Hoops update is live on PS4

But what about the version where my controller still has rubber on the analog stick?

 

[Soulflarz]

can't wait to play basketball for 15 min then go back to beating my head against a brick wall in solo standard

get on steam, waiting for you

But what about the version where my controller still has rubber on the analog stick?

my ds4 on pc would like a word with you

 

[Soulflarz]

WE UP ON PC

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

It's gonna take some real finesse to attempt to play this without waking up my gf...

I'm pretty scared to try tbh, but damn I really don't want to wait until morning

[Backlogger]

How come nobody is in the queue for Hoops?

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Yeah I'm gonna have to puss out on this one. But I shall keep viewing this thread for impressions. Doubt many will be playing for a while anyway.

How big is the update?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Out on xbone too

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Oh fuck it I'm sleeping. This is like Christmas. If I sleep now it won't be long til I can open my present!

 

[Nabs]

just played my first match online. it was tough to wrap my head around it, but I'll get it!

It's really addicting once you start getting into it and improving.

 

[Soulflarz]

its hard

 

[smokeandmirrors]

woah

Hoops is really fun, makes me wish i was better at aerials though...

 

[MrPanic]

Yo, Hoops is amazing. Hopefully this will get popular enough that they'll add a ranked playlist for it eventually.

 

[Grinchy]

Wow, it's up already? I thought I'd be waiting until tomorrow. Downloading the patch now.

 

[Mike Works]

Wish they added some new menu music.

 

[Soulflarz]

Wish they added some new menu music.

THEY DID (came in here to post about it, heh)

 

[Mike Works]

Ah, they added a new song. Why not make the game start up with it?

 

[Soulflarz]

Ah, they added a new song. Why not make the game start up with it?

So that we don't have to hear one song at startup over and over, that'd be really ann-
oh

edit: anyone else hate the zoom in on goals?

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

UNDERWATER

 

[Soulflarz]

and I'm getting the infamous lag spike finally :/

 

[Hamster Plugin]

That new menu music is great. It's Mike Ault and Abandoned Carnival - Escape from L.A. (Instrumental Mix)

Seems like the instrumental mix is made specifically for the game, because the internet only has the original one. Instrumental is much better because the original has some annoying woman talking shit.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

basketball is far more fun than I thought holy shit

 

[fiction226]

Scoring and defending the hoop IS satisfying but the new map is just WAY too small for me to be fun. It's like playing in a shoebox (and I thought Utopia tiny!) No wonder they made it 2v2. If there were 6 cars no one could turn without hitting another car or a wall. So sadly not a fan. Wish they made the map bigger. Something between what it is now and the standard maps would be perfect.

 

[Salsa]

hoops is good

the worm topper is hideous

 

[Salsa]

I appreciate this driving through the goal that was present in the rocket labs too

it makes things fun (that shot probably wasnt even going in tho)

 

[Unicorn]

Hoops update comes out tonight!!

OH DAYUMMMMMMM

 

[fiction226]

Love Cosmic. Dribbling up ramps is awesome and smacking grounders into them to pop the ball up for aerials is great. Gonna be a great map for practice due to all the juicy bounces it creates.

 

[Soulflarz]

Played a bit of hoops
will try to get this all working on my pc again

SHOULDVE JUST STUCK WITH THE DRIVER CRASH OCCASIONALLY
maybe its a joke
cause driver crash
RL

...no?

 

[Tawpgun]

Played a few rounds of hoops.

It's decent. Need to get a hang of it more. Think the court should be bigger also

Any videos of cosmic?

 

[OdysseusVA]

Witcher antenna should be double sided 😩 Looks weird with just the back

this is my view
for a mode that looks like it should be all wall dribbles and such, it really doesnt have much of it at all.

 

[Tawpgun]

Saw a stream of cosmic it looks really cool

Just noticed OT now keeps track of how long you have been playing... or at least I think this is a new feature? Once OT starts time counts up and there is a plus sign next to it. Maybe it's been there and I'm just noticing but if it's a new addition it is awesome.

This was in hoops (it's growing on me... court still too small though) so maybe it's just this game mode?

It was added in today's patch. Think it's for every game mode.

^unholy

 

[Salsa]

physical hoop also fun

 

[Nete]

Oh my. Hoops mode is as good as bad I am on it. Fucking aerials

 

[Grinchy]

I haven't actually played Cosmic yet, but from streams I opened up earlier, it looks like they really neutered the map shape

I'm sure they had their reasons. Maybe it just plays better with these changes. Gonna check it out next time I play.

 

[bjaelke]

Well this is a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

 

[Salsa]

ball touching the rim after timer hits 0 counts as the ground and the match ends

unacceptable

Yeap. Other than that though I really like the new mode and had a blast playing a few rounds. Saves feel soo good

 

[TheKeyPit]

Anyone on Xbox want to play ranked dubs?

Trying to get out of this gold division and keep getting handed some real stinkers for teammates

Wanna add me on Xbox Live? I can be a good teammate

Silly basketball mode. I'd rather play my custom super-accelerated low-gravity harry-potter mode.

 

[Mike Works]

I can't get tip-offs for the life of me.
