Yup. Where Nash excels is the fact that he's less likely to throw a bad pass in the sense that the spot up shooter would have to make a difficult catch, like the one you describe.

The key, as in previous iterations will be to play team ball, utilizing every attribute, individual category rating, and now signature skill of each player to overwhelm the ill informed pick up and play casual user. And if you're fortunate enough to play like minded sim players in leagues or OAs, the ensuing chess match and team building will be epic to say the least. If anything the addition of these sig skills will force people to adapt to the strengths of their players and teams or risk being blown out by a dedicated user who has mastered their teams inside out; yes that includes a dedicated bobcats user!.

agreed. gonna be a little easier to run the heat and lakers with my kings this year. lovin this news. I am a little worried about the steal signature skill, it gets real annoying when other users spam the steal button. hope this is implemented well

LeBron can have around 27 of those skills, will he actually get them?

this is a great point.

No, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I've never played basketball in my life. I'm just an all-around dickhead.

Right, guys?

Then wouldn't that suggest that receiving a good pass from a good passer raises shot percentages based on the shooters position on the court AND the actual pass itself?

Point is this : Getting a pass from a good player does raise the percentages based on who the passer is most of the time. I used an extreme example sure, but there must be some accuracy discrepancies between a dime from steve nash, and a dime from Jameer Nelson. Nash's receiver is in a more comfortable position to shoot the shot the way he's shot it for his whole life thus making his %age higher.

Of course thats not to say Jameer can't drop a perfect dime.

This all depends on whats going on under the hood of 2k. I've always felt like, if one of my players catches a pass and bobbles it or at least doesn't catch it in a ready to shoot stance, their %age to make the shot is decreased. On the other hand if a great rated passer nails his target perfectly, that shot has an increased %age of going in. This Sig Skill just emphasizes the absolute best of the best so there's a difference between Jose Calderon's 90+ pass rating and Rondo's 90+ pass rating that can't be realistically, or for gameplay balance purposes, implemented through stat slider boosting.

Stat is a Man-Child, even if its not in his tendencies to bang that much anymore he still possesses the ability to get muscley.

Also: When an Eraser swats a shot, he boosts the energy of his teammates and decreases the shooting attributes (up to six points) of the player he blocked for up to a minute and a half. How does this make sense? What's this trying to replicate, a player getting dejected by having his shot blocked? That doesn't happen-- these are the best basketball players in the known universe. They don't get rattled like that. It should just be up to the user to know that he has to be wary of the shot-blocker inside and adjust accordingly. Shot-blockers don't make players miss jumpers.

Well...in a sense they do if in fact the defender that blocked the shot is guarding them or is in his area. a shot blocker can adjust shots just with his presence. now i do agree that a players shot shouldn't decrease if the shot blocker isnt in the area
