NBA 2K13 - All 31 Signature Skills Revealed

[illwill10]

I like what I read and that Stamina will play a part. I also like that there will be rules with them.

The only thing is being locked at 5. I dont want players with a ton of them, but I am pretty sure a player might not have the skills they should have.

The only thing I want to hear is how they are obtained and is it ratings related. Does a player have to have a certain rating to have a skill.? And can they be switched before games.

Something that probably happens less than 30 times in an entire NBA season now has the potential of happening at least once per NBA 2K game is cheesy and immature. I don't think you understand how high of a number 30% is when it comes to THIS.

In my over 1000 quick matches in 2k12 I have only stumbled or fell from a crossover maybe 10 times. So if there is a 30% increase only on players with the ability(assuming they are not being guarded by a lockdown defender) then I might see 15 or 20 this year. Sounds good to me.

I think this will be a step up for 2k and really help make 2k13 more of a chess match.

parsons got shafted on his defense in 2k12 even when he had games locking down durant and kobe. I hope he finally gets his respect and this ability

lol, but now you're just arguing semantics because the lockdown will neutralize anyways, this isn't the real NBA. Lockdown is the counter to ankle breaker, and it WILL work. No need to worry about aggressive style of defensive play.

You do have control over who you're using and your own ability to defend an iso hoarder.

If you are playing great on ball D with a good defender, hopefully someone with one of the sig skills for defense, the isomotion that leads to a lethal crossover isn't going to happen.

Period.

At all.

If there is a maximum effective range for the Ankle Breaker skill, then all should be good regarding the 30% increase of a player getting crossed up.

It was already an RPG with the use of attributes. Now they're just making it more streamlined with the use of perks (signature skills).

This is going to be the NBA 2K that revolutionalizes the series.

Ok, if you don't want to use a "Lockdown Defender", then you would have to play smart defense and accept that you may get broken down. And rely on your other teammates to help when it happen. Just like in real life. Strategy and timing is your key to success with these skills and also your ability to counter these skills.
