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

[abcfinest]

Im a sim guy but its a video game people. If you come into the paint holding turbo and trying dunk every time and I time it right everytime with a good shot blocker I expect a block often. People talking bout it should only be 1 block dunk a game. That would mean 2k would have to cheat and not allow you to block alot of dunks even if you time it right. Similar to how on hof they slow your players down on a fast break so the cpu can catch up

Ibaka has the best combination of leaping ability timing and hand eye coordination

Now that was a career night by the best blocker in the league, and it still only resulted in one sort-of-maybe-dunk attempt by Mosgov and a probable tipped dunk by Brewer. The rest were layups and blocks that I wouldn't really call a blocked dunk.

I do hope the new block system punishes in paint cheesing, but it shouldn't be all blocked dunks. Maybe it all evens out with sim settings not triggering dunks often in the first place, with casual/default mode having more highlights and and better game balance with the dunks vs. blocked dunks game.

Shake4ndBake and SubTheGamer both sound like such idiots. The only two who's video i was actually able to listen the whole way through was IpodKingCarter and ShakeDown2012.

Also anyone notice how those with 2k13 gameplay footage played the most unrealstic brand of basketball? And these are the guys going to teamup?

EVERYONE COMPLAINED THE MOST ABOUT BLOCKING DUNKS, so it makes sense that the first major announcement is dunk blocking, and improved blocks in general. Supposedly they revamped the engine, and that remains to be seen. However, how many people list the blocking mechanics as the first thing on wishlists for 2k14 next to crew? It makes perfect sense to me to announce some of the most wanted gameplay improvements first, and this is a huge one considering how many of you complained about this for 2k13. Even better if they actually helped blocking in general, since I'm tired of the ball teleporting through my hand on a block because the game didn't feel like giving it to me, despite me timing it right. Second: Look at this in perspective. How many dunks a game happen in 2k13? My average game online, or even regularly has an easy 10+ occurring. How many dunks happen in a real life basketball game? Not nearly that much. So yeah, I expect 3-5 dunks blocked a game, simply because the amount of dunks that happen in the game are ridiculous. If you see 33% of all dunks blocked, and there are 15 dunks in a game of 2k14, I'm ok with 5 of them getting sent back. I'm sure when you set the sim sliders up like you guys love to do, which will decrease the amount of dunks done in game, you'll see less dunk blocks. I guarantee we'll see a ton of blocked dunks online, because players seem to love trying to drive to the rim and make a poster out of people. OS shows that like every game fanbase, you're just Unpleaseable. "We want dunks to be blockable". "Ok, You can block dunks". "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? That's too much!"

Thing is we won't see 5 blocked dunks a game even if an opponent is attacking . If the dunks can be interrupted then we would mostly likely see a huge jump in blocked Layups.


Edit: I'm agreeing with you but I think it'll be less dunks in traffic and more Layups

Problem was not being able to block dunks and the other part was dunk frequency being too high for most players, low chance of contact layup. The top dunkers are getting maybe 2 dunks a game in real life. The paint doesn't open up as much in real life to attempt dunks and then there are not that many capable of dunking on people in traffic, without getting fouled.
