The set screen tendencies just meant the player would set more screens, the brick wall thing means when a player sets a pick it's stronger ala KG.

That was already the case with numerical ratings.

I'm sure each of these skills have new animations that go with them, so it will really add to the overall possibilities/realism of each game.

For the second time...

I said rating, not tendency.

like when nick collison for OKC got like a 40-50 rating in defense awareness and amare got a rating in the 70s.

If those were sig skills, I don't think that would happen..basically I am saying that the 2kinsider doesn't touch on all players like he should, and since we got this new feature i'm sure the 2k team will want him to make every player have the most accurate skills so I would believe it'd force him to give accurate skills instead of just seeing a player and scaling a number. Like nick collison 40-50 D-awareness. Thats crazy..at least now he'll get that trash can thing or whatever

So you're saying it's a shortcut because the 2K insider is stupid, lazy or both.

I would say fire his dumb ***, but maybe that's just me.

I think some role players could use more attention. Just makes everything more distinct..might seem gimmicky but I like it.

I hope fatigue will still be taken into account given the sig skills of certain players. While sig skills may be pointless to some, there are plenty of newcomers to the 2k series who will find this addition helpful.

Once again, if that's what 2K wants, then fire the dickhead working as the 2K Insider and hire someone with sense.

I think it probably comes down to memory 30 new categories for each player for the whole league would be roughly 10,800 sig skill ratings for the whole league. I would guess that is the reason.
