📜 Upgrades and Adjustments 📜
【Stealing adjustments】
1. Adding the increased possibility of “being stolen” alert: The color of the circle beneath the player will change when holding the ball for too long, being knocked down when driving, or dribbling again to alert the player to pass.
2. Increase the Steal rate of passing while running: Increase the Steal rate to Steal from a player who has been stolen for more than 3 times in order to fix the problem of using Pass to buy time.
3. Fixing the problem of not being able to be Intercept under certain Pass Skills.
4. Decrease the Steal rate under normal circumstances, and increase the rate when the rival has been stopped. Slightly decrease part of the untechnical Steal rate to prevent players with high Steal ability to overpower the whole game. This allows players without Steal skill to have a better chance at Stealing when stopping the rival.
5. Reduce steal rate when the players using back-dribble skill type in order to facilitate them to use the skill in front of the players who has high Steal stat
【Shooting adjustments】
1. Slightly decrease the compensate hit rate after the Middle to prevent players to still possess a high hit rate even when under high interference.
2. Increase the interference value in each stage of Mid-range shot. Players without Block Skills were helpless on the defense side since the hit rate is too high even under interference, thus by balancing the value will make the gaming experience better.
3. A heads-up will be added at the bottom of the screen to alert the player if the hit rate decreases due to the far distance of the 3-pointer.
【Attributes adjustments】
1. Slightly increase Steal rate that affected by Control
2. Increase the speed of the Shooting Guard: Slightly increase the speed of the Shooting Guard to make it harder to be defensed.
3. Increase the RES value of Kakuta profile, Takasago profile, Uozumi profile, and Oda profile: Allows Center with a lower RES value to perform a more efficient offense without worrying being not able to get the Rebound after missing the hit.
【Jump ball adjustments】
Increase the accuracy of the timing when clicking the jump ball button to make the action base more on the actual player control rather than only the values.
【Boxing out adjustments】
1. The judgement of Boxing out will be improved. When either side hold on to the boxing out button, the players will immediately start pushing against each other and the Rebound contest rating will be triggered. This allows the Center to still be able to move around when getting stuck by other faster players (Those are not positioned in painted area) from behind if not holding the button when running towards the paint from a further distance.
2. Fix the bug of not being able to use Rebound during Boxing out.
【Blocking adjustments】
Slightly decrease the Blocking range to prevent players from being Blocked even when shooting from openings.
【Accelerate type Receiving adjustments】
1. Slightly increases the turn-around speed when Sprinting and decrease Sprinting time by 1 second.
2. Improve the Receive skill under special circumstances such as Sprinting by letting the players to have to hold on to the button rather than only clicking it to trigger the movement to prevent trigger by mistake.
