Man, I hope they weakened that spin dunk. Less than 10 of those happen PER YEAR in the NBA, total.

What you essentially want(or at least seem to be desiring by your comments), Is a game that forcefully makes a person lose if they do the same thing repeatedly. That's theoretically impossible, sir.

It's not impossible at all. ALL (good) games are built upon counters for doing the same thing repeatedly. This is the foundation of all game design.

If a move is overpowered (like the spin move is), it should be toned down. It should be as difficult to trigger as it is to be in the right position with the right footwork in real life. It should require proper spacing. It should fail when the defense anticipates it and counters with good positioning and forces contact. It should only work when the defense reacts incorrectly or not at all. It should NOT slide defenders out of the way and be easy to trigger with no counter.

In a sim game, if a move is overpowered, the first thing you do is analyze why this doesn't happen in the sport/activity it's trying to simulate, and incorporate the same advantages, disadvantages, challenges and difficulties into the game.

Players will always do what's most effective. It's up to the game design to make sure smart, realistic play is the most effective and a better tactic than overpowered move spamming.

Gotta love how 2K is turning into the dreaded EA. taking out features and putting them back in, hype words and being content without competition

What features are you talking about? Last I checked 2k bball defense sucked for a couple of years now and I'm ecstatic that shot blocking has finally been addressed. Lives "Bounce Tek" looks like hype words to me and I don't see 2k calling this the "Block Tek".

Why can't people see that this was a huge gripe here on the forums and 2k is just telling us that they addressed it?

I don't get how people are mad about this. It's about gameplay. It's about a thing that lacked for a whole year. It's a good news in my book. They didn't pretend they where gona shock the world with it.

They could have announced a whole mode where Justin Bieber would have been your coach. There is no reason to get over excited about it until we see how it works but seriously stop whinning for everything.

As long as it doesnt happen 24/7 and doesnt end up like the up and under move where everybody in the game can do it I'm good

At this point all I want is some next gen stuff.

Really weird they're not promoting the next-gen stuff harder. Then again, most of the user base is still on current gen and will account for most of the sales-- which just makes things awkward as current gen 2K14 seems to have minimal graphic upgrades, and most of the cyberfaces will be three years old.

This is an internet sports forum Goffs which means your posts which show signs of logic and common sense have no place here. Make another post like this and I will alert the mods

You don't say...


That's just in a few pages of searching "blocks."

2K14 absolutely needed a upgraded block system. It's just the hyped 3-5 blocked *dunks* a game that frightens some of us, when blocked dunks are a tiny fraction of all blocks in the NBA. We'll see.

More importantly an upgraded contact system in general..

Time to start layup attempts!
