New Signature Skills For NBA 2K14

Signature Skills were introduced in NBA 2K13 providing more differentiation between players with unique definition of abilities. Thirty-one signature skills were featured though the “Acrobat” skill was later removed in a roster update to accommodate an online tournament after a flaw was discovered allowing for Euro Step three pointers to be exploited.

In NBA 2K14, there will be seven new signature skills which will debut in this years title.  Remember, for those of you that are wanting to pre-order NBA 2K14, one of the signature skills will be exclusive to the King James bonus pack.  You guessed it, the signature skill is that of LeBron James.

Here is full list of the new skills and a brief description of them.

Pick & Roll Maestro
