Hey Everyone, This update introduces a number of player reworks and balance changes. The main highlights are reworks for Tyreze Habiburtun, Alpen Sengoon, Mikael Bridgez, Cody Whide, Ougee Anuoby, Benn Simonz & Andreu Wyggins, as well as minor but impactful changes for Vik Wobamyama, Cabe Cuningham, Nicola Jokeric & Paszcal Siacam. [h1]Passive Changes[/h1] Accuracy bonus for Clutch Scorer, Center Specialist & Rim Runner has been reduced from 20% to 10%. [i]These were too strong and had a disproportionate impact on the game.[/i] [h1]Player Changes[/h1] [h2]Legendary[/h2] [b]Kevyn Dureant[/b] Salary decreased from 41 to 39. Offense decreased from 83 to 80. Playmaking decreased from 80 to 76. Stamina decreased from 73 to 71. [b]Lebrom Jamez[/b] Salary decreased from 37 to 36. [b]Nicola Jokeric[/b] Salary increased from 39 to 40. Removed passive [b]Rebound 2: Get +1 BONUS PASS[/b]. Removed passive [b]Defending: Get Star Rebounder[/b]. Removed passive [b]Defending: Teammates have Outrebounded[/b]. Added passive [b]Team Defensive Rebound 2: Get +1 BONUS PASS[/b]. [b]Paull Jeorge[/b] Salary increased from 30 to 31.

Stamina increased from 82 to 85. [b]Cabe Cuningham[/b] Salary decreased from 25 to 23. Removed passive [b]Steal: CLEANSE 1 debuff from your team[/b]. Added passive [b]Team Block 2: Get +10 TURN METER[/b]. [i]While this seems like a small chance, the addition of Turn Meter on team block will significantly increase Cabe's performance, as it should enable him to get 1-2 extra activations per match in a block deck.[/i] [b]Carl-Anthonny Towes[/b] Salary de creased from 26 to 25. Added passive [b]Trait: Calm[/b]. [b]Mikael Bridgez[/b] Removed skill [b]Defensive Leadership II - Give OFFENSE DOWN II to all opponents[/b]. Added skill [b]Challenge Opponent - Give OFFENSE DOWN II to direct opponent and make them Shoot 5[/b]. Added passive [b]Aura: Opponents have Ineffective[/b]. Ineffective gives players -15 Offense. [i]A much needed rework for Mikael. While his old skill seemed strong, the fact that he activated late made it nearly useless, as most the opposing team had already used their shots. Moving this effect to the aura, as well as giving him a new ultimate skill that synergies with his existing passive should make him much more reliable and fun to play.[/i] [b]Vik Wobamyama[/b] Salary increased from 23 to 25. Offense increased from 64 to 68. Playmaking increased from 50 to 57. Stamina increased from 67 to 70. 3P Chance increased from 18 to 23. Removed passive [b]Wing: Get Wing Specialist[/b]. Removed passive [b]Elbow: Get Elbow Specialist[/b]. Added passive [b]Center: Get Center Specialist[/b]. [i]Vik is now fully build around being on the center position. His old passives were cool on paper, but basically forced him to have 2 useless passives.[/i] [b]Nicholas Claxtom[/b] Salary decreased from 24 to 23. [b]Khawai Lenard[/b] Salary decreased from 33 to 31. Defense decreased from 81 to 79. Steal decreased from 15 to 12. [b]Kairi Irwing[/b] Offense increased from 70 to 72.

[b]Alpren Sengoon[/b] Rarity increased from Epic to Legendary. Salary increased from 15 to 26. Offense increased from 60 to 66. Rebounding increased from 50 to 70. Stamina increased from 69 to 73.

Added passive [b]Opponents Substitution: Get +5 STAMINA[/b]. [i]A hopefully fun rework that should lead to the creation of a new archetype in the gape. We hope you guys like it![/i] [b]Jaeson Taetum[/b] Stamina increased from 84 to 88. [b]Iulius Randl[/b] Salary decreased from 26 to 25. Offense decreased from 74 to 66. Block increased from 0 to 3. [b]Nikolo Vucevik[/b] Salary increased from 26 to 28. [i]The move archetype currently has too much freedom in deck building. They can generally incorporate 3 legendaries, as well as most support cards. With this relatively small change the intent is to limit deck building so that move has to choose between 3 legendaries with worse supports, or 2 legendaries and better supports.[/i] [b]Tyreze Habiburtun[/b] Salary increased from 28 to 30. Stamina increased from 74 to 77. Increased shot count for 1st skill from 4 to 5. Removed skill [b]Inspire - Give a player on the bench +50 TURN METER and +2 BONUS SHOTS.[/b] Added skill [b]Passing Star 0 Pass 3 to each adjacent teammate.[/b].

Add passive [b]Pass 2: Get +1 BONUS SHOT[/b]. [i]While the old version of Tyreze works in our game, it diverged to much from the real player. The goal with this rework was to transform him in the best passer in the game, while still scoring 15+ PPG.[/i] [b]Jarem Jacksun Jr[/b] Salary increased from 21 to 22. [i]Another small hit to the move archetype.[/i] [b]Sion Willimsun[/b] Salary decreased from 28 to 27. [b]Brando Imgram[/b] Salary decreased from 25 to 24. [b]Jaylen Brawnson[/b] Salary decreased from 24 to 23. [b]Jael M'Bid[/b] Offense increased from 80 to 82. 3P Chance increased from 2 to 7. Added passive [b]Attacking: Opponent has CONTACT II.[/b] [i]A small boost to his scoring that also reflects reality, as Jael is one of the most fouled players.[/i] [b]Tireze Macsey[/b] Salary increased from 22 to 24. [i]Tireze is over performing for the cost. This should bring him more in line with hist real impact on games.[/i] [b]Damean Lillart[/b] Salary decreased from 32 to 31. [b]Dearon Focs[/b] Playmaking increased from 76 to 79. [b]Donatas Saboniz[/b] Salary increased from 21 to 24. [b]Breadly Beel[/b] Salary decreased from 34 to 31. Offense decreased from 68 to 66. Playmaking decreased from 76 to 70. Stamina decreased from 77 to 72. 3P Chance increased from 22 to 26. [b]Deavin Veasel[/b] Offense increased from 63 to 64. [b]Paszcal Siacam[/b] Salary increased from 26 to 28. Changed Exhausted immunity passive to grant it permanently, not just when behind.

Added passive [b]Trait: Get all BONUS SHOTS and BONUS PASSES denied by {Shutdown} on direct opponent.[/b] Added passive [b]Trait: Calm.[/b] [b]Anthonny Eduards[/b] Stamina increased from 85 to 90.

[i]Ruzzel decks are generally very oppressive due to all the extra turn meter generation from him missing. While this is generally OK, it should come at a higher premium.[/i] [b]Denis Schredder[/b] Salary increased from 10 to 11. Increased shot count for first skill from 4 to 5. [b]Terri Rosier[/b] Salary decreased from 14 to 13. [b]Brondon Niller[/b] Salary increased from 13 to 14. Playmaking increased from 41 to 48. [b]Jaylen Jonson[/b] Rarity increased from Rare to Epic.

Added passive [b]3P Make 2: Get +1 BONUS PASS[/b]. [i]Burry was just overturned on his shot counts, and had the potential to snowball in a crazy way as a pass target. Made shots generated more shots, which generated more shots, and so on.[/i] [b]Brandom Clark[/b] Added passive [b]Trait: Calm[/b]. [b]Jalon Williamz[/b] Salary decreased from 12 to 11.
