The following was sent to Inven Global via press release

Joycity announces a major update coming to 3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound on Steam manifesting and implementing changes based on a lot of feedback provided by the global, dedicated players since the official launch in July.

The first big update provides a graciously improved AI-based, matchmaking system to provide a better and smoother gameplay experience. In addition, the practice mode will provide a new playground for new and veteran players.

One of the most often requested features is finally being added: An in-game ‘friend system’ and the ability to chat during a match. The update also introduces Big Flow team characters, new outfits, celebrations, and more.

The AI system will now allow players to play against A.I. controlled characters at a skill level that emulates the target player skill. The system has been expanded from what was originally 3 basic characters to include all characters, adding variety to the challenge. 

In Jefferson’s Practice Mode, new players can practice crucial gameplay skills such as rebound or jump shot by clearing the missions in order. Also, players can now send a friend request in-game and manage the match directly with the new, in-game chat system.

For players hungry for new content, the DayDreamers’ court and outfits will be added. The update will also introduce 3 characters, Saru, Ginger, and Big Joe from the Big Flow Team. More than 50 new outfits and 15 celebrations will be included in the update.

To celebrate this massive update, various events will be available. For example, In the [Butterfly Dream Mission] event, players will perform various tasks by playing on the new DayDreamers’ court and collect ‘Butterfly’ items to redeem for crucial in-game items like the ‘Intensive Manual’.  Players can take advantage other exciting events such as 3vs3 play, leveling, and many others. Rewards will be provided simply for participating.

Joycity is also calling on all veteran players from the prior version of the game to return by way of the new ‘Come Back Steam Friends’ event. Any players who played the inaugural version of ‘3on3 FreeStyle’ on Steam in 2018 will receive special rewards valued at $20 if they come back to ‘3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound’ during the event.

“We’ve put in our best effort in listening to player feedback, and doing our best to improve our game after the official launch. We will continue to listen to them and continue to apply improvements to the game. We’ll continue to add more characters, outfits, and content to deliver a more satisfying experience.”, said Young Ho Park, CEO of Joycity.
