is this the year we fear the shot blocker?

Lebron Doesn't even have posterizer in this game this year and I wouldn't have know if I didn't look at the rosters .

I think in addition to the perimeter defense , contact in the paint needs to be more respected . Force more altered shots , failed dunks/Layups or so .

Basically add physics

I'd like to see shots become significantly altered when a player is contested by a premier shot blocker. It's currently too easy to drive right at someone like Roy Hibbert without an awful shot being thrown at the rim.

Bingo.

The problem with 2k defense isn't blocking dunks or getting dunked on, it's letting players have a wide open lane to the rim without help or defenders coming quick enough. You let a player get full speed, which constantly happens on 2K, and he's going to dunk on you 9/10 times..

I'm going to disagree with that. Not saying open lanes happen more in the game than know real life mind you. But even when the lane isn't open, users plow their way in to try to dunk pretty much all the time. And the game doesn't teach them to stop doing that crap. That's where it falls short. Seeing that dunk fail in the trailer was a good thing to me.

this isnt the place to debating if lebron is a posterizer or not but lets clear some things up

lebron dunked 25% of his finishes at the rims (dunk:layup ratio)

that is among the highest of all wings. hes not la-layup as someone mentioned..

it doesnt matter though, until we can have the roy hibbert effect in 2k when it comes to paint defense, shot blocking/contesting wont be what it needs to be

Watch games he went more to jumpshots last season and most dunks came from heats fastbreak play style. He wasn't running into paint and dunking over 3 people ala 2k14. Alley opps and fast breaks were his MO

That's why you just change the dunk attempt slider.. Problem solved

Think he meant online when he mentioned users plowing into the paint .

The shot blocker will never be feared until they fix the canned/warping animations underneath, get rid of certain signature skills, fix shot percentages for contested shots, fix the fact that offensive players can "push" defensive players backwards, take out the button delay, and STOP stealing control FROM the user when he DOES time the block perfectly. Nothing pisses me off more when I time a block perfectly, and the game uses that stupid "I'm scared to get dunked on animation" instead. Personally, I think they need to take that animation out completely.
