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

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.

well i just look at there number of yrs in league, in the next couple of yrs we will see where they rank, but rose will dominate the pg position as he is doing now, especially since he has developed a jumpshot and 3pt

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.

I read, up to five. I can see someone like Jordan having more. We'll see tomorrow when the have a full write-up. I hope they have something for players who get to the free-throw line alot. Players like Corey Maggette, Rodney Stuckey, Ginobli, MJ etc...

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.

I don't think it is a guaranteed fall from each iso...

I am not expecting it to be every iso. But for there to be a signature skill for it is really immature. Not something I expect from a simulation 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

not but luke ridnour doesn't do it often like Derrick Rose. Rose's crossover is lethal. and should he have a Bynum or Novak guarding him , that defender should be lost or dropped easilyyy. an anklebreaker doesn't always mean they fell to the floor.

Jordan has 5.

Ronnie 2k said it only goes up to 5 and not every player will have the max. In fact, he said many superstars will have less than other players. The point of the sig skills isn't to necessarily make a player more dominant, although it does seem that some skills will definitely help that, but to make them play closer to the style they play in real life. Some role players will find themselves with multiple sigs, because they do a lot of little things.

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot - Derrick Rose Rated 92, His Signature Skills Revealed

Ok listen to what I have to say Shump.

It is a cheesy skill. There should not be an Ankle Breaking skill for a simulation basketball game.

We have a dribbling rating. 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.

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot - Derrick Rose Rated 92, His Signature Skills Revealed

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

They haven't been released yet, but my guesses are:

Closer
Finisher
Microwave
Shot Creator
Deadeye

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

I know ....

*facepalm*

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

Poor Ronnie, I didn't know that he suffered from Retrograde amnesia. That is quite unfortunate.

So why not just give Rose a high ballhandling rating and let the game decide whether or not the defender has the ability, position and momentum to stay with him when he unleashes a crossover?

Re: NBA 2K13 Screenshot - Derrick Rose Rated 92, His Signature Skills Revealed

I think actually making the defender fall would be rare, but your iso move would be more affective. Ronnie does a poor job of explaining these sig skill or he just trying to dumb it down. Good thing 2k will be releasing on sig skills insight tomorrow. (I hope Ronnie didn't write it)

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

Thanks Fitz,

I really don't understand why this has to be explained any further. I am really disappointed in 2K to go down this gimmick route. Once they release the official list we have to decide what needs not to be applied. Ankle Breakers shouldn't be added in any custom roster set.

I agree with these also. but couldnt melo be considered having a hustler signature? Ronnie said for blake that a hustler often scores off of his own offensive rebound. and when melo plays bully ball. he does that almost all of the time

Because it is all assumptions.

Seems like people are getting worked up for the sake of getting worked up...

In the years we've played 2k, weve never seen a situation where defenders fall at a high rate- I dont see that happening In 2k13- can we at least let it be explained first? I don't get it, lol
