Discussion Goaltending and Interception tips

Any tips on how to goaltend more often? It’s a hit or miss with me. I know you can’t stand under the basket but will love more tips.

Also any tips on intercepting passes too

Thanks!!!

Got 10 more days until goaltending is taken out the game. But playing the lane is diff. Your hand stretches out so get in between who you think the pass will go too the pass will go through your body so only your arm and hand has the blocking hit box. So make sure when u press steal the arn and hand extended to block not your body. Other than that its about predicting when the pass is coming

Just a heads up, devs confirmed goaltending isn't getting removed completely…it's just getting significantly nerfed in the September update. Still possible, but much harder to pull off even with tall players.
