New Patch Dropped here’s my thoughts.
1. Limitless is back to 75 of what it was pre patch 1, but speed ups and slowdowns are now at limitless as well.
2. Ghost contests are completely gone, but you can fake step and still speed up their shot(semi open might be the hardest shot on the game to make)
3. You still fumble the ball every play.
4. Speed ups and slow downs are 100% still in the game
5. Dribbling feels a bit more responsive the inputs at least on PS don’t feel as bad, so xbox should feel amazing.
6. When you run out of adrenaline on defense and reach again, you fall on the ground yes you slip and fall on the ground.
7. Heat check and 2 way are now in pro am private.
8. The shooting buff to open shots isn’t for limitless shooters, it’s for shooters shooting on the line, played with a 60 3 ball lock and he couldn’t miss if he got paid.
9. Rebounds don’t have the same calculated 3 bounces anymore, but them shits look like it’s a different 3 bounces now.
10. Passing i will need more time to test, in park shit looked and felt ass, my 5s testers said it felt good.
11. Airspace is still King
12. 96-99 block is God if airspace is king it counters all driving dunk, anything lower, driving dunk trumps block.
13. 2x rep tokens added?
14. Cheaters got 500x better because now they can shoot from lim and make contesteds, and meter works in events and non private pro am now?
15. I played 17 games, only made about 7 contesteds all together, 1 solid, 2 lights, 4 bothereds. Contests outside of cheaters weren’t dropping at an abysmal rate.
16. Fades back to 60% of what they once were, sorry i didn’t get to test spray can take i was using zip code and calibrated.
17. Bad shot selection doesn’t pop up on any open shot anymore.
18. I played 10 cheaters in 17 games.
19. The ai defenders not guarding shit nomore
The Rockets have one of the best starting fives in the league:
Fred VanVleet (former champion)
Amen Thompson (one of the best two-way players in the league)
Kevin Durant (he’s Kevin Durant)
Jabari Smith Jr. (former lottery pick)
Alperen Şengün (top-five big)
Polymarket is only giving them a 3% chance to make the finals 😳
The Lakers had Anthony Davis go up to 268 pounds to play center
He says he was originally coming in at 250 and HATED playing that heavy
He requested a center so he could return to playing PF, but got traded instead

I’m very excited for the Kings front office to finally have to explain why Keon Ellis wasn’t in their future plans.
Fans & media deserve a real explanation as to why a team with 12 wins didn’t prioritize a 26 year old that half the league wanted.
@AKRileyy5 Kessler imo makes the most sense because he’ll be out till next yr, you don’t want to ruin your position in the draft. If not Kessler then wait till the off season and make a decision then.
