I think everybody is getting hung up on the words "defensive falls" like it's the only possible outcome of the ankle breaker skill.

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
Good God man.
How many times do we see someone get dropped in a year?
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xb7BA2XKgHw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
How many times was that? About 10-12?
How many times do we see someone simply go in the other direction from a crossover and unable to get back in the play just in a regular game?Comment

Honestly can't tell if this is a post for or against Ankle Breaker, lol.Good God man.

But I think too many people are hung up on the idea of someone falling. I don't think the simple result of a crossover with Ankle Breaker will ALWAYS produce a fall.
However, I would love to see a lot of those animations when a terrible on ball defender goes the other way and can't catch up. I don't care much about the falling...but if I cross you and I know you're playing me WAY too tight to properly guard me, I wanna see that. Especially with Ankle Breaker.-elcamero.Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
You would be surprised.
I've seen plenty Gatorade cups from opponents whoring out stars, and that was only in the first quarter. 2K12 was horrible in implementing fatigue as it should be...but I hope they're hitting the right direction with 2K13. A few of the Team Up people said they saw players hunched over or sweating during their play time.-elcamero.Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
I say gotta chill with it a LOT. The whole "it's gotta be precisely like real life" attitude is beyond extreme imo. Especially when we're not talking huge percentage discrepancies.HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
For example I would give more sigs to a guy like Battier/Ariza/Noah than elite players like Anthony/Howard/Durant.
Shane Battier if done proper would look something like









While even an elite SF like Carmelo Anthony would look like this.

The Ankle Breaker can either make you fall, stumble, or have a harder time to recover. I doubt we'll be seeing people falling left and rightAm I trolling? Am I serious? Did Dennis Green and the Cardinals really "let them off the hook"? What about the children? Find out next weekComment

Colts cry us a river seriously, all you do is whine and moan about ankle breaker all ryan does is whine about ratings you two are like broken records. People make good points and all you do is ignore them and press the issue. Why can't you just wait like everybody else? Whats the poing in arguing if you are not open minded to other viewpoints? You sir are a Troll in every sense of the word. Ryan tooIt doesn't matter dude. If only 20 people have it the probability of 10% is very high. Nobody in the world crosses someone and makes them fall 10% of the time.
As I said, I don't know if you understand how high of a % that is for this.
Something closer to 2-3% is ideal and realistic but I am even thinking that is high.Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
I don't know what the actual percentage is but I guarantee its at best in the single digits which means Ankle Breaker would give you at best a 2% increase. That isn't gamebreakingThe way some of you are reacting makes me think you failed Basketball Simulation 101. It happening 10/100 times is way too much. 10 out of a 1000 would make more sense from a simulation standpoint but my issue is it will happen too much based on the numbers that they gave me.
I really think you dudes on here think someone falling from a cross happens more than it actually does. Way more than it actually does.Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
They said it's less than a 50% chance it happens.
Think about how a boost like that affects a player's OVR. Depending on the attribute, maybe 1 or 2 tops? Not a big increase. If you recall, in Assoc. mode, players would get +1 OVR if their morale was up, which lasted entire games instead of the last 5 minutes or so.If someone already mentioned this, I apologize for not reading through every page but, are we cool with this:
Closer
This player raises his game in clutch moments. For the last 40% of a fourth quarter and all overtimes, a Closer receives the following perks:
1. Attribute boosts of up to 12 attribute points
I'm not a big fan of artificial attribute boosts.
I really wanted to like this because Rondo is a total boss, but then I saw the troll liked it, so... sorry.
More or less.
1. Can you find 50 instances of a player getting hot for a whole game like that over the past 25 years? Even if you did find 50, that's only twice per year (out of approx 1240 games) that something like that happens.That's where the basketball IQ of the user comes into effect. How would you stop a hot player in real life? Double team, better help D, etc. Just because a player is hot doesn't mean he's invincible. Of course, if you continue to leave him open or continue with the same defense that got him hot in the first place, then you deserve to continue getting torched.
[Reggie Miller youtube clip here]
2. My point was just that that SS might give too large of a buff to players. I'd say instead of automagically letting a player stay hot through timeouts and quarter breaks, the player should only have a certain percent chance (maybe 30%) that they retain their heat through being subbed out, timeouts, halftime, etc.
He used 8% as a filler figure, to help get an example across instead of using algebra, not because he believed that 8% is the actual rate. Otherwise it would look something like:The way some of you are reacting makes me think you failed Basketball Simulation 101. It happening 10/100 times is way too much. 10 out of a 1000 would make more sense from a simulation standpoint but my issue is it will happen too much based on the numbers that they gave me.
Let: x = % of crossovers that result in knockdown; y = % buff; z = new % of crossovers that result in knockdown
x + (x * y) = z
The people saying that the 30% means that people will fall down on 30% of crossovers are obviously not too good at math and/or reading, so I don't think algebra is the way to go, here.Last edited by djwax90; 09-03-2012, 01:20 PM.DALLAS 2011 MAVERICKS

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
.....
This makes no kind of sense.
If you're playing with a player that has that skill in the first place then it's not really your skill to begin with since they already have an exceptional ball-handling rating to begin with.
Of course you're going to cross over someone with D-Will.
Or are you telling me you were crossing people up with Derek Fisher and now you're worried about him having ankle breaker?Comment

Re: NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed
The crossovers are not arbitrary man ... sheesh.
All you're doing in the first place is twirling a stick, so what if they added an extra 2-5% increase to its effectiveness ?2K teams : Rockets,Thunder
