People believe nonsense like this.

They already have finisher/acrobat, so why do they need to be even more deadly? They're already quick. I don't see the point.

This applies to pretty much every sig skill.

Just wondering...will there be pre-order bonuses for next-gen consoles as well?

I love signature skills in NBA2K. Something that was adopted many years ago in Pro Evolution Soccer with the Player Skill Cards. Adds a whole new dimension of individuality. Which is what sports games are all about in the end. Otherwise you get EA generic crap: every player moves and plays exactly the same.

I hope Will Bynum gets Pick & Roll Maestro, and Andre Drummond gets Screen Outlet/Tenacious Rebounder





edit: One Man Fastbreak for Stuckey too. though he sucks once it comes time to finish it

overall, I'd rather see the skills done in the manner you described. but at least with this particular issue, I think the boost will accomplish what you're looking for.


There's naturally gonna be a penalty for moving, being defended, etc. Whether the skill "mitigates it", or uses a "boost to counter it", we basically end up at the same spot either way. It just seems like a matter of wording to me.

I would love a charge taker signature skill.

Charge Card
Example Players: Udonis Haslem, Raja Bell, Kyle Lowry
This player specializes in the art of drawing charges. When attempting to take a charge, a player equipped with the Charge Card skill will have a 50% better chance of drawing the charge than others. His teammates will also receive a small energy boost if the Charge Card player receives the beneficial call.
