    How to get more blocks in this game

    I have Dikembe Mutombo (Nuggets Version) in my dynasty mode and I'm barely averaging a block a game with him in 8 minute quarters. Usually one other teammate will get a block too and that will be it for the entire game. Is there anything I can set to basically make it so there's more blocks going on? When I played 2k12 it would be a block party every game but some reason in 13 I've pretty much mastered everything but blocks.

    Also I looked at the sliders and there's a bunch of "shot defense success" ones but I don't really want the shots to get bothered any more just for more of them to be blocked. Little stats like that bother me so help would be appreciated!

    Also sorry if this is a repeat thread, I feel like it might be but I couldn't find one... so yeah help please!

    I'd really like to know if said sliders affect shot success (if it isn't blocked) too or just how many blocks their are in the game.

      Have you tried upping the blocking sliders ? I don't know how much.of a difference it will make but it might help.a little. Other than that i can't think of anything. because i suck at blocking offline

        Well there's not just a "blocking" slider or not one I can find at leas it's just a bunch of different types of "shot defense" so I'm worried it'll bother people's shots more too. Haha yeah blocking real people is much easier.

          The blocking slider is in the attribute slider section, the one before tendencies i believe.

          The AI just always seems to know when I'm trying a block especially in the post.

            Yeah shot blockers are not as effective as they were in 2K12. In 2K12 you feared shot blockers like Dwight Howard and Ibacka, but this year their is no fear driving in the lane, you can get layups and dunks all day on shot blockers and sliders wont help much, defenders just seem to not react to players driving in the lane sometimes.

              Yeah I feel like that too. Mutombo is already a 99 block so would that change anything for him?

              Yeah I also feel like in 12 you got more help with blocking. Like as long as you timed it right your player would go after the ball. But this time it seems like my player swats air in instead of the ball which is right next to him.

                I noticed that players with high block rating affect more shoot success even when they don't have a clean block

                  I get blocks by hold UP on the Right Stick instead of pressing the Triangle Button... It seems to trigger animations that you wont get if you try to swat everything with Triangle.

                    Trying upping "help defense" in your coach's profile. Most blocks in the NBA come from weak side help.

                      One of the most frustrating moments I experience in 2K13 is when I finally time a block perfectly, only to see the offensive player decide a millisecond prior to releasing their shot to rocket a pass on the money to the player left open by my helpside defense. I understand passing out of a shot, but there are times where players in 2K13 pass out of their shot way too late, and way too strongly and accurately. It seems I can go an entire game without getting a user block then the moment it becomes inevitable, the ball is more or less reversed out of my defender's waiting hands and fired to an open teammate.

                        Seriously it seems like that happens for me too and a lot of the time my player is standing in front of the shooter and he just jumps right past him. The passing thing happens pretty much any time I go up for the block with Mutombo and it happens way too late in the process of the shot to be realistic.

                        Also to the guy who said to try to increase the help defense thank you that does work for at least getting more non-user blocks

                          what helps me is just hitting y with no direction or anything.

                            Huh, I never thought about doing that. I'll have to try that next time I get on. Do you hold LT?

                              better success with not holding lt
