Signature skills have always been an integral part of the NBA franchise, and it is good to see that they have drastically improved in NBA 2K14. A few changes regarding certain skills have been featured, along with the introduction of new Signature Skills.
This guide highlights the top 6 best defense and offense signature skills in NBA 2k14 that you need to get immediately to improve your gaming experience and guarantee dunks.
Ankle Breaker
This great ball-handler skill increases your chance of making your defender stumble with your dribble moves. Once you equip the skill, you get a 30% increase in forcing ankle-breaking defensive falls, stumbles, and recoveries. This means you have a good chance of putting opponents to shame.
You need to know that this skill needs to be paired with another inside skill, like Dimer, to remove the badge’s shortcomings and make it work. This is a good badge for smart players to get easy points.
Post Proficiency
This badge works best on players with a high offensive skill level when performing moves and shots in the post. Post-shot percentage increases to 5%, moves are more effective, and defenders fall for pump fakes up to 50% more often.
Post Proficiency makes it easier for you to take shots. This might not be the flashiest way, but it does guarantee a dunk. Reasons why you should get this badge are (i) it lands even the toughest post shots like hooks, (ii) it creates an opening for a clean scoreway, and (ii) your post-ups will equal 2 points, making an easy foul on opposing player.
Posterizer
This is a neat way of getting Contact Dunks animations versus contact layups. This player must have an energy level of 80 or higher, and once the dunk is completed, his teammates are given a small energy boost.
Once you get the badge, you will have the chance to finish dunks more frequently and consistently. But remember that this works in situations like 10A and 10b with the same strengths and weaknesses requiring 80% or higher stamina. Once the dunks succeed, the entire team has a 5% stamina boost. This badge works best with Finisher.
Catch and Shoot
Equipping a player with this badge knocks down shooters while throwing off a catch. When shooting a jumper immediately after a catch, 12 feet or further from the hoop, the penalty for bad timing is decreased by up to 50%.
This badge nerfed shooting in NBA 2k14 makes any outside shot, even from midrange, dunk easily. So, if you have lousy timing, you can still take perfect shots.
Deadeye
A shooter who is barely affected by late-arriving defenders. The typical penalty enforced by the defense on the release of the shot, as opposed to the defense on the start of the shot, is reduced up to 100%.
This is the best badge for jump shots and a good support badge for any build, making the player dominant for scoring.
Finisher
A player adept at finishing contact layups and dunks. The host penalty for contacting a defender is decreased by up to 25%.
This offensive badge nerfed shooting, making you dunk with ease. The best thing is that even if you’re in early levels, you can still get the skill and make contact dunks and layups easier, increasing your chances of scoring.
