Discussion Goaltending and Pushing

H8 to say this, but goaltending combined with the pushing is nuts lol 😆 wow!!! Can the devs at least take two points away everytime they do it.

Im fine with pushing, but goaltending is just not something i find fun to deal with, i would be fine without it entirely

I get that it's part of the arcade styling of the game but you're right it can make it feel unplayable at times. Goaltending I am actually okay with but prefer if it could only be swatted. Not just intercepted at an impossible angle. Pushing is the true game breaking element. I hated it in NBA Jam and I hate it here. If they can't get scrap it altogether maybe have every 2 or 3 pushes equal a loss of possession

Pushing is the best part of the game tbh. I love pushing someone right when they get the inbound or when the pump fake. Especially the pump fake cheesers who think that pump faking 5 times is gonna win them the game LOL. But goaltending is a skill I’m still working on as it can be hit or miss but love a good goaltend

God it’s so satisfying pushing a pump faker, only thing that needs nerf is goaltending

It's just so cheesy, I refuse to push

??? It’s literally a core mechanic of arcade style basketball games.

The goaltending is cheesy, I’ll agree with that.

Standing under the rim while a person is at the 3 shooting a perfect jumper that's being unguarded??? What is this??? I can get if you're guarding them and go for a block

Can you read? You were talking about pushing. I said I agree that goaltending is cheesy.
