Wait a sec, over in the SF thread... aren't you arguing the exact opposite point of view w/r/t changing a bad design vs. penalizing users who have planned according to that design?

I think that trying to block the shot should be only by best blockers on the field and who doesn't know that, doesn't do that. So than will be more blocked shots by great blockers. That's the only thing where I would like to see an difference if there isn't already.

in this case i would say, many trainers trained shot blocking because they thought that it is usefull, so they waste probadly training because it ain't clear in the rules and in the players rating that it is doesn't worth it ;) In this case i could understand an adjustement moreover, because blocking even isn't the fastet training.

And the non blocking center will still work i thing, the adjustement must not be soo big.

i won't say it ;)

the charles quote, was more unclear and even the centers with high blocking was pretty sure in the overall rating think and the perfomes ain't that bad too, maybe because the relativ skill different in the game.

+ Juice will every thread juiced in the help forum with a direct to the newbie help, who ask for center skills and their blocking is fourth important skill ;) That what i say little effort to review.

if it doesn't exist already (it's hard to tell because blocks aren't clearly shown in the match viewer) i'd like to see a sort of intimidation factor with a player waiting for a while to take another shot after being blocked

BTW, i always thought what the OP suggested was already in the simulation

Also i see shot blocking as you
I make an example
Dwight Howard blocks 3 shots for game,but if i play inside against him,i always make more attention to his shot blocking,so i take worse shot than with another player and my percentage will be lower
So Howard it's a good defender,also if his have not the defensive tecnique of other defenders as Marcus Camby or Theo Ratliff
so shot blocking had to work as a multiplier of inside defence,if i have a poor defender,it have not so effect,as well as jump range,if i don't what to train shot blocking why of potential cup my choice is however right
we assume as shot blocking as a factor which multiplies inside defence

Inside defense and shotblocking are nto the same thing. Yo can be good shotblocker without good man to man defense (and otherwise).

but it affec t each other, i would say. For me god shot blocking means to know when to jump and when not.

Andrej Kirilenko was in the young years a guy who made a lot of blocks, but also open his defence afters fakes a lot. So he was in my point of view no good shot blocker at this time, even when he have good stats.

But i know good defenders, who have a good timing in jumping for the blocks but normally don't make clear blocks but, affect the direction of the shot so that he miss more often. Inside defence was in my eyes the positing of the player good fouls, and to know when you better stand still.
