Re: Blake Griffin & Michael Jordan Signature Skills from PAX '12 Live Stream

highlight dunks are an ability? lol. dunk = 2 points

Signature skills aren't supposed to be thought of like ratings. They are to differentiate players. I think this is a great signature skill because of exactly that. It doesn't necessarily make Blake better, but it will better represent the type of player he is. There are players with high dunk abilities that don't always go for highlight reel dunks every time they attack the rim. Then there's Blake, who does try to make a highlight every time.

I think it's great. It's annoying to me in video games when players always do dunk contest type dunks in regular games, especially when in traffic. Hopefully, this sig skill will lessen that to only specific players.

Since when does Blake do dunk contest dunks in a regular game?

I think it would be best for everyone if we all just forgot this ever happened.

I have to admit the highlight reel dunk sounds like well... like just style points reserved for the few. Unless you do one of these and it can silent the crowd or be like a momentum swing towards your team, then it is all for visuals.

Posterizer now that is the one I expected and this doesn't sound like it gives you a cheesy advantage.

Everybody knows what blake needs to improve and he does too, who doesnt........ he's still a young top 5 power forward in the game give the man time he has more playoff experience and a long career ahead now so he'll do his thing this year but what is the argument about anyway does anybody disagree with his skills.......?

Re: Derrick Rose Signature Skills

truth is lebron is atleast better passer and has better court vision than rose. Rose is a scoring guard more suited to play SG and if he was just 4 inches taller he would be best player in league and mvp every year

I don't see how adding four inches will make Rose the best player in the league.

Re: Blake Griffin & Michael Jordan Signature Skills from PAX '12 Live Stream

I like that they're still adjusting the ratings prior to the official release. Not that everyone needs to go down, but there are a few that I've seen that could use a point or two lower overall rating. Otherwise, it seems that the current players would be rated higher than many of the classic/legends players that are obviously better than them overall (looking at you, Melo!).

Also loving the Lockdown Defender sig. As Ronnie 2k said, it's an important one. The ability to negate another players offensive signature skill is HUGE. Definitely want one of these on a team I'm playing as.

Re: Derrick Rose Signature Skills

lebron better than rose at point guard, man please, that laughable deron willams cp3 rondo nash are all great point gards, but rose is just better than those guys hands down, now they make be better passers some what, but all around rose better (with the exception deron willams shoot better, but not for long i would say)

Rose is more athletic and a better finisher at the rim that's about it. CP3 is a better decision maker, better leader, better passer, better defender, and a better shooter than Rose is.

anyone know if melo has 5 signature skills? or what exactly they are?

Re: Derrick Rose Signature Skills

Rose is more athletic and a better finisher at the rim that's about it. CP3 is a better decision maker, better leader, better passer, better defender, and a better shooter than Rose is.

True story. I would add, however, that Rose is more explosive and the better scorer. Overall, it should average out that Paul is slightly better overall, maybe a 93.

Re: Blake Griffin & Michael Jordan Signature Skills from PAX '12 Live Stream

So for sure players will only be assigned 5?
I thought that better players could have more than 5 in their system but only 5 would be used in certain situations.

Floor General, not too sure about that one to be honest. I could see why but I am on the fence. 2K did a good job with picking his 5.

Ok so he says the ankle breakers will make someone fall. Not too sure how I feel about that. Really arcadish to me. I could do without anyone have that skill to be honest.
