I'm currently training two centers. Not sure if it will help but you can take a look:

Player A: 14 ID, 8 SB
Player B: 9 ID, 6 SB

Let me know if they'll be any help to you :)

Unfortunately those players will not help much although I appreciate the offer. Similar ID with different SB is ideal.

Alright, thanks.

here are my 4 players which might help you-
player 1:IS-15 SB-8 (averages 1.3 blocks per game)
player 2:IS 14 SB-8 (averages 1.7 blocks per game)
player 3:IS-12 SB 11 (played 1 league game and blocked 3 shots and averages over 3 blocks per game in the cups)
player 4:ID-14 SB-6 (averages 1.3 blocks per game but thats because of 9 blocks in 1 game)
player 1 and 2 are C and PF starters.player 3 and player 4 are slternate backups for league games and starters for cup games(player 3 has just played 1 league game and usually plays complete 48 mins in the cup game)
if they are of any help then u can tell me.player 2 and 4 are the closest to ur demands...

Those players could be useful. If you wouldn't mind sending me a private message with either the players names and those stats attached or those players Identification number with those stats attached.

I am assuming that with each IS you meant ID :p

Oops I don't know what was I thinking when I wrote IS instead of ID.
And yes I will mail u their stats along with their names

Small sample size, but I think the best way to do this is as follow.

Get the team that has the two Players you are looking for. Similair ID, big gap in SB. Now, schedule weekly your Scrimmage against this team. Same tactic every week. Difference is, one week the SB guy is at C, the next you swap him with the other.

Now some things will still change as any training pops on either team will affect this, and Game Shape/Stamina will still be in play. But Ability won't change DRASTICALLY week to week, and you'll get to face the same C each time.

Note: Even a Pop in Passing for the other team, or OD for your team, will affect this. Why? Passing improves the Shot, so now the C you play against will have a better shot than the week before, and OD means more pressure on passes so the C you play against will (A) not get the ball as much or (B) will get it but in a worse position to shoot than previously. Seriously, ANY pops on either team will change things.

Still, if you can get some one to make you the Scrimmage every week and assure that all the Settings are the same, you can swap your C and PF to 'test' SB and Help Defense.

Wozzvt has some good info about shotblocking. You should check out some of the blogs he has made on the NT offsite about shot types and defense. I didnt read everything on this forum so i dont know if it had already been mentioned. Also another thing i dont know if its been mentioned, shotblocking also disrupts those "driving" layups and shots. I didnt notice it at first but when Wozzvt mentioned it I started looking for more shotblocking and have noticed a big difference in my team defense. Even a couple guys with 10 SB can really help a team out down low. On those inside shots its a mixture of ID and SB against IS that will be the deciding factor on made shots from anywhere inside whether its a shot or layup or dunk. Like I said Wozzvt was the one that figured this up using a formula( I believe a regression formula).
