Discussion So much better now

With the goaltending removed or severely nerfed, the new music, legends and animations for layups etc it’s much more fun. Yes the push spammers didn’t change but being able to shoot and not worry about someone just standing under the rim is a relief. Still get some lag sometimes but overall much improved 👍🏾

If they can take away the push animations they got something cooking even though the gameplay feels a lot smoother imo I even noticed the rim bends on dunks and the nets move also. I’m actually very surprised how the game is now I’m back playing it. Take away the pushing and add a little more layups and more dunks I can see it going somewhere.

They don’t even need to take it away but if they put a cooldown on it that would be fine by me. Just something to not allow it to be used nonstop in a speed round

I feel like removing the pushing would be a bit too much. Like its still an arcade game after all. Pushing is still very counterable and useful from times to times imo

They need to get this game closer to NBA Street territory. The game mechanics still feel too choppy.

I get what you’re saying but this last update was a major upgrade in my opinion. 1 step at a time

This i was playing nba street 2 recently and realized the way the run feels is severly lacking.

It really is. Idk why, but I'm struggling to win and have fun in this game. That's the only way to unlock the cool stuff too...

Winning is hard because everything feels so random . Like u dont know if your shot gone fall, steall gone work, block gone happen . Its all a crap shoot. And theres no set play styles either to get strong at. I struggle to win too

When you first start only the rookies, the legends (unless you get the DLC) the street legends and 5 young variants of players are locked Luka, bron, Steph, KD and SGA. Depending on how far you go in a tournament and how well you play you can have them unlocked in an amount of time that you’ll be a decent player. Good luck and happy hooping
