Blocking still seems underrated by the view of the managers. The BB's all tried to convince us in the past that the bocking skill also helps with altering shots (what we most of the time dont see) and that blocking will help to reduce at least the Looking Inside domination etc. But people are believers until they see it with their own eyes.
When the manager trains jumpshot, they notice a increase in scoring %. When the manager trains passing, they notice more assists. It makes all the hard training finally pay off while watching a live game. More positive action coming out of the gameviewer. When they train blocking they almost see jack shit out of their hard effort to train a good amount of blocking.
Im not saying BB should hand out unrealistic more blocks in a game. Just at least a more realistic amount to give blocking some more eye candy. Even in real life the bocking average is higher in less minutes compared to BB.
I see way to many good blockers (i checked players with 14 blocking and higher also at least 14 ID and a bit OD just to be sure) with 1,7-2,3 blocking averages. I also looked at their career blocking in one game. Way to many had a max of 5 or 6 blocks in one game. Almost no bursts of 10+ blocks in one game. These things do happen in real life.
Blocking doesnt feel like a game-changing skill to train. Its just not cool. Even players with 14 skills in rebounding can average 15 rebounds a game in here. With 15 rebounds in this game you would be the number one rebounder in the NBA for at least the last 5 seasons. Even a top shot blocker isnt sure to average a good blocking amount. Its just to hard to make a block in this game..
A positive change in the average amount of blocks per game would make training it at least more fun. More blocking will give teams a better way to defend the Looking Inside domination, so this change handles the L.I. problem as well, while making it more fun to watch the game. A no brainer to me
I could understand BB thinks: " blocking is already powerful enough, so we dont change a thing. ". You could at least make it more attractive to watch by decreasing the % of a altered shot (since we dont see them most of the time anyway) and increase the actual blocks.. Those 2 could even themselves out, but more satisfaction.
So my question would be:
Can BB be convinced by the BB-manager that the skill blocking needs a adjustment,or can we just give up because BB isnt going to change anything regarding the blocking skill?
