Adrenaline Boosts. 3 per possession

Boosts are consumed every time you perform a hard go or explosive sprint launch. Once your three boosts are gone, you’ll notice that your speed and acceleration decrease significantly for the remainder of the possession. As with dribble combos, it’s important to play smart basketball and be efficient with your movement rather than zig-zagging back and forth aimlessly trying to get around the defense.

ON-BALL DEFENSE

For the floor game, on-ball defensive movement and body ups received a major refresh with new content that more accurately depicts today’s 1-on-1 player interactions. You’ll also notice a new indicator on the ball handler when in guarding position. This is the new defensive shading mechanic. The three bars on the indicator represent three zones: Straight up, Shade left, and Shade right. The zone the defender’s in is shown in red. If the ball handler attempts to attack a red lane, they’ll get cut off, lose their dribble, or fumble the ball.

Great defenders can anticipate where the ball handler is attacking and will now be more clearly rewarded for it. The shading system works for both on-ball defenders guarding the perimeter as well as the post and does a good job communicating to both the offense and defense why collisions resolve the way they do.

So many nikkas thought they was nice spamming the D-Rose size-up, win rates going right down the shytter :heh:.

I feel like on-ball defense was actually good last year, just that the small guards were too fast especially coupled with the animations they had.

Curry slide wasn't a good move this year though, they added a delay making it too easy to clamp up nikkas using the move.

This was actually in the older 2ks. Might be slightly different now, but i definitely remember there were 3 zones for shading defenders.
