It's rare (mabe <10%), but I think it goes in in English as well. Sometimes it also leads to a foul and FTs though.


Please find an example. In the year+ that I've been annoyed by this (and so checked virtually every example I've seen live), I have seen no counterexamples ever. No fouls, no scores, ever. 100% block.

Edit: Unless you're a BB, there is no point in just asserting that there are counterexamples. I've never seen any and I've probably checked more occurrences of it than anyone. It's not possible for me to prove that there are no counterexamples. I can't check them all. All anyone else needs to do is provide concrete evidence of one counterexample.

I would say that the shot is only blocked about 95% of the time. But I have never seen a make or a foul.

Here's a different angle on the "dunk in a crowd" issue.

Assuming the assertion that in the default English version, this always corresponds to a miss with a blocked shot... why not kill two birds with one stone. Assuming that the defender name is available as possible input to the display text (as it is for many of the other shot attempt messages), a very common user request could be at least partially implemented by rewriting:

"Offensive player goes up for a dunk in a crowd."

as

"Offensive player's weak layup attempt is rejected by defensive player."

... or something along those lines.

Again, the two assumptions above would have to be true. There may be other good reasons to not do this.

I have fixed this issue... "goes up for a dunk in a crowd" should now result in some made and some not made dunks...as should several other descriptions of dunk attempts. Some dunk attempt descriptions make it clear that the dunk is made and those will always result in made dunks.

I think you should decide between two lines:

one is: all the dunks are making point with the exeption of dunk in a crowd.

the other is: no one dunk is a 100% sure point.

before we knew that a dunk was a sure point exept for a foul and exept for the dunk in a crowd.

I think that the dunk in a crowd shoul be like you modified, but the other dunks as well.

I still haven't seen a counterexample since you posted this. All "dunks in a crowd" that I have seen have been blocked. Can anyone else provide a link to one that isn't since Forrest fixed it?

Sorry to be blunt, but a lot of people have claimed this, and no-one's ever shown it.

If someone can provide a link to a match report, or at least state a time in a match where they saw it, I'm interested. Otherwise, I'm not.
