NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

[Eman5805]

This raises the importance of using the stick to double clutch. Hope this also means something was done to the gathering process. Because I don't wanna just have to block dunks in the air. Drawing proper charges or at least fouling them before they leave the floor hard will be a plus as well. Gotta be something we can do to curb player's just diving to the rim.

Sounds great. Certainly a welcome addition.

Yup, maybe the change shot command won't be redundant as usual. People will actually face a risk when they try to yam it on three defenders. This year's game did the best it could with the band-aid of making players miss dunks when there are too many people in the way, but just seeing players being able to clear defenders out of the way with a dunk animation was a complete eye-sore.

As alabamarob said though, we will need balance by being able to foul properly, including hard fouling.

Thank you Da_Czar! I look forward to spiking the ball to the stands! I hope its like the vid I showed!

Wow... Ability to block dunks in basketball game? 2k please, just stop doing those innovations to the game... What's next? I'm even too afraid to guess.

Seriously, I don't see what are 2k proud of... it should have been implemented in previous games. They just made what should have been made, cool.

I hope with next gen comes the proper jersey colors for teams like GS and DET.

Nice touch but a rarity in the NBA. I do hope it's in the next gen version as well because I think most of 2K14 if not all of it will be on next gen.
