Interesting patch. Glad to see defense getting some attention.
Question for you, @EA_Aljo. Does stick tie-ups using the A button count as a net battle? I ask because it's one of the main tools I use when playing defense and was trying to figure out a build that would make net battles easier to win. Would this update mean that performing stick tie-ups would be more effective with the Bouncer x-factor? Also, are shoves in front of the net affected by Bouncer?
Stick tie-ups count as a net battle. The change to bouncer won't make it easier to engage in net battles. Once you're in one though, you'll get more benefit. Shoves wouldn't directly be affected unless you're engaged using the Y/Triangle net battle. They could get a bit of a boost indirectly since limb are stronger.

Thank you, that's helpful information.
On a related question, are there any attributes that affect the ease of which stick tie-ups/net battles are engaged?
