I dont get why you guys at EA are so obsessed with the defender blocking jumpers so much. It just doesnt happen that way. I dont consider that realistic at all.

Thats the entire thing about the NBA, guys already know what other teams are going to do but the offense usually executes anyway. Only when the defender is on top of the offense is when he gets a block or stop

You're not going to block Ray Allen just because you know when he's shooting alone. 99% of the time you jump late, you can forget about it
And that's what I described. The defender being right up on the dribbler and having full knowledge that he was going to shoot.

You can't argue that in that situation the shot wouldn't be blocked.

Everything else you said is bang on once you remove that knowledge.

And that's the case in our game as well.

You shouldn't be trying to block all the time because you'll get burned with the pump fake and won't get the timing right all the time. It's usually not worth the risk.

But if you take that risk and the dribbler does the wrong thing he should pay.

But he should have all the tools you have in real life to make sure you look like a fool when you jump every time trying to block the shot.
