Ok, I got your point. As a real time coach myself I have to admit that shotblocking is not something I would make a practice plan for. Shotblocking has a lot to do with the players evaluation for and reaction to the situation of his opponent wanting to take a shot. And that is what you practice when you do defense drills drills. So I have to agree with you, that practicing shotblocking as an extra training is a little bit "incommon". So I would suggest to give an extra training that is based on reaction and reflexes, which trains stealing and blocking.

Which brings me to another point what I am missing in this game: the skill of Faking (shots, passes, cuts).

I guess it is already in the skills they have now.
For instance a player with high passing skills will also be able to fake a pass quite well...
