NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

eraser is just a type of shot blocker that tries to spike the ball as hard as possible and send it to the 5th row instead of keeping it inbounds. Guys like javale mcgee and deandre jordan are notorious for doing that.

It's not even that. The eraser skill only has an effect after a block. It decreases the attributes of the guy who got rejected. The same with posterizer, which boosts the ratings of teammates after the dunk. So I don't see why we need some eraser/posterizer thing in 2k14. Don't we have enough attributes to account for that already? If a player has high defensive awarenes, blocking, and maybe vertical and strength, he should be an "eraser" by definition. No need for these childish gimmicks imo.
The same with dunks.
If you have dunk/vertical maxed out in addition to flashy dunk packages, this will make you "posterize" defenders quite often. So what do we even need those sig skills for if the rating system works as it should?

Making a Posterizer's dunk unblockable even if they're trying to dunk on a 7 footer with high block rating, good timing and position but no sig skill is dumb

Increasing the likelihood of an eraser blocking a dunk is good.

Decreasing the likelihood of a Posterizer getting their dunk blocked is good.

Binary in off impossible to block sig skills are dumb.

But there are dunk and block ratings already in the game. So why would you need these sig skills at all? Is there anything this would add to the game we can't reproduce with already existing ratings and animation packages?

You would miss the teammate/stamina boosts that you get when the special skill guy does his thing.

Also for things like chasedown the boosts are situational. So that a guy doesnt have boosted speed and block ratings all game only when and where its nexessary to have a higher % chance of actually seeing tha chasedown.

I know you were referring to that particilar one but it was the best example I could think of to answer your question of if this could be accomplished without abilities.

Does this new blocking system imply a new shooting foul/mid-air contact system?

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

Since when are the only two options here "Block dunk" and "Get posterized"? FOH.

Yes, the two options most likely come down to a "blocked dunk" or what you are saying, since he's not an "Eraser" it's impossible to block the dunk so he gets "posterized". He also could foul him and hope he misses. But you are saying, if anyone (besides an Eraser) jumps to block a posterizers dunk, they should automatically be unsuccessful lol. Like I was saying, you telling me that it would be impossible for LeBron to block anyone that has Posterizer? Durant, Hakim Warrick and all those guys should either be fouled or dunk on LeBron because someone that could be deserving doesn't have it. Sounds so dumb and arcadey.

Westbrook is definitely not a posterizer. There are only a few in the league-- Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, maybe Dwight Howard if he returns to form, and that's pretty much it. There's no way you can argue anybody else except maybe healthy Derrick Rose.

You can't argue Westbrook who is the same or maybe even more athletic than a healthy Derrick Rose? That's another problem, Eraser and Posterizer SS's could be argued. Adding that idea to some people who could easily be a posterizer or Eraser would be silly. 2K has a lot more than 3 and that would be more players dunks you cannot block. Like Josh Smith, Amare Stoudemire, McGee, Derrick Williams etc. And other players who could easily have it like Iguodala, JR Smith, Shannon Brown etc. Since you say Kevin Durant someone who currently isn't a posterizer. Here's a video since you think he could easily be one:

Kevin Durant, one of the guys you say thats a posterizer blocked by Jason Smith. Smith currently has like a 58 blocking rating. I guess if KD had the SS posterizer, this would have never happened lol.

You're just playin yourself now. JR Smith is not an amazing in-game dunker. He only dunked period 30 times in 80 games last year. I'll be damned if he's a posterizer.

You're missing the point. And JR Smith could be a posterizer imo. JR Smith is close to being one and he is here getting his shot blocked by a 6'1" PG. You're telling me that there's no way possible someone that's a posterizer cannot be blocked by a PF or C that's close to 7' that had great position and timing? It should be rare, but never happen? C'mon lol. Just answer my question, do you believe it's impossible for someone that's a "Posterizer" to be blocked by someone that's not really an emphatic shot blocker?

Too bad that footage ain't from 2013.

What's your point? Stoudemire was easily one of the best posterizers in Phoenix. I am sure Emeka Okafor would have still only had Scapper and Bruiser.

Congratulations. You found one anomaly. Anyone who knows logic would realize that a single outlier doesn't make a formula completely inaccurate.

See Tim Duncan again. I am telling you that it's possible. You're saying that a person w/ the Posterizer SS shouldn't be able to be blocked at all, unless the other guy has an Eraser SS. Just admit, your "formula" is unrealistic.

Then what's your point?

I am doing most of this from my phone. So I made a mistake. 2K13 does not have Tim Duncan as an "Eraser". So should Timmy just be punched on by Blake Griffin?

Know what else is impossible? Knocking a player down by setting a screen if you don't have "Brick Wall." smfh 2K. jrocc says step ya game up and stop wit that "impossible" ish.

Exactly. I would have a much bigger problem with your idea, than 2K separating great screen setters.*Even though, it's possible for other screeners to knock someone down.

It's pretty hard to be a "flashy" shot-blocker. Eraser is more about giving the shot-blocker's team momentum and taking momentum from the other team by making emphatic blocks that send a message, which Russell and Duncan did very often. I'd give both of them Eraser in a heartbeat.

You would give Duncan eraser in 2012? It's debatable. But that's my point, some players doesn't have Eraser like Duncan. So in 2K, if Tim tried that block, he would have most likley got dunked on because he doesn't have that SS and Blake has Posterizer. FOH.

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

There should be no rules for only an eraser can block a posterizer. That's just silly. Blocks seem like they are going to be about timing and rating.


Eraser
Example Players: Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Serge Ibaka
A player with this skill is known for protecting the rim with emphatic, crowd pleasing blocks. When an Eraser swats a shot, he boosts the energy of his teammates and decreases the shooting attributes (up to six points) of the player he blocked for up to a minute and a half.


Posterizer
Example Players: Blake Griffin, Josh Smith, Hakim Warrick
A player with this skill will often look to dunk on defenders when attempting a dunk in traffic. To get this skill to trigger there must be a defender in the vicinity. To force big-time contact dunks, his stamina must be above 80. Once the dunk completes, his teammates will be given a temporary energy boost.

Stop. Just stop. Kobe was never a posterizer.

How old are you?

I'll say this-- I guarantee if this happened with a Posterizer, 90% of y'all would be cryin like little girls.

But then y'all tryin to say that a rock-paper-scissors system is a terrible idea? FOH.

See? It is possible. Mostly everyone in here disagreed with you about it being impossible for someone that's not an Eraser to block a Posterizers dunk.

Mostly everyone is saying that it should rarely happen, but it still should have that possibility factor, especially if the timing and position is right. Don't you agree with that after the vid you just posted?

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks

What I think everyone is forgetting or just unaware of is that in nba 2k13 you cant block any shot unless it leaves the offensive players hand or its a canned animation block. If u can block dunks in 2k14 but cant block anything else before it leaves the offensive players hand, that would be very unrealistic

Who said it was impossible? I said in the game it should be impossible. A lot of things that NBA players do in real life aren't possible in 2K.

Like I said, let Ginobili or somebody block a Dwight Howard dunk, and see if people don't start girlin and stuff.
