Really disgusted about the Ankle Breaker sig skill. Falling? Seriously 2K? How immature can we be? I won't give that signature skill to anyone on my custom rosters. Childish.

Start up an association.I hope they can let us add Legends to Association mode like in 2K11.
Much more complicated to do in 12 ...
How do you do it in 12??
Turn "Customize league" (or whatever it's called) on, and replace a team with the team that the legend you want is on. So, if you want to play with Orlando Shaq, replace the Bobcats with that Penny/Shaq Orlando squad.
Pick that team, and then export the team.
Quit the association, then go to load -> then go to the team name you exported it under.
Then trade/assign Shaq to whichever team you want him to be on.
Save the roster.
Done.
I got bored with My Player & I loaded up teams with a bunch of legends. I put Magic on the Heat, Payton MJ Scottie & Hakeem in Charlotte, & Nique & David Robinson on the Celtics. It's fun. Try it.
Any news of the '00 - '01 Lakers?
Also, '99 - '00 Pacers should also be on there.
I doubt memory is an issue anywhere outside of the 3D In-Game Engine. Therefore we're talking about 24 players in the engine with boolean values (signature skills) instead of integers (abilities) or floating point numbers (attributes or tendencies).
The most obvious answer is usually the right answer. Signature Skills were a design decision since the change/addition required resources to be spent on both the game UI and game engine.
Some of us believe that it was a poor design decision and I personally agree with most of what RyanFitzmagic has said despite his somewhat over the top tone about the issue. It's a dumbed down version of what we already had and from everything we've heard so far there are only two parties that would benefit from the move: 1) casual gamers and 2) "The 2K Insider".
The additional animations that were added to correspond with Signature Skills could have also been linked to thresholds in Attributes, Abilities, or Tendencies.
It's the exact opposite of a semantics debate. I'll make this as simple as possible with the following scenario:
Signature Skills = Boolean/Binary, 2 total options, 0 and 1
If 2K announced that every player in the game would have a Speed rating of either 25 or 99, then would that be an acceptable response to the Speed problems in 2K12? Of course it wouldn't, but that's exactly the same as what was done with some of these Skills.
The only difference between the above example and what was done with SOME (not ALL) of the Signature Skills is that most gamers don't care enough to look into the details of how the game of basketball is being played and only care about the surface-level visuals and controls.
Some of the Skills are indeed very useful based on what information we've received. Acrobat is a great addition that couldn't be accounted for previously. Chase Down Blocker is another. Out of the 20 or so skills that we know about right now, most of them could already have been reproduced in 2K12 and the options to create differentiation between players were far greater.
Trying to create a simulation of a sport requires millions of options and variations and we've just had variation go from 74+ to 2 in some of these areas of the sport. It's not a good thing for the simulation basketball crowd in my opinion.
Why would they take Magic out?2k needs, like, a bare bones mode. No aids
expound....Those of you who aren't lazy and willing to put a little work in, here's a chance to get 2k for $34.

omg that sig skills sounds stupid as hell. why do they have to add that dumb junk, just tweak the glitches and add more teams and better gear and i'll be a happy camper.
i can see it now dudes gonna be cheesing heavy with that poster and ankle breaker ish smh.
Ooooooh I gotcha....^
No, but plenty of other places do and these places also have NCAA for 59.99.
These places also offer instore credits for the current price on returns without receipt.
