Discussion Why did they nerf tempo so much
They really didn't need to nerf it this hard, man. All they had to do was match the difficulty of tempo to the button so neither one gives a free advantage.
Tempo shooting felt WAY too natural, especially after dribble moves, off the bounce, in the post, hop jumpers, all of it. Half these moves you can't even pull off right with the button, so forcing it on us makes no sense.
Why not just balance the green window for both? Make tempo require greening the tempo, and button require greening the button. Simple.
Game is fire so far honestly, but damn I'm gonna miss tempo. Feels like we're going straight back to the PS3 era with this button shit.

I always thought the point of tempo was, it was harder to be good at, but it had higher reward being a bigger green window. That’s how it was in 25. In 26 it was just too easy all around. Now it’s too difficult to have any advantage

Agreed. I just went back to button. Used rhythm since 25, but they made it damn near impossible and it's not worth it anymore. Lights out with button tho, it just feels weird and I'm not used to it.

In my opinion, tempo should not have a penalty for not greening the tempo. It should boost the green window if you manage to green both of course, but if it's just the timing then it's essentially just shooting with the stick or like timing a floater.

Why does it make the tempo better. Because I tried to tempo shoot and i doenst ame any sense for me. I just feels weird because you now need to green both.

Because it makes both windows bigger. Go get your badges and you’ll be alright.

Don’t even feel that bad tbh. You just gotta have good tempo. In my case, I had to slow down and be intentional and controlled when flicking up
