Will fouls be called on attempting to block dunks and are they missed dunks or is it either he maked the dunk or its blocked?

quehouston · 08-07-2013, 01:05 PM

The addition of blocked dunks are okay, I guess. But the real issue wasn't the fact that you couldn't block dunks, but the lack of contact in the paint, and the abundance of dunks in the paint.

Blocked dunks are rare in the NBA, simply because people getting dunked on, or attempting to dunk on someone is rare.

I feel like 2k is using this "new" feature, as a crutch to balance out current paint issues that they aren't focusing on in 2k14, like turbo dunk animations and the lack of contact before the takeoff.

In my opinion, the blocked dunks in 2k14 are gonna play a similar role as the missed dunks in 2k13. Safety nets to balance out the issues in the paint.

Bet we'll see though.

And another question: Are these blocks canned animations?

Nope.

Different points on which you can block dunks. Be smart about it and you're rewarded.

You guys(Steve you're okay) need to stop calling this new blocking system a "feature". The third definition of feature in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is , "a prominent part or characteristic". I do not believe that 2k is going to market their entire game based on a new blocking system. I quote Ronnie "

A TINY BIT of news. I'm sure there is much more coming. 2k is

Oh, and LD2k asked you to stop misquoting him and Ronnie. Calling it a feature is misquoting them.

You can't use a dictionary definition to tell someone what they mean when they use a certain word. That's ridiculous and, quite frankly, embarrassing.

hopefully next they put in a new rebounding system.

Agreed. Even when boxing out, the offensive rebounding by the CPU was ridiculous
