That's the problem. When you give on/off skills that represent great qualities on a player they tend to get exaggerated and be on so many players that using a player that doesn't have one an issue.

Attributes like dimer, posterizer, lockdown defender etc. could be just on attributes that go on 25-99. If you have 99 passing you're a dimer and gradually lowering that attribute removes that bonus.

A better way would be maybe make the signature skills just badges reflecting player attributes. A player with 90 dunk would have a posterizer badge, but the badge itself wouldn't do anything. It would be just an easy clue for the user to know without having to look at all the attributes. Some could be a combination of attributes, like eraser could be using block + strength + vertical.

And some signature skills should just plain be represented by attributes. Why is there a brick wall signature skill? Shouldn't setting screens be an attribute from 25 to 99?

Most of the signature skills could be done this way. I'm curious whether there are any that could not? (Maybe floor general, defensive anchor?)

It helps separate guys who deserve over others who don't. I see all the time what's the difference between this guy and that guy in Madden, I think 2k at least allows it so that superstars with these abilities are different from the rest of the pack, albeit I think they may be a bit OP. (especially the stealing ones)

Naa they could be attributes under the mental category, maybe a sort of Offensive and Defensive Court Prescence attribute or something
