NBA 2K14 - What the 2K Team-Up Members Thought of the New Blocking System

[Vni]

Let's not forget where EA where at just a year ago with Live... A product that looked 10 years old. How could you be excited that you can block dunks when you have no idea how the rest of the game will play? We know nothing about live except that Bouncetek looks cool. Wee.

The fact is the devs listened and followed through but of course its instant fanboy reaction because Live mentioned it first....smh

after second thought, we should me more relieved than excited since 2k13 was a defensive blunder.

Lebron does it all the time. If Darren Collison has the n**s to try and dunk on Hibbert it should get sent back all game. Plus, people coming from 2k13 are so used to dunking without a consequence. If your good you can send them a message. I know I don't have a problem with it. I got game. Now, if the cheese is fixed greatly with SOLID non sliding D, i'll be a happy man..... Please no spin gather/ layups.... please......

You will probably still be able to change your shot mid air, like you can this year too. Will make that feature that more prominent top when you know you actually can get blocked.

Man, I hope they weakened that spin dunk. Less than 10 of those happen PER YEAR in the NBA, total.

It's not impossible at all. ALL (good) games are built upon counters for doing the same thing repeatedly. This is the foundation of all game design.

If a move is overpowered (like the spin move is), it should be toned down. It should be as difficult to trigger as it is to be in the right position with the right footwork in real life. It should require proper spacing. It should fail when the defense anticipates it and counters with good positioning and forces contact. It should only work when the defense reacts incorrectly or not at all. It should NOT slide defenders out of the way and be easy to trigger with no counter.

In a sim game, if a move is overpowered, the first thing you do is analyze why this doesn't happen in the sport/activity it's trying to simulate, and incorporate the same advantages, disadvantages, challenges and difficulties into the game.

Players will always do what's most effective. It's up to the game design to make sure smart, realistic play is the most effective and a better tactic than overpowered move spamming.

Gotta love how 2K is turning into the dreaded EA. taking out features and putting them back in, hype words and being content without competition
