![]() Ubisoft went with the latter and it resulted in a game that is very fine tuned in what it does well but doesn’t do much outside of that core gameplay. Either lean into a party game atmosphere and make sure it’s pure chaos at all times, or play it straight and turn this into a game with extremely competitive aspirations. ![]() With such a simple premise there were really only two directions the devs could have taken this. First to five points or whoever has the most points at the end of the time-limit is declared the winner. Shoot the ball through the goal and your team has scored.
