He did? I feel honored. He is listening to my tweets.

Oh snap! He gave Roy Hibbert the Defensive Anchor signature skill! The Pacers are an elite defensive team now (minus the poor games against the Lakers and Heat)!

I noticed. I played three games online thus far, and it's night and day difference to how the Pacers play defense now. In reality, the inclusion of the signature skill kinda p*ssed me off about the game when it comes to defense. I expected that the AI would be "smarter" on defense, shot contesting would increase, and I would have a higher chance of forcing turnovers. What I wasn't expecting was the increase in rebounds (Hibbert is averaging 5+ RPG), less sliding when playing on the ball defense, and NEW animations underneath the rim.

The first point could be a mere result of the more aggressive defense which is equating to better boxing out, so I'm going to watch that more closely in future games. However....less sliding while playing on-the-ball defense...new animations???? That's some bullsh*t that the only way I can play "good" defense was for one of my players to have the Defensive Anchor signature skill. There was a couple of times where I thought to myself...the defense feels more like NBA 2K11.

Defense in the game has been way better since the roster updates , more blocking and rebounding

don't get used to it....next roster update it's going to end up offensive heavy again...

I've noticed when things are going right it usually reverts back in the next roster update....
