^ I would say add in your finisher skill for the shot creator one off my list.. Just my opinion though

Wouldn't that be better represented with tendancies though?

No because Chris is one of if not the best ooper in the league. Tendencies don't affect success rate.

Paul will be a Closer for sure. He's one of the most clutch players in the game. It's really the only time he looks for his shot.

Oh, and a lot of players jab step and try to create space on their shot, but that doesn't make them good at it to the point they should have the Shot Creator signature skill. Wade, Kobe, Rose, Pierce etc, those guys are elite space makers that result in higher percentage of makes. Amare may try to do it from time to time, but he's not elite at it by any means. Athletic or not, Amare is a prototypical stand still jump shooter.

He actually looked very good with the Knicks before Melo arrived and his "shot creating" post repertoire could be much improved after working with Hakeem.

Hmm I guess there is a chance they give him that. Bosh/Aldridge will have it as well then. I guess anyone that uses a jab step on jump shots can have it.

^ I didn't mean that I would give Amar'e the shot creator skill... The guy a few posts back said he already had it, so I was just trying to justify 2Ks reason for giving it to him

Good point.. When watching the newly released game play videos I saw a few missed oops.. Maybe players with the oop skill have a greater ability of the play succeeding.. Tendancies wouldn't increase the chances of the play working, just the number of times it was attempted.. Who knows, I just hope when the game comes out the skills haven't been over used..
