I'm not saying that Deron needs to be rated higher than them all.. But he needs to at least be equal with Rose if not higher... And as for "winning" Rondo is the only player of them all who as actually won anything with large playoff success..

Yeah I think that's right

Signature Skills are

Chris Paul- Floor General, Alley ooper, Dimer, Pick Pocketer, Closer

Amare Stoudemire- Posterizer, Finisher, Shot Creator

Austin Rivers- Ankle Breaker

Amare is not a finisher or posterizer anymore. I hope these skills are fully editable

Shot creator for Amare??? I think the number of PF's that will have the shot creator skill will be slim. The shot creator is basically a shot of a dribble skill. Amare is a face up jump shooter but the shot creator does not fit him IMO. The only one I can see right now that is a PF is Dirk and that is it. Can't see it for Amare, he probably shouldn't even have posterizer. I think he will have finisher and that is it. Also remember just because he doesn't have posterizer as a sig skill does not mean you can't do what the sig skill says.

Austin Rivers 67? I'm not sure if that means he won't be any good cuz I thought he'd be a lot better IMO

# 167 ojandpizza @ 09/10/12 03:59 AM

Maybe they also give shot creator to guys who can make their own looks off of post moves and not just off the dribble.. If so I can see Amar'e with this, not as much last season but when looking back over his career.. 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.

Yeah, Shot Creator is really stretching it for Amare. I don't see it; it's just not his game. Never has been. He's not Dwayne Wade, folks. Even if he gets a bunch of great post moves from working with Hakeem, he still won't be that type of player. Hakeem wasn't even that type of player. There's a sig skill for post offense; Shot Creator is something else entirely.

In the shot creator description it includes creating shots out of the triple threat.. Which if Amar'e were to catch the ball somewhere in the high post area face toward his defender and make a move, as he often does putting the ball on the floor and either crossing over or going into a spin move to create a shot, then I could see him with this skill..

You can see what I'm talking about here:

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with him having this skill, I'm just trying to justify why 2K would have given it to him.

# 170 iLLosophy @ 09/10/12 06:13 AM

Except the only shots the video that follow the last rule of shot creator were the dunks/layups. Blake griffin was there on the rest of the shots he just wan't playing with any intensity, and amare was still 90+ amare.

And Chris Paul is one of the guys who could arguably have like 10 sig shot abilities, if they waste one them for something as trivial as alley ooper, we are going to have to plan a intervention for 2k insider.

# 171 ojandpizza @ 09/10/12 07:32 AM

^ I think CP needs alley ooper, fits perfect with his teams play style

He will have a 90+ pass rating and he already has dimer, why would you want to give him another passing SS when there are other areas of his game that could addressed? I can easily make a case for him to get Deadeye, Shot Creator, Interceptor, or even Ankle Breaker (another one which would be a wasted slot)

# 174 ojandpizza @ 09/10/12 01:43 PM

^ I see him with dimer, alley ooper, floor general, pick pocket, MAYBE shot creator..

I think the skills will be used more sparingly and not just given out to whoever can do this or that. Since Paul isn't always looking to create a shot like guys Wade, Ellis, Kobe and isn't often looking to break ankles like Evans, Crawford I don't see him having those.. I think they are only going to be used to make players play as they do in real life, meaning they will use players every game tendencies and habits..

That's just my opinion though, I just don't want to see these skills over used, to me that would make them far less effective.

Again not trying to say Paul can't break ankles or create his shots I'm just saying its not really his play style to use those continually over the game

But what I'm saying is - Paul has a high Pass attribute to begin with. If he's not Maxed out, he will be as close as you can get. What benefit does it serve giving him a boost in pass attribute specifically for Alley Oop's when he's already Maxed out that attribute?

And he definitely deserves Finisher. The stats don't lie about that one.

Shot creator involves creating space for yourself, not only off the dribble but also jab steps in triple threat position which amare does and why he's a mismatch for slower bigman.

Just because that's the Clippers game plan. They probably through more oops than any team in the league.. It just brings authenticity

# 178 ojandpizza @ 09/10/12 07:24 PM

^ 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?

# 180 Belly_of_a_Whale @ 09/10/12 10:57 PM

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.
