addedOur newest update, version 1.2.0 brings some exciting new features to the game:
addedPump Fakes: By simply tapping the shoot button, you'll initiate the shooting animation but it will be cut short. Time it properly and your defender will be left airborne like a floating fool. The most effective technique with this new move however is to pump fake directly after a pass. Then, you can wait for the defenders to bite, and take off towards the hoop. Just like the savvy SG below:
changedQuarter Breaks: After the warmup, quarter 1, and quarter 3, the game has displayed a few tips and tricks. Starting now, you'll have the chance to read from the instruction manual. After the quarter ends, the manual will crack open to a random page and you can get some serious insight. Find out how specific formulas work and improve your skills.
changedDifficulty Improvements: After several comments in our forums and through our Discord channel, we have decided to pull back a little bit on the difficulty. Old school style doesn't have to mean old school difficulty! Now, you'll have the ability to run story mode with a regular human level skillset.
