NBA 2K13: Building a Team Around Signature Skills

12:33 PM - October 22, 2012 by RaychelSnr

I have a dirty secret: I love Steve Novak.

Don’t get me wrong: I love Kevin Durant and LeBron James, too, and they’re an absolute joy to play with in NBA2K13, but the developers weren’t kidding when they said that Signature Skills would do a lot to highlight the end of your bench. And there’s humble little Steve Novak, a 53 overall, draining corner 3s for me and bailing me out. In addition to making role players better at, well, playing a role, Sig Skills have also made it possible to build a team more distinctly. The game hasn’t been out very long, so it’s still a little early to tell exactly how all the new Sig Skills are going to mesh with each other, but it should suffice to say that building your Association team from the ground up in a fantasy draft is a much different thing this year.

Great read. Signature Skills are an awesome addition to the 2k series. Courtney Lee is so valuable especially on the Celtics. Spot Up and Corner Specialist on offense while intercepter on defense. I feel like having the dimer and floor general skills are incredibly helpful.

jared cunningham that dude is just god 93 dunk and runs point well i dunno if he has a sig skill but hes a monster

Kris Humphries. Garbage man signature skill and bruiser (i think) and he crushes it on the boards.

Nuggets really are nasty this year with Andre Miller coming off the bench as a floor general.

Knicks have the same luxury with JKidd.

These guys keep the points flowing with the 2nd unit.

He's dead on about Anthony Morrow. I picked him up as a throw in, in a trade I made in my Warriors association. All it takes is 2 made shots in a row and he's on fire. In a regular season game against the Clippers. He pretty much single-handedly brought my team back from 14 points down with 2 mins left in the 4th quarter (he ended up hitting a last second three to send the game into overtime, which I ended winning). The dude is money from anywhere outside of 15 feet.

Can players develop sig skillls over time in Association?...What are the requirements for Lockdown Defender?

# 8 ai2k2 @ 10/23/12 05:09 PM

Ray. Allen.

Kris Humphries kills me with the garbage man skill all the time. Beast.

Gilbert arenas best player available in the free agency he gets the job done if use him as the 6th man he averages 14 points 6 assists on my association mode

# 11 Rewmac @ 10/24/12 06:24 PM

Marcus Thornton. Of course edited to be like he actually was last year. He is critical in the 4th quarter.

# 12 Schibling @ 10/24/12 08:27 PM

I love Royce white

# 13 AC @ 10/24/12 11:17 PM

Gotta love Anthony Morrow.

See, I almost signed him in my Bobcats Association but I thought he would cost too much so signed DFish (we wont be resigning him

).

DFish is serviceable backup PG but I shouldve spent the extra dough on Agent 0.

Javale Mcgee is a BEAST!!! also has great potential. So does Jae Crowder! My Boyz!

# 16 13whitebread @ 12/01/12 10:22 PM

Great read

# 17 HighCmpPct @ 01/26/13 01:54 AM

Yeah running my Nuggets association, pairing the slicing PG Lawson with Iggy, and Gallinari who can knock down threes, or Andre Miller with Faried and Mcgee slamming it inside is CRAZY fun!!
