well, if we're being technical, kg was a great communicator and defensive anchor in minnesota, but the results weren't nearly as drastically successful until boston. it was a perfect storm, but he was the physical lynchpin of rivers and thibodeau's system.

this is a great start.

I can get behind the idea, but i think ots incomplete without there being attribute minimums to qualify for the more tangible signature skills.

How in the world will I stop Kobe Bryant if he has Shot Creator, Dead Eye, and Heat Retention all activated at the same time? I like that we cant just rely on timeouts just to cool somebody off.

i think that's what 2k wants you to finally worry about. just like in real life, when kobe is in a zone, you essentially defend him perfectly and still play the percentages and hope he misses.

there are, in a way, they just didn't say it outright. the guys who are "dimers" are all guys with high pass ratings, anyway. they didn't say it outright, but it's not like a guy with 72 pass rating is going to have that skill, because that makes no sense.

Tyson Chandler didn't do jack except hold down the paint. I didn't see Steve Novak or Jeremy Lin playing better defense by virtue of Chandler being on the floor. So does a great perimeter defender. Why can't we have that?

Kinda late

That could play to many people's benefits.

You know there are plenty of novice players who just pop the game in and hop on without reading anything prior to release. They'll hop into a game and try doing the same thing they did in 2K12, or just seeing their Signature Skills and thinking they'll automatically work no matter what to do.

Easy wins for us!

KG was the same defensive player in Minnesota, but he didn't make his teammates better defensively. The reason for that is because Boston had a great defensive coach.

This is rarely something that a player alone can accomplish.
