It's impossible to shoot against a taller defender

This is one of the most annoying things in the game. I can't seem to shoot the ball with a perfect release without getting blocked by a taller defender. Usually if it's a guard vs guard or a forward vs forward, I get the shot off correctly. However, when I try shooting with mismatched players such as a guard vs forward outside the paint area, my shot is unrealistic blocked.

I've never seen so many blocks in a game. One time the CPU got 8 blocks with Tim Duncan. I can deal with blocks in the paint because that's where mostly it happens in real life but when you're shooting from 15 feet, a taller defender can block you easily. My CPU shot blocking sliders are set to 0 and it still happens.

I don't really understand the jumpshot blocking slider. I mean, if you jump, and he jumps, and his hand is there, what is the slider going to do? It's not gonna make the ball go through his hand is it? (But I suppose that could be a feature of 0 blocking. ). When I shoot over a taller defender, I usually fade, or shoot it off of a pick, and thats usually with Kobe, or not at all, because I don't like to force shots like that. I just be patient and wait for the shot to come to me.

The problem is, it's TOO EASY to get blocked when shooting jumpers. Even when you do the fadeaway, it still gets blocked. Whats worse, even after a a screen by a teammate, I STILL get blocked. Or when your defender goes to double team somebody else, and the ball goes to you for a jumper, and it still gets blocked. Very unrealistic.

Has anyone tried playing with the blocks slider set to 100 (seriosly)? Who knows, it may be better that way...

lol, you know, I was actually thinking the same thing. Makes me curious if Earl Boykins can block Shawn Bradley at the three point line. Hmm...

Another Q about blocking shots -- with user sliders set to 0, do you manage to block some of CPU's jump-shots? I haven't played many games, but in those I've played I couldn't block a single jump-shot (I've had only 3-4 blocks on opponent's lay-ups/dunks).

Nah, It's simple. I just lean in and Slap that Ball. I've blocked about ALOT of Jumpshots. Especially in The All-Star Game...I even pull a Tayshaun Prince.
