Do you really think that they didn't take care to not make a redundant skill? And, again, tendencies drive the behaviors - they are not ratings. They are the likelihood that you DO an action. Not the chance at succeeding in that action. Just because I guy does something a lot doesn't make him good at it. You get what I'm saying?

Top 5 in what?

Microwave and Heat Retention are going to work well together. Shot Creator and Deadeye will also complement one another well. A player with all four is going to be an assassin. So far we know Kobe is going to have Heat Retention, Shot Creator and Deadeye for sure. I can see Microwave being one of his last two sig skills. My myplayer is going to have all four plus Finish. Can't wait for 2K13

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.

What the hell are you trying to say? 2K thinks that players alone can make defenders around them better. I've proven that this isn't true.

Woodson came to the Knicks and they got better defensively, and when he became head coach, they improved even MORE. Yeah, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

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.

Look at Defensive Efficiency. The Mavs did not get that much better with Chandler. They have good defensive coaching. They were better with MF-ing Erick Dampier than they were with Chandler.

Who's ignorant now?

What happened to Dallas? They were 8th in Defensive Efficiency with Chandler in 2011, and 8th without him in 2012.

Keep telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. It's amusing.

Almost guarantee that the dev team didn't break it down in percentages like that for one move to happen.

Don't look at the specific examples I am giving. The point I am making is what should be focused on. As with ratings, 2K will probably assign/take away sig skills like hotcakes. They just the gun with their roster updates, why does anyone expect this to be any different?

None except actual PLAYERS calling out teammates that are their defensive MVPs or "anchors". But what do players know, right? Ask ANY Houston Rocket what Hakeem did for them defensively.

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

It's called shooting in RHYTHM! Do you just want to bitch about this because it sounds like you're not even TRYING to see where they were going with this. If you think it's contrived, that's fine. I can see that. But it plays on ideologies that many people believe in the game of basketball.

So you really don't understand that the Clutch Rating serves the same purpose of the Clutch Sig Skill?

That Skill isn't redundant?
