Steals and Blocks

[SergioK4L]

This is one of my biggest beefs with NBA2K9. I've tried every single slider and I'm always disappointed with the crazy unrealistic amount of steals and blocks. Last year, the average amount of steals was 7.3 and blocks were 4.7. Steals ranged from 5.5 (lowest) to 9.2 (highest) and blocks ranged from 2.6 (lowest) to 6.7 (highest).

Jump shots from the perimeter should almost never get blocked. I'm so frustrating to run a pick-and-roll or swing the ball around to an open shooter to see him get his jump shot blocked. Very unrealistic and it's turned me off playing this game.

I'm just curious, how many steals and blocks do you get per game and which sliders are you using? Shouldn't the Steal Success, Steals, Blocks and Verticle slider be a 0?

I ve been tinkering w/ this too, but i play as the sixers so its difficult b/c they should get a fair number of both steals and blocks due to personal and philsophy.
my team avgs are: (through 25gms)
11.2 steals and 5.9 blocks

So on the surface thier not "TOO" bad 9.0 and 5.5 would be better. however the spread of the stats player to player are not good, for instance brand and Dalembert both avg 1.5 steals per game and iggy only avg 1.7(2+ would be ideal) same w/blocks willy green and dre miller shouldnt be getting blocks.

now this is all somewhat knitpicking but to each his own, it does get under my skin a bit, but im still having a blast playing this game! best sports game ive played this yrafter tweaking the sh*t out of it ofcourse
