Re: Official NBA 2k10 Impressions Thread
As a player I'm gonna tell u that 4 the most part, it's absolutely unacceptable 2 have ur jumpshot blocked period! If ur an NBA level player...hell, even if ur just a really good recreational player, there are only certain occasions where your jumpshot should be blocked. With time running down on the clock and ur forced 2 put it up quick, perhaps someone running out @ u can get a hand on the ball. Even still as a ball player, if u see the defender coming, u shouls be able 2 adjust on the fly and get it over their hands. Even if u miss bad, 9/10 ur shot shouldn't get blocked. Another scenario is if a player catches u from behind or a blind spot. That's rare and there's not much u can do about that. What's even more rare is if a player just plays impecable one-on-one defense and blocks ur shot. This might have happened 2 me once in my life (by a guy 6'8"...I'm 6'3") because u either pass out of the shot or throw it off their body. Jumpshots being blocked is NOT something u should see often in a basketball game. The only reason it was seen so much in 2K (especially 2K9) was because of the delay from the time u press shoot 2 the moment the character actually elevated 4 the shot. This has been improved upon but still hasn't been totally ironed out. A good offensive NBA player has worked his entire life on perfecting techniques on how 2 get their shot off against all types of defenses. So while I expect 2 see shots getting rejected in certain scenarios, it's 4 damn sure not something I wanna get used 2 seeing or have 2 worry about if I'm on offense. Force me into a bad shot...cool. Even make me shoot an airball but (as in 2K9) 2 get my shot blocked cause of flaws in the game (squaring up, bending over, giving clear indications that the shot's coming)...I don't wanna see that!

. My other game was a nail biter that was back and forth between the Thunder and Bobcats. As I understand it. Clutch Factor being on allows for the superstars to go into beserk mode, especially late in the 3rd and 4th quarters. I didnt notice K.D. flip a switch and all of a sudden get hot, when he had been cold the entire game. In our online leagues last year, we too, turned Clutch Factor off, and although runs still happened, it was not because of Clutch Factor. Instead it was on the ignorance of the user, failing to call timeouts, use the coaching emphasis options, etc.
