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

[iLLosophy]

Does this new blocking system imply a new shooting foul/mid-air contact system?

Yes, the two options most likely come down to a "blocked dunk" or what you are saying, since he's not an "Eraser" it's impossible to block the dunk so he gets "posterized". He also could foul him and hope he misses. But you are saying, if anyone (besides an Eraser) jumps to block a posterizers dunk, they should automatically be unsuccessful lol. Like I was saying, you telling me that it would be impossible for LeBron to block anyone that has Posterizer? Durant, Hakim Warrick and all those guys should either be fouled or dunk on LeBron because someone that could be deserving doesn't have it. Sounds so dumb and arcadey.

You can't argue Westbrook who is the same or maybe even more athletic than a healthy Derrick Rose? That's another problem, Eraser and Posterizer SS's could be argued. Adding that idea to some people who could easily be a posterizer or Eraser would be silly. 2K has a lot more than 3 and that would be more players dunks you cannot block. Like Josh Smith, Amare Stoudemire, McGee, Derrick Williams etc. And other players who could easily have it like Iguodala, JR Smith, Shannon Brown etc. Since you say Kevin Durant someone who currently isn't a posterizer. Here's a video since you think he could easily be one:


Kevin Durant, one of the guys you say thats a posterizer blocked by Jason Smith. Smith currently has like a 58 blocking rating. I guess if KD had the SS posterizer, this would have never happened lol.

You're missing the point. And JR Smith could be a posterizer imo. JR Smith is close to being one and he is here getting his shot blocked by a 6'1" PG. You're telling me that there's no way possible someone that's a posterizer cannot be blocked by a PF or C that's close to 7' that had great position and timing? It should be rare, but never happen? C'mon lol. Just answer my question, do you believe it's impossible for someone that's a "Posterizer" to be blocked by someone that's not really an emphatic shot blocker?

What's your point? Stoudemire was easily one of the best posterizers in Phoenix. I am sure Emeka Okafor would have still only had Scapper and Bruiser.

See Tim Duncan again. I am telling you that it's possible. You're saying that a person w/ the Posterizer SS shouldn't be able to be blocked at all, unless the other guy has an Eraser SS. Just admit, your "formula" is unrealistic.

I am doing most of this from my phone. So I made a mistake. 2K13 does not have Tim Duncan as an "Eraser". So should Timmy just be punched on by Blake Griffin?

Exactly. I would have a much bigger problem with your idea, than 2K separating great screen setters.*Even though, it's possible for other screeners to knock someone down.

You would give Duncan eraser in 2012? It's debatable. But that's my point, some players doesn't have Eraser like Duncan. So in 2K, if Tim tried that block, he would have most likley got dunked on because he doesn't have that SS and Blake has Posterizer. FOH.

There should be no rules for only an eraser can block a posterizer. That's just silly. Blocks seem like they are going to be about timing and rating.


Eraser
Example Players: Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Serge Ibaka
A player with this skill is known for protecting the rim with emphatic, crowd pleasing blocks. When an Eraser swats a shot, he boosts the energy of his teammates and decreases the shooting attributes (up to six points) of the player he blocked for up to a minute and a half.


Posterizer
Example Players: Blake Griffin, Josh Smith, Hakim Warrick
A player with this skill will often look to dunk on defenders when attempting a dunk in traffic. To get this skill to trigger there must be a defender in the vicinity. To force big-time contact dunks, his stamina must be above 80. Once the dunk completes, his teammates will be given a temporary energy boost.

I'll say this-- I guarantee if this happened with a Posterizer, 90% of y'all would be cryin like little girls.



But then y'all tryin to say that a rock-paper-scissors system is a terrible idea? FOH.

See? It is possible. Mostly everyone in here disagreed with you about it being impossible for someone that's not an Eraser to block a Posterizers dunk.

Mostly everyone is saying that it should rarely happen, but it still should have that possibility factor, especially if the timing and position is right. Don't you agree with that after the vid you just posted?
