Will blocking shots be improved in 2K16?

[ATLBrayden]

In NBA 2K15 it was nearly impossible to block a shot in the air, the occurrence was extremely rare and didn't happen as often as it should especially for elite shot blockers. It's also pretty much impossible to block a shot from behind unless it's a dunk.

We also see (although rare) guys like LeBron James and Blake Griffin performing blocks while already in the air and 180 blocks, it would be nice to see something like this every now and then in the game. In NBA 2K15 it seems that once you jump to block a shot you are helpless and must wait for the animation to finish.

Doing things like pinning lay-ups against the glass (which is a common thing LeBron does) is never really seen, the only truly blockable shots from behind were ****-back dunks.

Here's a collection of some block videos, showcasing blocks we don't really see:

This is probably one of the biggest things I want changed too. So tired of seeing the "elbow blocks" where you block someone with an elbow or forearm instead of the hand. Hopefully this is addressed and we can see more realistic blocking in 2k16.

I feel like this would assist the defense in online play as well as offline, as of now the defense has one block animation and that's to jump in the air and swat a single arm. To help counter zig zagging and ridiculous shots the defense needs more mechanics and animations to work with.

I really hope ball tracking is back. My player would jump himself out of the play sometimes.

We've talked about this all year, haha

Hopefully they've heard us...

It's arguably 2K15's weakest part for gameplay. Even if you do connect on a great block, often it barely changes the trajectory of the ball regardless of the force of the block, which just looks weird. The blocker's hand absolutely needs to be tracking to the ball. Half the time the ball goes right through hands on blocks as well.

Probably would have heard something by now if it was being overhauled significantly?

No one knows. Hopefully it is.
