Park dribbles
Park dribble moves now require a Hall of Fame Tight Handles badge to be used. Park dribble moves when calling for screens have also been disabled in order to prevent confusion. This has received some flak from players. Some argue that there should be a separate option to turn off park dribbles instead of having to downgrade the badge to gold, while others want this feature available right from the gold tier badge.
