The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.

Not worried at all...
Yep, there was no way in previous 2k to replicate the energy given to a team after a big dunk, big block, a player stepping up and putting his body on line to draw a charge, having a player on the floor that you know has your back on defense or having a PG that knows what to do with the ball and when to do it.

That was pretty cool. I was wondering before what the purpose of signature skills was, and this gave us a pretty good look. I guess this allows 2K to show the value of non-superstars on your team.

"When an Eraser swats a shot, he boosts the energy of his teammates and decreases the shooting attributes (up to six points) of the player he blocked for up to a minute and a half."
This is probably one of my favorite signature skills listed. I'm loving this detailed blog about the skills and the video displaying some of the skills. Keep up the good work, can't wait to try this stuff out.

I'm encouraged more by how Big Baby immediately turned and was ready to catch a pass than I am the sig skills. The AI last year in freelance situations was ignorant. Hopefully that's a sign that it's improved this year. After seeing some of the other videos as well and watching the cutting/screen setting/spotting up, I think it has.

John 4:23. He is seeking a seeker.

I think my favorite part of all this is the implication (within the descriptions) that not all SSs will effect each of the players that have it in the same way. Key words like "up to" imply that there is a maximum percentage effect and that there will still be differentiation between Ibaka with the Eraser SS and, say, Stiemsma with the same SS.

Thank you. Now My bobcats can scrap on the floor and bench player will have a realistic impact on the game. I was looking for defensive sig skills and they have them. Looking like another good game from 2K Sports.
The Buzz is Back in the Queen City. Cho........I have no idea what you are going to do in this draft man.
