Patch notes for The Gold Update in Basketball Zero

Apart from a Miracle-rarity Style and Zone, the Roblox Basketball Zero developers have brought multiple new cosmetics and implemented several fixes to the game. Here's the complete changelog of The Gold Update:

Gold Style

• Street Dribble does two cross-overs and a spin to let you get past your enemies and flex your basketball skills.
• Pass is a follow-on skill that does a quick elbow pass to a teammate.
• Needle Pass is a super-fast, unblockable, and unstealable pass that's flashy as hell.
• Pressure is an off-the-ball move that works a little like Pressure Defense, with the main difference being that you can't get Ankle Broken. If you're 1v1 against an opponent, you'll shoot the ball and have a chance of making it!

Gold Style Awakening abilities

• I'm Better proves to everyone that you are HIM, and does a sick dunk.
• Chain Handles performs a dribble combo that you can control, and then splinters off into one of two moves: Drive and Fake Drive.
• Drive dribbles straight forward, and then performs a contact dunk if you're close enough to the hoop.
• Fake Drive does the same dribbling animation, but performs a snatchback dribble to the 3-point line. Your opponent falls over, allowing you to either shoot the ball if you're close enough or pass it off to your teammate.

Gold Vision Zone

• If you pass to a teammate running towards the basket, they are forced to dunk.
• Increased dribble speed.
• Increased passing speed.
• Extra dribble.

Cosmetics

• A gorgeous Golden Backpack, blinged out to perfection.
• A haunting Skulls Goal Effect to spook out your competition.
• A sparkling Golden Match Player Card.
• Carry Duo Emote, for when your friend has just had enough and can't do it anymore.

Spectating Minor Revamp

• Spectating has been given a general overhaul, fixing the menu UI randomly popping up, cutscenes not playing properly, and being able to spectate players who returned to the lobby.
• Nametags have also been added to make it easier to see who's on the court, color-coded to teams!

Summer of Fixes

• During the summer, a mid-week patch will be pushed out every week. This will be in an overall effort to improve game stability and keep players hooked.
