Blocks are ridiculous!

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

Yeah I just had Valuncuinas stuff 5 of my shots back down my throat.

I even went in with the floater and he sent that soft **** out of there

That's because every team with a big that's 6"10 or so is Dikembe Mutombo

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

So every NBA player, regardless of size, strength, athleticism can block shots and throw dunks in the stands if they wanted to?

Nate Robinson blocked Yao Ming. Kyle Krover blocked Roy Hibbert to a new zip code. NBA players can make blocks if the player serves them the ball. Period.

Hell, I blocked Brad Miller in a pickup game at Purdue before he was drafted to the NBA. I'm 6'2", and he was 6'10". I blocked plenty of bigger and stronger players over years. It's all about the timing. If you don't want to blocked, then BE AWARE of where the defensive player is at. Stop going up blindly and without thought.

I swear people don't want this game have to have any defense.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

The only real frustration for me is the logic on many layups and dunks. Not really a problem with the blocks themselves.



If I hit a cutter with a small window to finish or am attacking the rim with a skilled finisher, he should have some urgency or situational awareness. 2K still needs to work on triggering quick and crafty animations. Changing a shot/finish in air will work some of the time but could be strengthened IMO.



For example, a lot of times I'll get a blow-by with Kyrie Irving in online H2H, but I'm getting blocked 100% of the time by a help defender even though I'm aware of him coming probably before my opponent. A huge part of a guy like Irving's game are his crafty layups and ability to finish around bigs. And yes, I'm aware of the floater -- floater animations and success rates are WORSE than 2K15 -- it was a poor choice to make that hideous slow runner-shot animation the default floater in 2K16 rather than a Parkersque teardrop.

IF you can react quick enough.....Aiming away from the defender with the shot stick or the L stick + shot button helps some..

You won't get blocked but it feels like you miss too many of these as well...especially with the elite defenders like Kyrie...you'll get some fouls though...

I haven't tried this post patch though so maybe it has improved with the boost...

Contextual finishes could def use work though..

Please don't listen to this thread.... Blocks are the best they have ever been.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

How do you guys find CPU blocks?

Great, play with bulls currently with my SF, Noah has my back whenever someone blows by me, he's averaging around 1.5 BPG.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

I lowered the block attribute and noticed a lot less blocks from teams that don't have shot blockers. Playing as the Pacers in MyGM, I have Whiteside and Turner as my front court, so you can already expect it to be a block party in the paint. I did have the nastiest block with Paul George last night tho; Straight up DeAndre Jordan "I'm pissed so I'll swat the ball to the upper level" type block.

Honestly, this is the real reason why blocks happen so often. I use the shot stick to choose which hand use, but the "wrong" layup animation starts where I "serve" the ball to the blocker. When I attack the paint now, I mix up the finish attempt and which hand I use. Sometimes, I just choose wrong, and it gets block. MOST times than not, I'm scoring.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

Wow, people are talking about two different things here and don't even realize it

CPU blocks vs the user are perfectly fine. I have no problem with it and the only time I get blocked is when I make a bad decision or try and force it in the paint.

User blocks vs the CPU are definitely OP. Point guards with zero blocking skill can make chasedown blocks like LeBron, regularly. My three point specialist SG in MyCareer is leading the NBA in blocks per game. This needs to be toned down.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

Like the increase in blocks, but it gets annoying and is BS when the likes of Lou Williams contest your jumper and block it badly or turn it into a horrible fadeaway animation.

Why do people keep basing nonsense on the My Career and My Park modes?????????????

It's a FANTASY mode.

I swear they need to give My Player users their own set of sliders or their own game on a separate disk.

just because it's based on the "fantasy" of you being an NBA player doesn't mean that the gameplay itself isn't supposed to be sim, it's the same gameplay as the rest of the game.

Ur talking about things that happen every blue moon. I'm talking about things that happen 3X's per game in nba2k16.

Hell, Corey Brewer once score 50 in a nba game to. But that don't mean he should be lebron in the game either.

Being a Pacers fan and had watched that game, I'm pretty sure Krover blocked him TWICE in that game. That was the game where the fans began to turn on Hibbert, and it was the beginning of the end for his days in Indiana.

Re: Blocks are ridiculous!

There's a difference between a block sequence happening once every blue moon, and it happening every game with regularity. Shaq once hit a 3 in a nba game to.
