    Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed

    I'm disappointed with the max of 5 per players. It's not sim that LeBron can't be as special as he really is because of a silly max on skill.

      Once again, there's no proof that any single player alone makes his teammates better defensively. None.

      And what does changing your shot selection have to do with shooting attributes, which is what the Eraser affects?

        I don't understand the people against sig skills (although they are the minority).

        Of course 2K could have gotten players to reanact these 'skills' using just tendencies and ratings, but like somebody else alluded to, the average/casual gamer doesn't know player tendencies and strengths. So what's wrong with 2K guiding them in the right direction ? now casuals will see that role players like Samuel Dalembert or Tayshaun Prince are not just scrubs and that they have purposes in the flow of a game.

        A lot of the skills encourages users to play the game the right way, people will get rewarded for utilizing Noah or Perkins in an offense.

          And again, nobody said anything about people falling left to right. Not sure why you keep mentioning that as if someone is saying that is what is going to happen. I am still scared that it will happen too often. Not alot, but more than a realistic amount.
          I think you're WAY off here. It's an additional 30% to the chance of ankle breaker. That means, you take the chance of a NORMAL ankle breaker and multiple THAT by 1.3. So it the normal is, say, 5%, then this will make it 6.5%. Still worried? Let's not forget that you have to be fooled on the sticks as well. If you don't do any quite and sudden changes in direction, you won't get an ankle broken.

            Wh, What are you talking about thats what I was saying, who else do you think incorporates different defensive schemes. Chandler is a major plus in the mike woodon system because they would be far less effective on defense with just Iman shumpert and mike woodson without chandler. It does increase team defense trust me brotha it does.

              That goes completely against the concept of a defensive anchor. He doesn't make his teammates BETTER. He covers up their mistakes.

              Oh, Jesus.
              In your words, "Oh, Jesus." This may be the most ignorant comment in the thread. Honestly, I don't know why most people are trying to argue against it by referencing Chandler coming to the Knicks (who are still not that great defensively), instead of when Chandler came to the Mavs.

              Before Chandler came along, the Mavs had atrocious defense and it was arguably the biggest thing holding the team back for a number of years. Chandler came in and changed the Mavs from a "soft" team to team with championship-caliber defense. Just about every one of the Mavs players lauded him in that regard, all testifying that he changed the mentality of the entire team. If anything, I'd argue that Anchor could be even stronger as Tyson's influence on the team obviously extended beyond his time on the court.

              My point is this: It takes half as many consecutively made shots for a player to heat up. Kobe making his first two or three shots in a game is HIGHLY common/possible. What happens then? 4 minutes into the first quarter of a 48 minute game, Kobe is on fire, and could potentially stay on fire for the entire game (and it seems as though with this perk it's not very difficult for that to happen).

              Now tell me, how often to you see a player shooting the lights out for 40+ minutes in a game? Last I checked, I've never seen it happen, and even the greatest shooting performances have only occurred once every few years on average. This perk seems like it can make players like Kobe play on fire like the way I described every 3rd or 4th game. If this perk becomes what I think it's capable of being, god help us all against people cheesing with the Lakers in quick matches.

                Woodson has always had good defenders on his ball clubs. Beneficiary of circumstance. He's not like a Thibodeau who can have great defensive teams even when his best defensive players are injured.

                  Updates will include:

                  1 Game Winner from Hedo: Update: Hedo = Closer.
                  Brandon Jennings dunks on someone for the first time in his career: Update: Jennings = Posterizer.

                  2K will go overboard as usual.
                  Okay, now you're just being silly. Knock it off.

                    Well in that case look what happened to Dallas(without Chandler). Or Orlando last year with Dwight. Cant tell anyone that Orlando had elite defenders.

                      All of them are not worthless, I am not saying that but a lot of them are.
                      Do you really think that they didn't take care to not make a redundant skill? And, again, tendencies drive the behaviors - they are not ratings. They are the likelihood that you DO an action. Not the chance at succeeding in that action. Just because I guy does something a lot doesn't make him good at it. You get what I'm saying?

                          Microwave and Heat Retention are going to work well together. Shot Creator and Deadeye will also complement one another well. A player with all four is going to be an assassin. So far we know Kobe is going to have Heat Retention, Shot Creator and Deadeye for sure. I can see Microwave being one of his last two sig skills. My myplayer is going to have all four plus Finish. Can't wait for 2K13

                            What the hell are you trying to say? 2K thinks that players alone can make defenders around them better. I've proven that this isn't true.

                            Woodson came to the Knicks and they got better defensively, and when he became head coach, they improved even MORE. Yeah, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

                            Look at Defensive Efficiency. The Mavs did not get that much better with Chandler. They have good defensive coaching. They were better with MF-ing Erick Dampier than they were with Chandler.

                            What happened to Dallas? They were 8th in Defensive Efficiency with Chandler in 2011, and 8th without him in 2012.

                            Keep telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. It's amusing.

                              Almost guarantee that the dev team didn't break it down in percentages like that for one move to happen.

                                Don't look at the specific examples I am giving. The point I am making is what should be focused on. As with ratings, 2K will probably assign/take away sig skills like hotcakes. They just the gun with their roster updates, why does anyone expect this to be any different?
