First session

  1. Do these in order
  2. Open the ALPHA place — Place ID 80681221431821, creator Practical's Games. Confirm that before you follow a code or a store price.
  3. Pass and shoot first — Number keys pass. Hold E shoots. Tap E pump-fakes. Lock a build after those feel different.
  4. Keep the agreed PC chart handy — Two November charts agree on the core keys. Older clips do not all use the same shoot button.
  5. Pick one job — Demigod, Sharpshooter, the slim do-it-all, and the Diesel center are separate sheets with real numbers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do codes 100M and RELEASE still work?

On 2 Nov 2026 those two strings were listed as working, with matching coin rewards. This wiki has not redeemed them. Some pages still say the Shop or Store codes control is missing, so treat a missing button as a build difference, not as a typing error.

Which Practical Basketball listing is this wiki about?

The ALPHA experience by Practical's Games, Place ID 80681221431821. A second public place titled OUT NOW belongs to Practical's Physics V2 and is not the listing this site documents.

Is Practical Basketball free to join?

The public game record lists no price to join. Cosmetics and passes can still cost Robux. No pass names or prices are published here.

Are the PC controls final?

No. The official description calls this an alpha, says nothing is final, and tells players that the control list lives in the community server. The charts here are the inputs that more than one written guide agrees on, and they still need a live recheck.
