Adams Details Expected November Slump
Adams said fans should prepare for lower output in November across the NBA and NFL, with both players and coaching staffs affected by time spent on the game.
“Look at the NFL, look at all the leagues, and watch them plummet, mate. Just for the month of November, performance is gonna go down; it should come back up.”
He added that most athletes will complete the game and return to form by December.

The comments extend an existing joke about NFL quarterback Kyler Murray's play declining around new Call of Duty releases, now applied more broadly to professional athletes facing GTA 6.
While professionals are expected to prioritize their careers, Adams noted that some may sacrifice normal rest levels during the initial launch period.
Separate Miami Heat Arena Promotion
Construction finished on a Vice City-themed sign atop the Miami Heat arena in Florida, funded by Rockstar at a reported cost of $975,000. The installation is scheduled to remain through the end of the year or the team's home season, though any wider NBA marketing partnership remains unclear.
