that's good but a trial for flopping seems a bit much. in-game penalties are fine
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

i enjoy the framing of this
no way to know how things will go until we're actually living it, but his thoughts at the end have me slightly optimistic that the changes will be good

this is actually a cool way to break down new sports stuff. like i don't know anything about basketball and this all makes sense

Re: sports
it's neat that i actually know the quarterbacks / teams responsible for some of those archetypes. not that i watch keep up with football but America's Game is an excellent series.Crunchums wrote: it took me like 15 googles but i was able to find this for you https://jessegalef.com/2021/02/05/thing ... me-design/
i also like the idea of, like, you need a team that's going to win the big one, obviously, but you also need a team that can beat the two jank guys at your local fnm matches.

Re: sports
it was mentioned in the video but it seems very true that his size is what makes this shuffle work so well
fadeaway jumpers always seem like a really huge tradeoff, takes away any real chance the defender blocks it, but makes the shot much worse because you're in motion in the opposite direction from the basket and often with some random component, not directly away
the shuffle looks so minor in that regard, he's barely backing away at all, so there's not much drawback, but then he's so huge that it's still unblockable. being huge seems to 1) make it so the defender has to respond to a smaller forward motion to set it up and 2) make it so only a small backwards motion is necessary to make it essentially unblockable against a defender that responded to 1 at all
