Tips and tricks
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Because this is a Webgl game, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if it stutters.
- Because this is a Basketball game, release at the top of the jump.
