This would be better since you'd have to choose better if you want to shoot with a long defender arriving or one with a big wingspan and also overaggressive defenders could be tricked by offensive players by drawing fouls. The other thing is that defenders aren't physical enough specially against the best players. I've seen several gamewinners in this game where the offensive player freely moves to the spot on the court wherever he wants without any opposition from his defender. You'll notice that during those situations defenders bump, get very physical, even pull and grab the player to stop their opposition to move where they want.

I've notice that the only time you get the bump animation is when the offensive player drives and you cut him off. You can't initate the contact. He has to come into your space THEN the bump animation. It doesn't seem that you can crowd him or bump him (even at the expense of a foul). I would like it better even if I were penalized occasionally.
