Suggested order
Read the first-session page before a build. Use the PC chart before an older video that tells you to shoot with Space. Use Builds and Badges together, because a threshold is the reason a stat exists.
Which [ALPHA] Practical Basketball guides are published?
First session on the ALPHA court
Join the ALPHA place, finish the Learn PB drills that are actually in your build, then pass and shoot before you lock a build.
PC controls that two charts agree on
PC inputs that two November 2026 charts agree on, plus the shot-key and G-button conflicts you should not memorize from older clips.
Controller and mobile controls
The PlayStation and Xbox buttons two charts share, and the small mobile touch description that does not name a full HUD.
Dribble moves and when to use them
Dated dribble inputs, which chains were not rechecked on alpha, and how to pick a move that actually creates a lane.
How to read a Practical Basketball build
How the build creator is structured, which published sheets have real numbers, and which famous names still have no attribute table.
How to spend badge points
How badge tiers, OR versus AND lines, and the eight disagreed thresholds should change the attributes you raise.
Courts, queues, and a practice block
Learn PB, gyms, Blacktop, Ranked Rec, Park, and Plaza, with the 2v2 and mascot gaps left visible.
ALPHA, OUT NOW, and the dated counts
How to tell the busy ALPHA place from the OUT NOW community, using dated player counts instead of a live ticker.
What the code reports actually agree on
Why 100M and RELEASE are listed, why some pages still say the button is missing, and how to tell a bad string from a missing menu.
