i dont get it, just because your not getting the stat doesnt mean its not there.

probably your leagues inside skills are really so much better.

i have a pg who has respectable blocking and guess what his averaging 2.1 blocks a game

that is josh smith like number!

I guess the point of the game engine and the associated statistics is that it should model the RL game as best as possible (this maybe not be true for the game as a whole, because nobody wants to own a team like the Clippers). I think the problem is that the way shot blocking currently works, its not like RL.

Um, yeah. Did my fingers type somewhere something I didn't quite mean?

Instead of getting rid of shot blocking why not make it more helpful? For example, shot blocking improves a player's inside d or acts as a type of cap on inside d.

I like the number of skills right now. Without SB, inside guys would only have 3 key skills to train.

no matter what you say!

shot blocking is part of basketball and cannot be taken away!

i dont know what his thinking for this, but there is a excitement going to this, you know your defense is working for you!

i hate to say this, but this is like the thread saying about assist though he got prominent or proficient level he still only get less than 5-6 assist per game!

this shouldnt be taken out!

My guess is that SB helps your defense as well. IRL I find it really annoying if all defenders are keeping their arms up, always trying to block the shot. They make it harder for me to take a shot, isn't that part of shot blocking as well?

Wouldn't it be possible that shot blocking contributes a little to both OD and ID? More to ID than OD probably, but wouldn't that be realistic?

I don't think you can conclude wether SB is a valueable skill or not by just looking at the BLK/Game.

I agree with this...but the game engine model needs to do a better job approximating the real game and when it does, it should produce bpg stats that are similar to RL statistics (like it does with the other stats).

still it has to adjust

dalembert can block 7 times a game but at times not even one

nor did okafor

this dimension is important as to play this game, its amazing to see a last shot attempt being block on your stat sheet!

I don't have the exact info on this, but if you ask me which skills should go into the calculation of, for instance, inside defense I'd add blocking in the formula, yes.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

yeah i think so too... blocking will be more effective if it comes with a prominent (or at least strong) inside defense. like speed... it's not included in the ratings, but it is formed by having high handling and stamina/game shape (IMO)

i'm not sure if you could gain blocking from ID/OD... though i always thought that maybe it does.
