Not much of a big deal, but did anyone else see the new Champs endorsement in the back?

Hope they tone down Dunks in Traffic as a whole, but great news overall.

This could be a completely stupid idea,but what about using LT modifier with Y (jump) to square up to the offensive player and create some contact? This would obviously be a more aggressive block, hard foul as you would be creating contact, and there would be a higher chance of a foul being called so you would have to use it at your own risk as opposed to just hitting Y with limited if any contact and lesser fouls being called. This way you would get those animations around the hoop and change dunks into lay ups if you wanted to and at your own risk...

It would be a legit strategy. Like the Detroit bad boys of late 80's or the 76ers with Barkley and mahorn, or just be a manute Bol and try and swat everything with no contact. Lol

Idk like I said maybe its a dumb idea?! Lol just thinking outside the box:-)

I actually said this in the 2K teamup thread, not with a special button but the same idea. You should have the ability to hard foul while attempting to block. It should be an option that if it looks bad you could get a flagrant 1 or 2.

• In real life you either go for the foul
• Go for the block miss get dunked on or get it.
• Get out of the way
• Take the Charge
• Go for the strip before they take off

Thinking outside of dunks, but this sounds like it might stop the up and under cheese.

Hopefully this means wingspans are editable.

Can't be too mad though. Last year we had Jay Z as the biggest announcement in history of Nba 2K after Jordan. This year we have Euroligue teams and a new blocking system. It's basketball related... It's legit.

They had techs in the game but only for Kinect users I expect that plus a flagrant foul every now and then. It could be by accident not an actual flagrant foul button

I honestly had no clue. WTF is the reasoning behind that?

Re: NBA 2K14 Blocking Dunks

This was asked by one of the community members - can you recreate this block... The answer was yes.

I should also note this is a brand new system implemented this year. Not just more blocking - but a brand new system in which you can block different shots at different points of the offensive players' dunks/shots. It's beautiful, and I can't wait to block more of iPodKingCarter (though he equally facialized me with LeBron - this I cannot lie).

so i can't wait to re-create kobe blocking lebron twice in all star game

Thanks, 2K Sports. I can't wait to hear more gameplay improvements. That is all.

Having a defensive PF as a MyPlayer, & being that I'm going to re-create him next game (unless they allow me to import him) this is MUSIC to my ears.
