That sounds good, it seems hard however to evaluate? When a shot was missed was that caused by good defence or a block altering the shot?

in real games a block sometimes changes momentum, so why not add some kind of psychological bonus to blocked shots like poorer shot selection or slower offensive pace, more offensive fouls due to frustration, by the team that shot was rejected...

There are already 4 distinct effects from shot blocking that were mentioned in this thread. In addition, there is player momentum, so missing a shot makes it more likely that you'll miss your next one. How much more do we need? Shotblocking is not the only skill in the game, you know.
