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

[FreeChico93]

Im using the lock down icon as soon as i can get the signature skills. Im shutting all that **** down haha

[Grown@ssMan85]

been an interesting discussion around why these sig skills couldn't be some kind of slider. I have nothing to interject just wanted to say that, and, I agree Sa1nts....

They did pick the 5 i would've picked had i only 5 to pick out of the batch of skills we know about. Microwave sure would've fit.

And although mike couldn't really be considered a floor general like magic, he made everyone he played with better. Its a shame they don't have something for that too




Please have a closer look at Shaq's first 2 seasons. The game is there.

I suppose his 23.4 ppg, 29.3ppg and 29.3 ppg (ref: wikipedia) in his first 3 seasons were all freethrows? Jumpshots?
If backing down your man and creating a 4-6 foot shot is NOT low post skill/moves, then yeah...Shaq had no low post game

okay educate me what skill is needed to back someone down for a 4 foot shot??? strength isn't a skill... if im wrong correct me

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

It sounds to me like you are just afraid that you are going to get embarassed, if someone sets you up catches you out of position and hits you with a nice crossover they deserve it. And you will learn what not to do. I drop people all the time breaking ankles is just part of the game you say its unrealistic, but even cp3 has a commercial saying, (dont qoute me) I take care of my ankles so i can break others.

[FLAWDAxBALLA954]

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.

Ankle breaking doesnt mean you always fall. How is it cheesy? Was it cheesy when AI did it in real life? Is it cheesy when wade does it? I can smell your fear

[FLAWDAxBALLA954]

your right about their being dribbling ratings but that is not enough to differeniate players.

steve nash and chris paul should will most likely have high dribbling ratings right? but that Signature Skills seperates them because steve nash cannot break peoples ankle.

ratings aren't everything.

THIS! thank you...why cant people understand that??

[FLAWDAxBALLA954]

So what's stopping 2K from introducing a "Chasedown Block" rating?

Again:

There's nothing ratings can't do that "Signature Skills" hopes to accomplish.

Ryan you're such a troll

Somebody please tell me how MJ does not have the microwave, or highlight film skills???? Also a 95 offensively?? If anybody has a rating higher than that 2k will look stupid lol

[ojandpizza]

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

Yeah that dude didn't make any sense lol

[The 24th Letter]

Maybe we should get rid of signature styles and add "shoots like himself" ratings

[ojandpizza]

i'm not a rose fan, i just respect his game, the guy is the best point guard in the league, we will just agree to disagree i see.... no problem, nash is not even in the same class as rose bro,

Best PG in the league??? No way in hell.. He is an outstanding talent there is no arguing that, and as far as being a "player" yeah he could be more talented at any player that plays pg.. But calling him the best "PG" in the league is a complete joke... Guys like Nash, CP3, Tony Parker, Rondo, soon to be Kyrie and Rubio- those are true PGs... Apparently you don't understand how a PG is supposed to play..

Ron Artest signature skills

1. Bully - ability to talk trash & start arguments

2. Brawler - ability to run into the crowd and swing on the fans

3. Lockdown Defender - No need to explain

4. Elbow of truth- Ability to elbow players and give them concussions

[juicey79]

Noah going down had a bigger impact on the team falling apart in the playoffs than Rose's injury.

My man, they were down 2 games to 1 when he got hurt. They came back to Philly down 3-2.
I think rose being there equals a 4-1 series win for the bulls. Also, rose closed the gameby finishing at the rim unlike the jump shooters.

..Nah, he might be more physically gifted than a lot of PG's (aside from Westbrook), but in terms of who has the complete package that would be Chris Paul in my opinion. The man could average 25-30 PPG if he wanted.

I'm not sure that Rose fits into the floor general category either. I'm not hating, he is amazing but floor general would seem to fit players like Steve Nash and Chauncey Billups a little better.

It'll also be interesting to see if LeBron gets the 4th quarter signature skill. After all his failures in big moments does one season get him a pass?
