If Meeks has any defensive sig skill then you know the person who does the ratings for 2k has no clue about basketball, along with being a Lakers homer,lol. Come to think of it ever Laker player defensive rating should go down with the clown they call a coach coaching them.

Since rosters look like a complete mess once again this year...what about 2k just dropping the "insider" routine? It's pretty clear to me that he simply can't be real. There are competent guys working for 2k, and they wanna make us believe that you get paid by a company for such a p*ss poor job? Not buying it. Maybe rosters are done by interns or some graphics dude after he finished adding new shoes. But no way somebody gets actually paid for creating this clusterf*ck with a full time job.

I can't believe that one guy said ROY HIBBERT was a top 2 center in the league LOLOLOL, he barely makes the top 10! We're talking about a 7'2 center who has a career average 6.8 rebounds and has yet to pull down over 10 TRB in his career, and he was also the worst finisher at the rim! (7'2 and his game is strictly supposed to be a low-post center http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2013/0711/grant_r_WorstShooters_NBA.jpg ). Just because he looked mighty to a dwarfed Heat frontcourt shouldn't fool you. He's a good rim protector and that's it, dude was only an All-Star in 2012 due to Al Horford needing shoulder surgery.

Yeah, John Wall had Emeka Okafor, Nene, Martell Webster, and Bradley Beal compared to Tyler Zeller, Tristin Thompson, Alonzo Gee, and Dion Waiters....you mean to tell me Wall doesn't easily have a better starting lineup? Kyrie also had Byron Scott telling him to score, because it was their only chance of winning, after Kyrie dropped 18-9 on the Jazz, Coach Scott said Kyrie needed to be more aggressive, and KI replied back with "you don't have to tell me twice." Byron Scott said this twice, once Kyrie's rookie season (http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2012/03/kyrie_irving_likes_his_dimes_b.html) and last season (http://www.morningjournal.com/general-news/20130127/kyrie-irving-takes-byron-scotts-advice-to-be-more-aggressive)

Hibbert is shooting as good/bad around the rim as Melo, who got the "finisher" skill for being the worst volume scoring superstar in terms of shooting% around the basket.

# 67 Gramps91 @ 09/29/13 02:13 PM

Most of these sound pretty nice. I really like Signature Skills.

Not so sure Chris Paul should have lost alley-ooper though.

Obviously you must not follow the NBA all that close if this is what you think. Now I dont think as of right now I would put Hibbert in the top 2, but he is 1 of the better C in the game, remember the C position is weak now days and there isnt any real good C in the game today that could make it in the past era's. Hibbert had a hand injury that he had issues with for a good part of the season last year, and not even the Pacers knew about it until he finally told them. Once he got that healed up his offensive game took off. Also it just wasnt the Heat he dominated, he dominated in every playoff series. Tysom Chandler considered one of the best defensive C's in the game and Hibbert made him and the Knicks look like fools. So it wasnt just a finesse team like the Heat that Hibbert beat up on.

The series where he only had 3 games in double figures against Tyson? or even against atl where he barely shot 47%.minus beasting the smallest frontcourt in the league nothing really stands out, he's one of the best C's in the league but his offense is massively overrated. He's a 7'2 Center who's never cracked 50% shooting.

And 2k messing up sig skills nothing new there. Been a complete mess since the release of 2k13 just like roster tendencies and what not.

# 70 capitolrf @ 09/29/13 02:51 PM

Don't like that Nene & Okafor lost there Bruiser Sigs. Two legitimate, solidly-built big men are an imposing presence to attempt to score on. They anchored the defense for the Wizards this year. Both stand in the 6�10 � 6�11 range, weigh between 250-260 lbs. While shorter,lighter guys kept there's who nearly don't bang in the paint as much.

# 71 Rensational14 @ 09/29/13 02:58 PM

With all the new skills added, its dreadful that there's still a limitation to 5 skills for players.

I'm a NBA fanatic and I'm well aware of Hibbert's wrist, which plagued him for half of the season, but it's still inexcusable for a SEVEN FOOT TWO center to finish that terrible at the rim and not dominate the glass. And the 5 isn't as bad as the media keeps regurgitating, the SG position is easily the worst position in the L. You have Tim Duncan (don't need to hear it, he's a center), Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Joakim Noah, Tyson Chandler, Brook Lopez, DeMarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond on the mend, and etc are pretty good centers. I'm tired of hearing "they'd never match with the 90's centers" from casual fans like yourself, we'll no duh, it's considered the great generation of centers for a reason, but stop living in the past and realize that the NBA is a perimeter oriented game now.

BTW Chandler was hurt in the playoffs

I dont always look at scoring as to how a guy dominates a game, take Roy away we might not beat the Knicks, He had Chandler frustrated and tick off quite a bit from what I remember.
2k always has ratings messed up, and its obvious sig skills isnt any better than ratings, thankfully we can remove sig skills this year. Its obvious that there is not a lot of knowledge in the people who do ratings for 2k

Back to Roy, I do think he has to show up during the season to prove himself this year, as he has never been consistent offensively or rebounding. Sometimes I think if Roy isnt involved early in the game offensively he kind of disappears, when they go to him early to get him going then he usually fairs well.

# 75 JJRuelz @ 09/29/13 04:12 PM

lebron has his sig skill i believe 4th quarter specialist is removed

# 76 arimamba @ 09/29/13 04:14 PM

i was reading this on my phone at like 3 am and i was cracking up... lol 2K HAS to be trolling right?

Well CP3 has enough skills that are more important that alley-ooper.

He can just be given a high, "Throw Oop" tendency and call it a day.

I think some of us forget there are ratings/tendencies still in the game. Everyone that does something better than average doesn't need a damn skill

oh don't get me wrong I agree if you take him off you guys don't get past the Knicks and as a defensive anchor he's one of the best in the league, in every aspect outside of scoring he's great. But just as a scorer he's very underwhelming.

As far as sig skills - Does anyone think players who haven't played in the league yet(Rookies/Euroleague players) and players who haven't played in a long time should have a sig skill? We don't know any of the skills or how well those skills will translate to the league or for players that haven't played in a long time if they still have certain skills.

They are added dynamically anyway in association. Should be earned by performing against NBA competition.
