Yes. Sig gathers as an independent move are gone. Some of the animations were moved into the escape dribble moveset... like the shamgod.

Good post. The engineer responsible for blocking did some work on this I believe... at least with regard to goaltend violations. But yes, ensuring that blockers are aware of where they are in relation to the rim/backboard is something that we can add to the list.

I would also imagine that the timing window for disrupting moves by those poor offensive players would be much greater as well.

6-8 moves, wow thats like double the number of moves I get down.
