The Basic Tutorial is gone and Academy Mode is here.
In Academy mode, you'll learn Layups, Dash Passes, Saves, and Side Swing Passes in addition to the maneuvers taught in the Basic Tutorial.
You'll need to play Basic AI Match, which is Academy level 6, before you can access Quick Matches and Private Matches.
2) Changes based on feedback:
We've reduced the window of time a user can join a Quick Match to reduce the likelihood of a user joining a match that is already heavily gapped.
