2K 13 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.



So based off what they said they took away all the rebounding effects so the scrapper will get a boost to speed and quickness for loose balls and probably poking balls away.

Seems unrealistic to me!
I can understand maybe 2 points max increase but 6, SMDH at 2K.

WOW I can't believe 2k!

7 new Sig Skills introduced and not one of them is a defensive skill! But they sure went ahead and added 2 of the same skills to encourage more cherry picking and fast breaking.

No defensive skill that raises your defensive abilities in the 4th quarter but we have 2 offensive skills that do that SMH! 2k14 is gonna be another cheese fest smdh.

No.

And they've balanced out all the previous signature skills returning from last year when I spoke with the dev's.

Well, Pick Dodger is defensive and the Rebounder skill isn't just offensive. But I hear what you're saying. I would like to have seen more defensive skills.

I hate signature skills. the only way I can justify have sig skills is if they significantly lower the offense effectiveness to a realistic setting so you really can distinguish the difference between guys with sig skills and guys without sig skills.

Why have posterizer when most players can dunk in traffic with no problem?
Why have an oop sig skill when almost everyone can throw from damn near half court?
Why have finisher sig skill when guys like reggie evans can finish in traffic layups even though he struggles to make point blank layups in real life.

Adding sig skills without lowering the overall effectiveness of the offense just gives guys superman like abilities.
