ill talk it over with the other BBs but i'm tempted to put these issues to rest by releasing a BBwide average number of blocks per game, before and after the new GE.



it is possible to release those stats? Because till now i ever get less blocks on the game day of the Bnundesliga, then before the changes.

I'll keep on Spamming, i have take some data into account:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-1807513/Blocks.xls.ht... *


Result:

Last year league average was 7,53 blocks per game from each team, the last three game days(24 games) in our league have an average from 5,23 blocks each game which means a decrease of the blocking number about 31%.

If i remember the first game day right after the engine change which i calculated in my head(at this game day i got very good 7 blocks per team), we got 25% less blocks with a sample of 32 blocks.

Still this isn't a huge sample, but it ain't that small that you should expect an increase or even no huge decrease like here.

Edit:* To control the data Game 1 was on the top of the conference side, and the first four games are the left conference the next four the right one.

Small sample size and opposition skills all should be taken into account... but, in my last 3 league games I have had:

10 blocks (against RNG), 23 Blocks (against PTB), and 13 Blocks (LI).

The 3 games prior to the change I had:

7 Blocks (LI), 12 Blocks (OT, RNG), 6 Blocks (Patient).

So... I'm seeing more Blocks personally. But, there is a lot more that goes into the equation.

it is possible that some teams or leagues, particularly those with relatively low blocking skills compared to the average offensive skill set, might release fewer blocks in the new GE. We changed the way we did blocks, making it blocking skill more important, and tuned the overall level such that the average team got more blocks. The average buzzerbeater team is getting more blocks, this i'm sure of, though I can conceive that a particular buzzerbeater team might be getting fewer blocks because his blocking skills are bad relative to his competitions offensive skills, and the changes have exposed this. This was part of the reason we preannounced that blocking would become more important, so that teams would have a chance to pay relatively more attention to the blocking skill of their players in anticipation of this change.

i got some player with Shot blocking, i think with a lot above average even if they don't have the same like the offensiv skills of the opposing players ;) Even because i bought then because of the upcoming changes.

And i don't see a raise in my team, i would go for a degression.

@Forest:
A the altered shots new? And how often do they apear, iin comparision to the blocked ones?

Teams have been profoundly ignoring Shotblocking for seasons, and now complain there aren't enough blocks after the changes? The changes were not intended to make your mediocre blockers like Kareem-Abdul Jabbar.

They ignored it because is a useless skill.And it's ok.Could be more useful,but it will be always a secondary skill

Not useless at all,but certainly much less useful ,than many other skills(almost all)

as the bb said no one really has any good blockers so no one really knows the effectiveness of shotblocking
