2. Oct 8, 2026Patch

   v2.0

   The big pre-Season 2 patch: changes to every mode, with a gameplay overhaul across shooting, dunks, rebounds, passing, steals and Takeovers.

   Platforms: Consoles first. PC and Switch 2 shortly before Season 2.. Build: Update 1.008 (1.008.000 on console).

   What changed

   Shooting

   • Open shots from quality shooters are more effective, mid-range gets a boost in competitive modes, and overall three-point percentages were slightly rebalanced.
   • Improved how shot range is determined for several shooting badges, so badge activation is more accurate.
   • The Bad Shot Selection event no longer triggers incorrectly on greened layups and dunks or decent mid and 3PT attempts.

   Dunking

   • Reduced missed dunks when Dunk Timing is turned off.
   • Fixed dunks and alley-oops that could be missed even with correct timing on the dunk meter.
   • Contact dunks succeed more often at every badge level of Rise Up.

   Rebounds

   • Improved missed-shot rebounds by reducing multiple rim bounces and near-out-of-bounds results, and fixing a leftward bounce bias.

   Takeovers

   • Shot Artist, Calibrated and Navigator have adjusted timing windows.
   • Navigator and Airspace make defense matter more, and Airspace and Detonator reduce dunk frequency and success.
   • Rim Guardian now counters Airspace.

   Passing and catching

   • Fewer missed catches and collisions with defenders, better pass responsiveness in a body-up, and slightly faster pass speeds.
   • Fixed the inbounder being incorrectly called for out of bounds after an inbound pass.

   Steals and blocks

   • Steal animations are better matched to the stealer's rating, and low-rated or out-of-adrenaline defenders are penalized on failed attempts.
   • Reduced the frequency of shooting fouls on blocked shots.

   Dribbling

   • Fixed Behind-the-Back Escape commands randomly giving a standard behind-the-back dribble.

   Crew Divisions

   • Match difficulty was adjusted to match current REC settings.
   • Shot Meters are enabled for Crew Divisions (and Event Center) matches.

   PC

   • Advanced Shader Delivery support, an Xe Low Latency setting fix and Eras filter improvements on Steam Deck.

   Nintendo Switch 2

   • A custom image drawing tool and improved single Joy-Con support.

3. Sep 17, 2026Gameplay update

   Gameplay Update

   A server-side gameplay update that needed no download: contests, standing dunks, steals and game speed.

   What changed

   Shooting

   • Strengthened defensive contests. Well-contested and low-percentage shots are less effective and wide-open shots got a slight boost.

   Dunking

   • The Rise Up badge gives a larger benefit at Gold tier and above.

   Steals and ball security

   • Fixed an issue where lower-rated defenders, and those with depleted adrenaline, got on-ball steals more consistently than elite defenders. Steal rating is now rewarded on ball contact.

   Game speed

   • Game speed was increased and standardized across all modes.

   Applied by returning to the Main Menu. No version number was given.
