🎮 Gameplay & Mechanics: What's New in 2025?

"We wanted to bridge the gap between arcade fun and simulation authenticity. The 2025 version lets you 'feel' the difference between a shifty point guard and a powerhouse center," – Lead Game Designer, Alex Chen (Exclusive Interview).
Streetball Royale Mode: A Game-Changer
This new 8-player free-for-all mode drops contenders onto a single iconic court (like Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex outdoor courts). The last player standing after a series of quick-fire 1-minute matchups wins exclusive cosmetics. It's fast, chaotic, and perfectly suited for mobile sessions.
