Balancing was a major focus. Someone want to camp - go ahead and pump fake or ball fake a pass out and make them react. They will pay for their mistakes just like players do in the real NBA.

The new blocking feature is cool my only problem is that horrible color blue is back in the game for the warriors jerseys.

Not just more blocking - but a brand new system in which you can block different shots at different points of the offensive players' dunks/shots. It's beautiful, and I can't wait to block more of iPodKingCarter (though he equally facialized me with LeBron - this I cannot lie).

So with this new system will we see volleyball type blocks like the ones on this vid? There's no oomf to the shotblocks in 2k13 and I remember 2k11 had these types of blocks and they were GLORIOUS!

So did we get NEW Attributes or Tendencies that EFFECT the Blocking OR is it just Built in the game?

The info being released goes for current-gen and next-gen consoles, right? I've only been seeing current-gen screenshots, so I'm not sure.

BEST NEWS SO FAR!!!

# 28 jersez @ 08/06/13 03:54 PM

I'll have to play and experience the new system, until then it's not big news to me since blocking dunks isn't a new feature, maybe the next piece of news will hype me up.

1000000000% agree with this

They can't block my dunks tho.

Feature available on current and next gen right?

I just hope they don't go overboard with blocking and dunk blocking, like they tend to do when something new is added.

From a hands on experience, it takes timing and positioning depending on what time of dunk it is. Power dunks feel more easier to block and the quick dunks will of course be harder to block. This new blocking feature is absolutely beautiful! The fact that when you block someones dunk you can finally hear the ball getting swatted and the players actually react to their dunks getting blocked, which is absolutely priceless. I have a full video on my hands on experience on YouTube for anyone looking for more information on this new NBA 2K14 feature http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB7awJoSbEs

Does anyone know if this picture is current or Next- Gen because Lebron's wristband looks different.

# 36 HsBalla 9 @ 08/06/13 04:23 PM

Hearing about the new block system is all fine and dandy but we need to see gameplay to see how much it really changed. Please 2k don't go back to 2k12 elbow/leg block system...

if the ball is live any body part should interact with it . No more easy PIP I hope, keep the cheesers in check for once

We can block dunks? YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

# 40 jersez @ 08/06/13 04:33 PM

Will canned-animated dunks be removed???? That's news to me...that would get me on the hype train.
