NBA 2K13 News Post


The advent of Signature Skills in NBA 2K13 heralds a shift in approach for the NBA 2K series that could have a profound effect on the way people play the game. The system promises to make players whose games are more unorthodox stand out, from the sweet-shooting, terror-on-the-glass approach of Kevin Love to the all-grit, all-grind defense of Tony Allen to the corner-3-carpet-bombing of Ray Allen and Jason Terry. But are we just going to pretend players only have positive traits?

After all, if what 2K Sports is after is a more realistic, nuanced simulation of players’ quirks and individual games, surely they need to look at including a counterweight to players’ good tendencies with something like Signature Flaws.

Here’s a look at a couple of tongue-in-cheek ideas for such a system.

I Would enjoy this idea very much, all of them really but The big takeover. That's taking too much control from players.

That actually has some good ideas in it that should be implemented in 2k14. I would love to see a "choke artist" one added for guys who are bad free throw shooters down the stretch. Even if you have a perfect release, he may miss it.

Yeah. Just want they need. A feature that ALIENATES the players. Good business move..
 
# 6 BezO @ 09/28/12 03:58 PM
Brilliant!
 
# 7 scatman @ 09/28/12 03:59 PM
Lol funny...but interesting. The semi seriousness of this is actually intriguing. Doubt 2K would ever go for it, but it'd be interesting to say the least.
 
# 8 SwaggerCoach @ 09/28/12 04:00 PM
The Loose Cannon attribute is hysterical....
 
# 9 Theyhateme459 @ 09/28/12 04:00 PM
Great idea! But I don't know if the nba players association will go for this at all.

There should be a "Black Hole" Signature Flaw, where you have to mash the pass button repeatedly to get it out of certain players hands.

Edit: Just now read the "Big Takeover" one...lol
 
# 11 CKW11 @ 09/28/12 04:04 PM
I actually like the 'Lose Cannon' idea.
 
# 12 madmax17 @ 09/28/12 04:05 PM
LOVE it

Hostage Crisis lmao
 
# 13 DubTrey1 @ 09/28/12 04:14 PM
These are great. Kevin Martin, Screen door - this one has your name all on it. How about "Disappears in Big Games" ... there are some guys that go into witness relo when it comes down to crunch time etc.

Nice topic.
Clueless - Kwame Brown (He just looks lost out there on the floor on offense & defense. Very low IQ)
Iron Mittens (Small Hands) - Kwame Brown (Can't catch a pass, but sometimes he gets lucky)
Runaway Train - Jared Jeffries (Gets called for charging on fast-breaks consistently)
 
# 15 BRxSKINSx @ 09/28/12 04:19 PM
LMAO.... The BIG Takeover is the VERY Funny .... Loose Cannon was a close second.....
 
# 16 RocketTMac1 @ 09/28/12 04:20 PM
I wouldn't mind that. Although my Bobcats would probably lead the league in those sig skills lol
 
# 17 Vni @ 09/28/12 04:31 PM
I wonder how the NBA players would feel about that.

I like the idea though.
 
# 18 Gramps91 @ 09/28/12 04:35 PM
lol Practice?
We're talkin 'bout Practice!
 
# 19 Sigma4Life @ 09/28/12 04:40 PM
The Big Takeover is my fav by far! It's also the most realistic. LOL
 
# 20 scottyp180 @ 09/28/12 04:41 PM
As humerus a this article is I actual think it's a pretty good idea to have a signature flaw/inability feature that can't be addressed simply with ratings. Such as players who will just go cold or buckle in pressure situations. maybe a ball hog one (similar to the big take over idea) for players who will either demand the ball a lot or force unnecessary shots (Westbrook), although it would be tough to implement this for a CPU controlled player. Something I think they need is for players who often argue with refs and get Ts like Perkins or Rasheed wallace (even tho he's no longer in the league)
