Why would you think blocking a dunk is realistic

Re: Why would you think blocking a dunk is realistic

I feel like the negative response to live ball physics may have contributed to the dissatisfaction with 2k13's shot blocking. It [saddens] me to think that people complaining about the wrong things in 2k(10,11,12) created an unnecessary new issue in 2k13, or that overreactions towards elements of any past or current title could potentially harm future games in the series.

Just to be absolutely clear, the more "live" the ball is, the better the game can be.
The more body parts the ball can interact with, the better the game can be.
Blame most often rests with specific animations, or a lack of them.
Physics aren't implemented, they implement.

Excellent post, emphasis added is mine.

Ive blocked dunks but very rarely , u just have to time your jump to where the dunk is almost over at the end, and get a hand on the ball. But no blocks at the apex of players dunks though..

Block a dunk, ok it's not a lot of times. But you should think you can.
When a guy goes for the dunk, I think think "why jump? I can't block it".

This big problem is that you can't defend on dunk animations.
Of course, you can't block the dunk.
But you can't bother the guy either! If you put yourself in front of him, the dunk animation will make you slide on the floor. You absolutely can't bother a dunker.
And that's annoying.
