Do you want to sex Mutombo?

What alot of you aren't realising is the fact that even if your player doesn't get many blocks, if he has a high shotblock stat it is all adding to your defense ratings.... Essentially the stats a player gets has no hinge on how the game is played it is more about the ratings created through having high skills of the relevant skills on your players!

Players stats are generated by the game engine to add a human interaction aspect basically.

The SB have in this game more importance of what should, and because of it, it should be or diminished or removed of the game. I for example have 3 players NT (Centers) and thankfully they have in very low levels SB thanks to it they do not wage very much as others NT players. And I can confirm that they have the level as any player of an excellent NT. What I want to transmit is that besides the little importance that SB do, it influences in excess on the wages of the players. If my player had 8 or 9 in SB surely he would wage $20.000 or $30.000 dollars more.

I would like that SB would be removed from the game!

That's most likely overstating things.

I would like that steals removed from the game, it makes also no sense and maybe height of the players too - that would be nice... the game should be more clearly and not so profoundly :-)

uhm, I think there is a small misunderstanding here. If I wanted to have sex with Mutombo I wouldn't play this game but other pervert games on the net.

And to the guys who want Shotblocking away from this game:

Shotblocking belongs to Basketball as stealing, dribbling and shooting does. People who ask for the benefit of their team to "diminish" shotblocking have either never played ball, or are those kind of players who get blocked ten times per game and therefore hate that word S H O T B L O C K. But that's just your problem, guys, you can not change or define a sport new, just because you don't like it. I still don't get your point: If you are happy with your players, then keep them. If you want to sell them, you seem not to be happy with them right? I would say: change your tactics, train your players and win some games. Let the Shotblockers block you or defend yourself, but don't ask to ban an attribute that belongs to the game.

If you don't like basketball, go and play soccer manager games. there you won't get blocked and there are different rules. Ok?

chill mate! chill!

go grab a cold can of pepsi or coke :D

well SB is a specific skill compare to others like jump shot or inside shot it can a fade away, it can be a dunk or a hook shot etc.

well if we eliminate this SB as trainable, we need to come up with something else . . . . we just cant take away something without something to patch it up or else they got only 3 skills to train :D

actually SB though how much strong it is but if your opponents skills is also better then its more likely your bothering his shot than making much progress in blocking!

im not sure here though just my thoughts :D

Sorry if i missed something, but:

isn´t it possible, that SB is linked maybe to ID? And for that reason, it´s a little like an "invisible" skill, like HN and DV?

What i want to say: I never read during a game something in regard to Handling or Diving (like: "wonderful dribbling from X" or "Amazing ball-controll from Y") but still i feel that many skills (like JS or IS) are only pretty good in combination with these two.

Couldn´t it be possible, that this is the same with SB? That for example, even if someones throw is not blocked, this throw is not as good against a good blocker than against a bad one? And for that reason, SB is closed linked to ID?

And if this is not the case, maybe we should better discuss to link it to other skills, then rather eliminate it, as just 3 "pure" Inside Skills would remain.

P.S.: GM-Lord of Doom wrote:

I spend a few weeks on block training, and noticed pops in inside defence and rebounding more then in blocking. It might be coincidence, and I need to gather more info on it, but it might be that the 'seconday' trainingskills with the blockingtraining, aren't as 'secondary' as secondaries in other trainingtypes. If this is the case the blockingtraining might be a good way to train these 3 inside skills in a prety good way.

If it is too difficult to link it to other Skills, maybe it could be done in training, that the 2nd training of SB (ID,RB) needs shorter time?
