Man, this song reminds me too much of the good ole NBA Street (Guessing Volume 2).

What I think everyone is forgetting or just unaware of is that in nba 2k13 you cant block any shot unless it leaves the offensive players hand or its a canned animation block. If u can block dunks in 2k14 but cant block anything else before it leaves the offensive players hand, that would be very unrealistic

Don't you agree with that after the vid you just posted?

Who said it was impossible? I said in the game it should be impossible. A lot of things that NBA players do in real life aren't possible in 2K.

Like I said, let Ginobili or somebody block a Dwight Howard dunk, and see if people don't start girlin and stuff.

Could you maybe explain why exactly it should be impossible? I mean right now, posterizer/eraser have no effect on dunk/block success whatsoever, so you'd basically introduce an additional modifier to aready existing ratings (dunk/block). Why would you do that? Could't the same be achieved by scaling attributes in a way that maxed out dunk/vertical with flashy dunk packages have this effect already? So why the additional gimmick?

If a player can jump high enough and time it right,then he should be able to block it.

I'm with you on the opinion that ratings and tendencies should be able to accomplish what the Signature Skills do, but as long as they're in, this would be a nice dichotomy to have.

I get your point. But in my opinion this would be a step into the wrong direction. Just imagine how easy it would be to exploit "posterizers" if there's no counter sig skill player on the opposing team. It's bad enought right now.
What I'd like is to use "sig skills" more like labels to describe a player's abilities when they have certain combinations of attributes. You know, like Sega does in Football Manager where you can highlight key attributes for specific roles. The same way, high block/def awareness ratings could trigger "Eraser" being shown in the player's profile, simply to show that's his strength, but without changing any in game rating.

There is a counter.

Cut the player off before he gets to the rim.
