ive played against some skilled players that can contest shots easily while playing on ball defense. Its a skill that not everyone can do and it takes ALOT of practice . I was forced to learn this in 2k7 and it works great and easier in 2k9. The key is knowing your oppenents players shot releases and looking for little animations they do before their feet leave the ground. Its a skill that only great on ball defenders possess. From playing the DC it works even better in the paint during post moves. Play the ALL AMERICAN TRAINING in CH2k8 it will let you practice contesting shots all day.

looks as though people that are excellent at on ball D and shot contest timing will dominate this game

co-sign Teebone. There were some great on ball contesters on line in 2k9. I met my fair share of them.

I went in and practiced this the other night. I'm able to get the hand in the face contest to fire off pretty consistently, but you are right, its tough to get it to fire "every single time".

You have to be in perfect "locked-in close" (you know how there are three locked on distances?), and its damn hard to get into that position on the fly.

Like Born mentioned, it can be done regularly, but the system is VERY picky with the spacing.
