But he had more 40+, 50+, and 60+ games during the late 80's. 1988-89 - Shot Creator: Able to score at will in ISO situations - Acrobat: Excellent hang time - Lockdown: Excellent on ball and off ball ability. Won DPOY the previous season. - Microwave: Had ten 40+ games and five 50+ games. - Posterizer: Dunked on people, A LOT. Removed highlight reel since he became less flashy. He should still pull out some highlight dunks due to his dunk package Honorable Mention: - Floor General: He played PG a lot that season, but really looked for his own numbers instead of making the team better. 1990-93, 1st three-peat - Shot Creator: Able to score at will in ISO situations - Acrobat: Excellent hang time - Lockdown: Excellent on ball and off ball ability - Finisher: Got tired of being bullied by the Pistons, so he bulked up in order to finish while being hit. - Floor General: Directed traffic on offense along with Pip. Honorable Mention: - None 1995-98, 2nd three-peat - Shot Creator: Able to score at will in ISO situations - Lockdown: Excellent on ball and off ball ability - Finisher: Bulked up even more during this time. Got to the foul line often - Floor General: Directed traffic on offense along with Pip. - Dead Eye: Deadly midrange at the point. Honorable Mention: - None Some may wonder why I would not (won't in my roster) give him DEAD EYES earlier in his career. I want to show the difference in his scoring styles. Primarily a driver when he was younger, and he shot more jumpers in his later days.

This proves that people who know what they're doing will be able to make amazing rosters using this new signature skill feature.

bravo for effort and knowledge

kind of sucks that 5 is the cap though (hey MJ could still chase-block at 38!)
but as you point out, that gives a greater change in play style

Anyone else find it ironic that they used Steph Curry getting his ankles broken in that video? lol, the guy that's been plagued with bad ankles injuries throughout his career.

Feel free to use this if we are able to edit them. I am currently working on Signature Skills for every classic team that was in 2k12 as well as Dream Team and 2001 Sixers. I am using the same logic for everyone.

It'd be better off if they extend the limitation or 2KInsider gets his job done by a hard work but oh well.. let's just hope they at least let us tweak these for ourselves.

Among all the other signature skills, I feel like interceptor, pick pocket and post proficiency are considerable for MJ's arsenal. Of course the last one, post proficiency, suits for post-95 MJ.

I have added Post Proficiency to 1995-98 MJ and removed Floor General (I rather give that one to Pippen).

For INTERCEPTOR and PICK POCKETER, I feel that LOCKDOWN DEFENDER would cover both those skills with just one slot.
