Once again, there's no proof that any single player alone makes his teammates better defensively. None.

And what does changing your shot selection have to do with shooting attributes, which is what the Eraser affects?

I don't understand the people against sig skills (although they are the minority).

Of course 2K could have gotten players to reanact these 'skills' using just tendencies and ratings, but like somebody else alluded to, the average/casual gamer doesn't know player tendencies and strengths. So what's wrong with 2K guiding them in the right direction ? now casuals will see that role players like Samuel Dalembert or Tayshaun Prince are not just scrubs and that they have purposes in the flow of a game.

A lot of the skills encourages users to play the game the right way, people will get rewarded for utilizing Noah or Perkins in an offense.

And again, nobody said anything about people falling left to right. Not sure why you keep mentioning that as if someone is saying that is what is going to happen. I am still scared that it will happen too often. Not alot, but more than a realistic amount.

I think you're WAY off here. It's an additional 30% to the chance of ankle breaker. That means, you take the chance of a NORMAL ankle breaker and multiple THAT by 1.3. So it the normal is, say, 5%, then this will make it 6.5%. Still worried? Let's not forget that you have to be fooled on the sticks as well. If you don't do any quite and sudden changes in direction, you won't get an ankle broken.

Wh, What are you talking about thats what I was saying, who else do you think incorporates different defensive schemes. Chandler is a major plus in the mike woodon system because they would be far less effective on defense with just Iman shumpert and mike woodson without chandler. It does increase team defense trust me brotha it does.

In your words, "Oh, Jesus." This may be the most ignorant comment in the thread. Honestly, I don't know why most people are trying to argue against it by referencing Chandler coming to the Knicks (who are still not that great defensively), instead of when Chandler came to the Mavs.

Before Chandler came along, the Mavs had atrocious defense and it was arguably the biggest thing holding the team back for a number of years. Chandler came in and changed the Mavs from a "soft" team to team with championship-caliber defense. Just about every one of the Mavs players lauded him in that regard, all testifying that he changed the mentality of the entire team. If anything, I'd argue that Anchor could be even stronger as Tyson's influence on the team obviously extended beyond his time on the court.

My point is this: It takes half as many consecutively made shots for a player to heat up. Kobe making his first two or three shots in a game is HIGHLY common/possible. What happens then? 4 minutes into the first quarter of a 48 minute game, Kobe is on fire, and could potentially stay on fire for the entire game (and it seems as though with this perk it's not very difficult for that to happen).

Now tell me, how often to you see a player shooting the lights out for 40+ minutes in a game? Last I checked, I've never seen it happen, and even the greatest shooting performances have only occurred once every few years on average. This perk seems like it can make players like Kobe play on fire like the way I described every 3rd or 4th game. If this perk becomes what I think it's capable of being, god help us all against people cheesing with the Lakers in quick matches.

Woodson has always had good defenders on his ball clubs. Beneficiary of circumstance. He's not like a Thibodeau who can have great defensive teams even when his best defensive players are injured.

Okay, now you're just being silly. Knock it off.

Well in that case look what happened to Dallas(without Chandler). Or Orlando last year with Dwight. Cant tell anyone that Orlando had elite defenders.
