 times per game while shooting 42% from the field. Like my Jordan post earlier, he needed more than a few shots to get it going. I would go with HEAT RETENTION instead.

My comment about INTERCEPTOR for AI: He probably does not need to have it. This skill gives an attribute boost to steal and vertical. He will probably be in the 90's in both these categories, so you may be able to save the slot. Unless, there are extra animations associated with this skill, then keep it.

You can't have an Iverson without Ankle Breaker, it should be the first skill you choose lol.

While I agree with you, some users feel that ANKLE BREAKER is too "arcadey", so I left it optional. Personally, if I were to only give this skill to one player, it would be AI, lol.

yeah, a lot of people still haven't realized that ankle breaker is one of the weaker skills in the game once you do math for the percentages. It's quite the opposite of arcadey.
