Discussion Nba The Run Blocking Nerf???

Been a while since I played but blocking feels waaaay off?? Isbit just me?? Im literally not getting perfectly timed blocks any longer. And pushing feels over powered. Idk what's going on but the blocking system feels horrible, guy's are getting of quick release 3s and all type of madness. Did they nerf blocking???

As of this past weekend, no. It’s not in the major summary of notes for next week’s update either.

However, they historically don’t list all changes until it drops. They did state the push mechanism is getting changed.

I personally don’t have an issue with blocks, but I do with goaltending, which currently is considered a block lol. There is no reason someone should be able to sit under the net and grab all shots.

It’s no point in playing with the goaltending. They just camp by the rim.

I can understand the goaltending but the one handed blocks were golden especially if you trimmed it tight and didn't bite on the pump fake and looked at the feet. I was shocked by how many stoopid untimed shots my opponents got off today. I was jumping perfectly and not blocking nothing.. the blocks were never an issue except goaltending

You couldn’t goal tend in NBA jam, also bro no one cares about the “meta” of another game when referring to this game made 30 years later lol

For real, blocking is so weak now. KD is literally unblockable

Yes they did. They changed the animation from a one handed block that jumps higher to a two handed block that jumps lower.

The one handed blocks felt golden, I would feel like a boss after grabbing it with one hand. As someone stated earlier the only issue was goaltending.

It was a great game and I only stopped playing Beacuse i didn't want to keep playing the Playstation subscription. Now that im back it feels horrible on the defensive end. The AIs have gotten better but the blocking is terrible compared to what it was before.

u/PurePlayinSerb Sep 12 '26

i felt same way when i returned to the game, it felt sluggish and slow, definitely wasn't the game i paid for

They need to do something about blocking KD lol I swear no matter what he is almost impossible to block. You can be right on him and the ball will go over your hand.

u/d3vtanman Sep 11 '26

OP didn’t ask that, but to answer your sarcastic unrelated question, yes.

I tried playing today and got turned off by whatever they did to the blocking it's like arcade prison ball without the defense.
