troon_villan Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Played a few games of hoops and romped most of them. The corner is your friend. Hopefully come up against some better competition later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I really enjoyed it, shame its only 2v2, but having now played a few games the court is very toight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I only play doubles now when I'm playing solo. Six on one pitch is too cluttered imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2016 If anyone I was playing against did anything on that video I think i'd quit immediately. What's the point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point? It makes me want to stop playing games for ages and just practice flying so I have some sort of control over what I do in the air. I don't need to be at that level but i'd love to be able to make those sorts of mid air adjustments more regularly. But the effort required to get to that level would be insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah, those guys have played many thousands of hours on RL and SARP combined, so it certainly does take a lot of time. But then again, I probably clocked over a thousand hours on SARP and can aerial nothing like that. I did play with JHZER a number of times tho.

Davkaus Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well, this new mode separates the men from the boys, doesn't it? I'm definitely a boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2016 I like it. Takes dribbling out of it quite a lot, which in our VT games levels the playing field considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's really interesting to play at the moment because I haven't really figured out a consistent way to score apart from the "layup" method of hitting it up the side wall when it's near the end, but neither has anybody i'm playing against, so there really is a lot of fumbling around that doesn't happen in the standard football mode.

troon_villan Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I approach the hogso method when playing ranked. I sit back for the first 30 seconds and see what my teammate is like and modify my game to suit. Problem with hoops, is that it's frantic from second one due to the size of the court. So it's good fun but not sure it'll hold me for long. Already back on doubles last night and the court seems huuuge when you go back to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find that several days of Hoops affected your soccer play at all? I did the same, playing a night of doubles after playing Hoops basically exclusively since it came out. I feel like it actually rounded my game out a bit. I'm better at putting in a dangerous cross and my aerial work is has improved significantly.
