Well done, 2k! Adds so much more strategy and variation to gameplay and association. Really excited!

Great point, ratings should be the cake of these sig skills, and the sig skills actually being the icing. If Kobe has 95 mid range and Kemba has a 85 mid range even tho they have the same sig skill, the ratings should create the difference between the two along with the tendencies. On paper this sounds great, but we still have to play the game to see if it's as great as we think it is.

I hope that not every time a brick waller sets a screen, they dont knock someone on their backside, that'll get old real quick

Yeah you obviously don't play basketball OUTSIDE of 2K.

Scrapper Example Players: Chuck Hayes, Reggie Evans, Tyler Hansbrough A hustle guy known for his ability to dive for loose balls, win boxout battles and strip rebounds from opponents. A small attribute boost is given to Speed and Quickness during loose ball dives to display the effort these players usually give. During boxout battles and moves, a Scrapper will be given up to a 50% increase in the boxout win chance. For rebounds, a Scrapper has a 50% increase in the chance of poking the ball loose from an opponent who has already grabbed a rebound.

It's these mentions that REALLY caught my eye. Will there be actual boxing out from the AI? And will it happen realistically? As in, not at the friggin' 3pt line? And pocking the ball loose? Is this something different from regular steals?

Color me intrigued.

If someone already mentioned this, I apologize for not reading through every page but, are we cool with this:

Closer
This player raises his game in clutch moments. For the last 40% of a fourth quarter and all overtimes, a Closer receives the following perks:

1. Attribute boosts of up to 12 attribute points

I'm not a big fan of artificial attribute boosts.

If you get your shot smacked inside or out... Your confidence is gonna drop so i dont see how u feel it makes no sense to lose some shooting rating there. Anybody that knows ball knows shooting and confidence go hand in hand.
