Will blocking shots be improved in 2K16?

[Rockie_Fresh88]

I felt so unrewarded on defense as a whole this year really took a lot out of the game experience for me . When I did block the shot or tipped a pass it goes right back to the offense.

2 things: if I don't jump , don't force me into a jump animation. If I do jump don't make me fall over or delay my reaction. Also if I attempt a steal I don't have to lunge completely out of the play

Got me over here playing 2K14, lol

Loved the ball tracking/quick jump here....just felt dominant with shot blockers.

I could help from the weak-side, bait him into drives, and my timing was rewarded. Try that now and i will get the most frustrating outcomes imaginable. a litmus test i do for blocking EVERY year is to take a prolific shot-blocker into one on one against a guard. I back away to the block just outside the paint, let them drive and then go for the swat. Since the cpu doesn't use square to alter layups and there are no high arching ones, it should be like volleyball practice out there. Unfortunately for next gen it's revealed a lot of flaws.

NBA 2K14 Last Gen gameplay wise was the best of all. Hope we get that balance back in 2k16 this gen.

You whiner kids are garbage at this game if you can't block shots or layups/dunks.

Seems like the most probable way to ensure a block is a heavy swat with RT + Y like this:

Problem is plays like this. RW simply lost the ball here, it wasn't a block but should have been....squared this up perfectly

If I would've pressed 'Y' by itself I bet I would've jumped be complete opposite way or been moved back

Yeah it looks like Anthony Davis should've sent that out into the stands but instead he just triggered a missed layup animation.

Exactly it favors offense even that's a miss, it's the best outcome that could ever go happen for a bad layup selection like that. I do believe these all bcs of overpowered Badges on the favor offense all the time, there are offensive GODS vs simplistic defensive guys and also physics don't play any part in those sequences.

That second one happens to me 24/7. I'm good at protecting the rim but actually getting the block itself doesn't happen as much as it should like your first clip.

I think my favorite is a situation like the second vid where you get a block because you see the trajectory move on the ball, yet it just falls straight into the rim anyway.
