Speed? Is it faster or slower? I wouldn't worry about it since it goes back to normal in a stealth update.

Can we stop the "These are pro players so this shouldn't happen" argument? Every single time it leads to actual evidence of it occurring in actual real life games. It's a dumb argument that is super flawed.

Damn Utah with the missed layup lol

But I agree... It's such a flawed logic. I'm really tired of seeing it. Especially from these My Park guys..... Me me me.... That's all they care about.

Really happy to see LeBron misses those too.

People were missing layups because:

1. The layup timing changed and most people wouldn't know that unless they seek out the information or play enough to figure it out. Once they do and practice it, the layup %s will go up.

2. People are starting the game with players that have low ratings, as those ratings get higher over time and those players get more badges the percentages will naturally go up. Same thing with MyTeam, the average player right now is much lower rated than it will be in a month when better cards come out, which means we will have buffed layup success AND much better players throwing the balance off again.

3. Using the right stick is a HUGE difference from using just the button, which most causal players complaining about this are probably using. Using the right stick gives you animations that you don't get with the button that often avoid contests completely, making it so you don't have to adjust release timing caused by a contest, and also avoids the lower % caused by the contest altogether thus increasing the success %.

4. There is also no layup meter, only a vibration, which many people may not know exists if they play with vibration off, like I did. They may not know what the vibration means since vibrations were previously used for player contact and bumps that happen in the same context that the new vibrations happen in. They may also not know if the vibration means they are supposed to release the shot AT the vibration or AFTER the vibration, with no shot feedback to calibrate to.

5. The game JUST came out. the percentages should be as low as they will be right now and naturally go up as people get better, buffing them now means that peoples players, cards, and skills will get better over time, throwing it out of balance the other way in the long run.
All Facts here!!

it's got slower this time but I see that unusual 2x speed boost way more than before. what I hate about this inconsistent game speed is that it changes the timing of control. very annoying.

If Mike does this he needs to tone down fouls on contests man, or buff contests at the rim altogether.....seriously....how do we protect the rim?

Game is playing cool . Lot of tough shots going down but it’s not causing us to lose.

Wish my SF with defense secondary would get more blocks. I rarely jump ( almost exclusively hands up ) but when I do it’s like an automatic foul.
