I'm curious to see what they do with the design of the floors for the in-season tournament. They have a corporate sponsor now, so that in itself probably means they'll be less 'busy' this year.

Speaking of floors, I really liked the LED court at the all-star weekend. It wasn't used that much. I believe they used it to indicate which rack players in the 3-point contests selected as their extra-points rack. I think they had some stats or visuals presented on the floor another time; I think maybe some special effects type stuff around breaks in play, perhaps. My memory's rusty lol. But they didn't use it much. I'd kind of like to see 'power up spots' appear on the floor during the all-star game, at least until we get a competitive and fun to watch ASG

I think they kinda hinted last year they’d tone down the courts a little. I think some worked really well and others were a bit head scratching so hopefully they do tweak them a bit.

I agree on the LED court! Think it’d be cool to include more effects like you said.

Can’t remember if it was just an alternative broadcast thing from another game or even just a demo but they showed a green/red effect around the shooter depending on their shooting %s at different spots as they dribble around the court and wished I’d seen that more since.
