Bulls had the best record in the NBA with Rose missing more than a THIRD of the season..

Defense, defense, defense.. Not D. Rose, D. Rose, D. Rose

Agreed, I can defend the cpu well right now and follow the player. Just don't hope it will feel like an online game where my defenders react way too slow all the time.

i like the design of these player attribute screens...better than the gold scroll crap that is on the overlays in-game.

That being the case, I can understand the argument for D Rose not deserving the Floor General Signature Skill. I believe its editable though, which is good.

Glad to see you guys talking about this. FULL Signature Skill reveal tomorrow.

For all those who are not happy with the Signature Skills, I'm pretty sure you can edit them yourselves and change/substitute them...

if I'm not mistaken there was a skill called dimer that Lebron, CP3, and Nash has drose doesnt have that one, but there has to be something more to what these skills actuall do, they said the floor general increases the offensive awareness of other players so maybe they will have a better I.Q as to where to be and run plays better or something. As for

Closer: I think it should just put the ball in the closers hand and plays should be called for that player and let their ratings do the rest not make them do anything outside of their ratings.

............ WTF are these skills even doing? Are they increasing ratings, are they tendencies, this stuff is starting to get confusing as to how they are trying to integrate these together. I just hope they do exactly what they say they do because the tendencies were already kind of jacked and we had a big enough problem with them. Good luck to roster makers trying to figure this one out

These signature skill lables might turn into cheese tactics sorry to say. The cyckle will be start all over again with how 2k8 turned into 2k9...and 2k10 turned into 2k11...and so on...history tell us this

I just hope it implements well for the offline experience...period

I agree their defense is on another level. Their defense keeps teams shooting low but defense alone will not get you far in the playoffs without a dominant scorer. You eventually need some offense.

And they would've an even better record if Rose never got hurt. The Bulls were 18-9 without Rose, and 32-7 with him. Yeah, the Bulls were just as good without him.

What about Rubio?

I'm starting to think its not for the cpu in the sense of making players play real life like I thought. I think its all user strategy now, hopefully tendencies work right and they added a few more, and I hope they got rid of the scale type tendencies and just separate them

# 54 da ThRONe @ 09/01/12 06:41 PM

I don't get how Rose fail to get "finisher" he may be the games best right there with Wade and James.

Speaking of James he should have pretty much all of these signatures. I understand why they limit the amount one player can have I just don't agree with it.

Same could be said for Dwight Howard in Orlando. Is he going to be a Floor General too?

True, but that was do to Dwight's presence in the middle. Not his ability to create offense and set his teammates up for easy looks. Dwight is actually a poor passer, especially out of double teams, while Rose is a quality PG. He would probably average better assists on a more offensively gear team, but still manages around 7-8 a night.

Get this man in a shower and some new clothes because clearly he's been living under a rock during the past 3 years!!! I can see your vision now.. Your dude is gonna have all 30 signature skills unlocked, you're gonna have pink shoes on, you'll be 7'5, you're gonna pro hop then pump fake your way to the Allstar game then once you've had your fil offline, you're bring that monkey sized primate online to show us how skilled you are.... I'll pass!!!

I don't care with other people do with their games. I don't like unnecessary limits.

Absolutely.

Also, it seems like a whole lot of guys will have 5 Sig Skills and that 5 max limitation actually could cause there to be less differentiation between players.

For Wade I would say Rim Protector (pound for pound may be the GOAT shotblocker, that goes for all positions) Finisher/Acrobat (I think Finisher would be better since he finishes with stregnth and athleticism) Crossover (has the most crossover highlights in the NBA over the last decade) Its kinda hard to decide the rest cause dude does everything, what else could he have????

Exactly. Limiting the players to X amount of signatures is less sim than unlimited signatures.

That would make it better in my opinion. Don't forget about Legends though.
