So this is really what it is coming down to?

I'm so glad 2K finally lifted the ban for these guys to all make long videos of them playing 2K13 so they can talk about a feature in 2K14. What a waste of bandwidth.

Theses videos...

Damn.

hopefully this means the removal of Left Trigger blocking!!!!! leave it to the users skill to successfully block dunks not some CPU shot contest from holding a trigger

I got through 75% of the first one.

I'm done.

I'll wait for their overall impression of the game.

That's good to hear. I do appreciate that you guys are also thinking about doing this early in the development cycle when input might be a bit more useful for that year's product.

I'm concerned about how "easy" block dunks seem to be. "We saw a blocked dunk in no time." "All you need are good stats and timing." Blocked dunks are a rarity in real life, and I hope realistic play will result in a realstic amount of blocked dunks (very few), and all the block dunks we're seeing are just because it was a poor choice to try to dunk.

I'm much rather see most dunks contests changed to layups or missed dunks like it used to be, with the occasional blocked dunk.

i keep hearing best feature in nba 2k14...i hope this is not true and just hype because it wasn't in 2k13...if blocking is the best feature in 2k14 then thats a prb in my book...just my thoughts tho
