Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks
Very excited of the possibilites in this feature. Chase down blocks hopefully included as well as the possibility to recreate LeBron blocking Splitter. Also aesthetic wise I see LeBron has his "I Promise" rubberbands on his wrists. That's a nice touch I was personally going for. Hoping those are also on his next gen player model as well, and that they are editable as he doesn't always wear the black "I Promise" bands sometimes he wears white at home with red or black writing or red with white writing. It would be nice to have the option. Cannot wait to see more Next Gen screenshots and hopefully more gameplay.Comment

I do think these will be canned if activated with a button press.

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks
Great news...very glad to hear there's a new blocking system...that's the important thing
Too much importance was put on the actual idea of blocking a dunk, which doesn't happen often IRL, rather than the real problem which was the lack of contact in the air, uninterruptible animations...
Lools good though!Comment

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks
I fear we'll be getting block stat lines in double figures every game now. A whole new system dedicated to just blocked shots? Hmmm. I'm not optimistic.
Good news for some, I guess. Never really bothered me so much as It's only online that seems to be a dunkfest.
Now - when are we due more updates on 2k14?-----------------------------------------

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks
I understand the concerns about this and rightly so due to 2k going overboard in the past. But c'mon guys lets just wait and play it ourselves and not listen to these youtube hype machines. Don't forget about 2k tuning the game through the year after release.....so there's that...Comment

Re: NBA 2K14 Features New Blocking System, Includes the Ability to Block Dunks
Good call. My brother and I have a bad habit recently of pausing the game and replaying all the times our right handed player had a clear path to the backboard but instead opted to stop their momentum, go completely out of their way, attempt a layup or dunk at the front of the rim, with the off hand, right into the teeth of the waiting defense.
That said, I still think there's a time and a place for flashy dunks in the half court, just not if they're obviously going to lead to an easy block. For instance, if a prime Vince ever made a video game appearance, I wouldn't want to be unable to pull this off just because there's defenders waiting:

as of now, it seems that the dunker can only have awareness of one defender at a time...so if there are multiple defenders around, the dunk animation only takes into account the "primary" defender and ignores the other 2 defenders who are just as close and just as capable of blocking it.Last edited by blues rocker; 08-07-2013, 09:55 AM.Comment

Re: NBA 2K14 Blocking Dunks
even if they brought back dunk control, the problem for me is that i have switched to exclusively using the shot button for all dunks, layups and jump shots (as i think many people have)...so 2k better have "contextually smart" dunk animations for us shot button users.Comment

Looks good though!
The memories of reading my opponent's next move on the perimeter, beating him to a spot, having his progress impeded temporarily as he runs in place against my defender's body, watching him suddenly glitch around me, storm into the paint, disregard my perfectly positioned shotblocker, then elevate for an unblockable monster jam (that I'd try to jump and block anyway, most often resulting in a three point play), will live on forever.Comment
