The longer the outlet pass is in the game, the higher risk there is for throwing a bad pass. If the rebounder fulfills the two rules mentioned, the pass will have 50% less penalty than normal

I see what you doing 2k and I like it. I really like this one because in 2k12 every big man has deadly accurate outlet passes.

For comparison purposes, when contact occurs in one of these areas, bruisers cause their opponents to lose energy about half as much as when his opponent is running.

I cant wait to send my goon in on some unsuspecting cheeser and deplete his stars energy. At least thats how I see it playing out.


I wonder how will all of these skills play off of one another and what type of balance or imbalance will it bring to hum vs hum play. Whatever it does it has me way more intrigued than last year.

(The pass will hit the receiver on point and will give him up to a 10% bonus on two-point shots and a 4% bonus on three-point shots, so long as the potential made shot by the shooter would result in an assist for the Post Playmaker). The pass itself should make you to get a better opportunity to shot (for example to make you a bit more wide open and have more time to make a shot) but not just make a better shotter no matter why. I have an idea what they were trying to make, but I dunno, it still sounds strange to me.

The only problem I have with Noah having the Post Playmaker skill is that a lot of Noah's plays were made out of the high post non-engaged , and unless I'm wrong, it seems you have to be engaged in the post to utilize this skill.

That's not necessarily true. Someone like Tyson Chandler for instance is lauded for his communication on defense. The Knicks didn't go from one of the worst to one of the better defensive teams just because Chandler spent all season covering up mistakes.

That's pretty much what Dwight Howard has done in Orlando for five years.

That's what I was envisioning as well. It's often overlooked, but there's a big difference between a teammate who slops a pass out near my feet from the post because they have no other choice, and the guy who's savvy down low and knows exactly how and where to get me the rock out on the perimeter.
