Gameplay Experience
One ball, a hoop, a clock
You are not calling a playbook. You are beating the person in front of you.
Contact is part of it
A late jump into their body is a miss, not a foul call you will get.
Short games
You can play again immediately. That is how you learn the release.
Gameplay Mechanics
Move + steal + shoot
Those three actions are most of the roster.
Release window
The shot is a timing bar or a button. Either way, late is a brick.
Specials
If there is a dunk meter or a three-point line, use it when you actually have space.

Tips & Strategies
-
01
Get square to the rim
Sideways fadeaways are for when you are already open.
-
02
Steal on the catch, not on the dribble spam
A steal of home is rare. Do not get cute with two outs.
-
03
Do not chuck from half court after one miss
The next possession is shorter if you take the mid-range.
-
04
If they only drive, sit in the paint
Give the three if they cannot shoot it.
