Normally I play as the 76ers, Nuggets or Knicks, but I'm constantly amazed at Dwight's lack of presence around the rim on defense (or any renowned defender - Chandler, McGee's block skill, Ibaka, Noah, and so on)/
does anyone else feel like the defensive sig. skills are somewhat meaningless?

does anyone else feel like the defensive sig. skills are somewhat meaningless?
I know that online gameplay has never emphasized defensive skill sets, but I just feel like there's something seriously goofy about this game when you've got guys with tons of defensive buffs like Dwight Howard getting dunked on three or four times a game by right-stick skilled Dwyane Wade users. It's not 2006, and Dwight's not exactly a small man. He shouldn't be cowering under Wade's awesome might, he should be crushing that little punk and throwing him to the ground.

Re: does anyone else feel like the defensive sig. skills are somewhat meaningless?
I really can't say anything about this. Since I play really good D. As for D-wade dunking on people as if it was 2004, what kind of sliders are you using? I used to have the same problem with people doing dunks that they shouldn't, until I started using mkharsh's sliders. The Defensive Skills work well too. You guys sure you are using them when in the correct situation? Chasedown Artist requires really good timing, and the player has to be on the same side of the ball, or else it isn't gonna work. Eraser only takes effect when you actually block a shot. Not when attempting to.Last edited by Speedy_Bronco; 11-02-2012, 01:24 AM.Comment

I'm just speaking on the online game; I usually wait a month or three to start playing offline, if at all, depending roster and slider sets. Back in 2K8 or 2K9, when Ron Artest was on the Kings, you could play as a team with solid offensive players and a lockdown defender (the Magic, of course, fit into this as well) and shut down a great offensive team if you just played solid defense and let your guys do their thing. Over the past three years this has more and more not been the case, and this year feels like the worst offender so far. There was a lot of talk about defensive abilities leading up to this game's release, but I try to use the lockdown D and I predict accurately with the right stick where these guys are moving, but they just keep dribbling and dribbling and eventually I get an auto-animation that moves me out of place, and then they get a free lane right over [insert lowpost defender]'s face. It just doesn't make sense.I really can't say anything about this. Since I play really good D. As for D-wade dunking on people as if it was 2004, what kind of sliders are you using?

Like I said sarcastically in the last post, I just lost to the Hornets with the Rockets by 5 points not because of any exceptional strategy from my opponent, but because Austin Rivers was triggering dunk animations (I still don't understand how this happens by the way, I always get bricked layups even with LeBron when I try) 12 feet from the basket that made Omer Asik, a man three times Rivers' size, cower in fear.Comment

Yep!
Good defenders should have different animations than poor defenders. At times Steve Nash is just as good as D12 on blocks, CP3 on steals, or K-Love on Off rebounds.
Good or great defense is rarely rewarded in 2K13!True bout my business, Mane!Comment

I feel that Defensive Anchor awards poor defensive teams....Comment

I never have and don't think it's possible. I would rather them bring back the blocking & defensive animations from 2K11. Hopes this gets patched.
