Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

Re: Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

Exactly. I think we all agree that, for the most part, ratings matter in a sports video game. On the other hand, there really just are instances that don't work out the way you want it. I mean, look at Curry's 3pt rating. Does the OP expect every shot to go in? If he wants every single rating to mean something, and based on that video, OP's Shot IQ rating should be a 27, if it's purely ratings that mean so much to him. We could all see he coulda dumped it off to Embiid.

I just saw Seth Curry block a guy from behind in real life.

Just sayin'.

Re: Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

I feel like shot blocking is actually complicated in life, to be a 'good shot blocker' requires more than height and jumping.

In order to fix this whole 'jumping at people and holding turbo' or just bunny hopping under the rim, as well as making shot blocking more skill based, why not make it like the inverse of shooting?

That is, someone goes for a shot and when you press jump (and probably a stick direction for different contests) and you are engaged in an animation that depends on what shot they chose and what contest you chose, then kind of the same as a shot, it would be a shot-like bar that would allow for more room for error if you had a higher block rating. A bad 'release', poor contest choice, or them changing their shot without you adapting, would result in either a swipe at the air or a foul.

The problem w/ 2k's system now is it's like your whole body becomes a 'blocking object' and the animations don't adapt too well to what is going on, no one is really punished enough for just jumping, and there are way too many behind blocks or blocks of people who get you in the air with a pump and then shoot.

Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

Tyler Ulis blocked a shot in his first ever NBA game last night. And he only played 14 minutes.

Edit: on Garrett Temple, who is 6'6"

Re: Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

90% of a shot-block is WHO...Tyler Ulis is 5'9"....his block rating is 27. It not in his skill-set. Calling the block ok is ok'ing stuff ANTI a players skillset...its literally the same as being OK with Dwight Howard going 6-6 from 3pt range--there's no difference.

I swear emotional dudes like you never watch basketball, with that specfic angle that the player tried to use to shoot the layup thats an easy block and was timed perfectly. if you would watch bball you'd see Tyler has made plays like that in real life.

Heres a real life video where Ulis makes almost the exact same play as you posted except in real life...

Re: Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

I'm not a baseball fan either....all good tho. Disagreeing is fine...but make it factual--I wont even post Ulis' block rate because it embarrassing. And Rodriguez is 6'3".

That people are making the argument equivalent of "Its ok if Drummond goes 4-4 from three." ummmmm....no. That's comical.

I feel sorry that 2k devs have to come on this forum and read emotional ignorant responses like yours, idk how they have the motivation to continue to work at improving their game when they know there are irrational emotional people like you as part of their consumer audience...

"but make it factual--I wont even post Ulis' block rate because it embarrassing. And Rodriguez is 6'3"
how much more factual can he make it if he posted actual real life footage. Talking about height in terms of blocking shots shows you have never played in real life, most important attribute to blocking shots arevertical jump and timing. Who cares what rodriguez height is when when Ulis can make up for his lack of height with a 38" vertical according to his draft combine results.

Using your logic a play like this would have never happened...

Re: Tyler Ulis: Shot-Blocker

The forums are for debate.....I don't have an issue with you feeling differently than me.

My issue is this: https://youtu.be/u9lwHqHud1c

And ummm... that: https://youtu.be/-QNKVo17XPY

FYI: 27 is the lowest block rating in the game, so its essentially a zero. Ulis is the least likely player in 2K17 to get a block. I'm not saying he can't get blocks, I'm saying gameplay should skew the game way in favor of him NOT getting one. Im saying his ratings should mean he'll be much more successful trying to strip the ball or going with hands up. I'm saying it should be a foul 19 times in 20.

Both of those are realistic blocks, instead of trying to do a backscratching dunk with Noel that exposes the ball, that person should of pressed left or rt. on the right stick to do a left or rt handed dunk.

And calderon timed it perfect and the ball was exposed right to him.

Both of your videos suggest that you have a lack of skill when using all the tools 2k has provided which include: evasive layups, left/rt handed dunks, hop steps, eurosteps, pumpfakes etc. Get in the lab and work on your skills instead of crying
