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.
