BB was built to resemble the real life basketball or at least closer. Even when your opponent plays motion (mid/long range focus), the shotblock numbers are still huge.

And when a guard goes inside my bigs are there to humiliate them.

did you actually see this happen? Most of the time i hardly notice the shotblock helper. I wonder how the GE comentator will say , whether the guard player is defended by the bigs, or still defended by it's main defender.

And don't forget to mention two things. The guy you linked had 4.9 BPG last season. AND if you check blocking rankings, he's second in his league, fourth in division, 17th in his country and only 534th in the world. So there are at least 533 other players who average (equal or) more then 3.4 blocks per game.

You are mixing two different things up here. The 4.9 BPG are from last season and all the other things from this one.
Last season my Sutherland was the Nr. 1 shotblocker worlwide for more than half of the season. He finished as third. So there were only two! guys better than him.
This season he has less blocks because of my two trainees who has both SB 15+ now. They take a lot of blocks away from Sutherland. 4 of the best blockers in my league play for my team. Last season there were only 2 in the top10.

I've been training SB a lot and it definitely is dependent upon the level of the oppision. Using mostly M2M this season, my center with 15SB is averaging 2.5 per game. Also, he has only allowed opponents to shoot 15% inside against him. This is in D.II. I plan to get him up to 20SB so ill let you know how much it helps my team when that time comes.

In the real life basketball, I once read a comment from Dikembe Mutombo (when he was with Sixers). When he was interviewed about low shotblocks against Milwaukee Bucks (Ray Allen, Glen Robinson, Sam Cassell), Mutombo comments was, "Bucks keeps shooting from outside, I can't block shot if they don't drive to the lane"

Yeah, I often see this defensive rotation in BB which at first i though it was a disfunctional defenses due to fatigue. However, the rotation stood as it is. Rarely shotblock happens. That's the reason i was pretty worried to put in a 17SB and he still averaging a mortal 1.5 - 2.0 bpg each season. I think I kinda regret rooting for shotblock party, but these 15-20SB shall receive a special treatment.

The importance of the shot blockers is to keep players out of the paint. If you watch a game with a high shot blocker, the team will struggle getting shots off in the paint. Even when using LI, the team will tend to shoot more jumpshots. Therefore you won't see the blocked shots like expected, but the shot blocking is doing its job making the other team take less successful shots.

Shotblocking shall have greater rating in producing shotblocks. It does affect the shooter think twice to release their shots, but this attribute shall belong more to Defense rating than SB. "Menacing" players like Dennis Rodman & Ron Artest, they are such players that are able to lower down opponent guts/confidence to shoot the ball, or make those Star players (Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan) work for their every shot.

Probably I got a player with #1 rating worldwide and guess what....shotblocking is his main skill ;) This should be worth to consider when you plan to train a center in a future.
