CHANGES AND UPDATES
Free Play Ball Control

• New ball controls are now available in Free Play
  
  • We want to thank everyone who contributes to BakkesMod and their hard work for inspiring this feature addition
• You can now control the ball in five different ways with the push of a button:
  
  • Take Possession: Places the ball in front of your car
    
  • Start Dribble: Places the ball on the hood of your car
    
  • Pass Ball: Sends the ball towards your car
    
    • Sometimes the pass will be just left or right of your car, depending on the angle and position, so heads up!
• Launch Ball: Behaves similarly to tip-off in Hoops
  
• Defend Shot: Shoots the ball towards the closest goal
  
• These new controls can be used together
  
  • Example: You can use Launch Ball to send it high, then Defend Shot to mimic a shot from the ceiling or high up on the wall
• Ball Reset continues to work as before (return to the kickoff position)
  
• Defend Shot and Pass Ball don’t always work as intended in some arenas and modes, including:
  
  • Double Goals (Rocket Labs)
    
  • Utopia Retro (Rocket Labs)
    
  • Dropshot
    
  • Hoops
• [Nintendo Switch] When using a single Joy-Con for controls, Free Play Ball Control is disabled
