This version offers the much-requested ability to curve the ball on volleys. The following is a list of changes and enhancements:
o Default mode is now 'Enhanced', which allows for spin on the ball by moving the paddle during volleys.
o To use the original gameplay dynamics, go into Settings while not in an active game, and switch off Enhanced Mode.
o Scoring in Network games is fixed.
o Network games still use Classic Mode. (Curving shots is not yet offered over Wifi.)
o Paddles no longer decrease as drastically in size, making it more interesting to use spin dynamics.
o Enemy AI tracks shots differently in Enhanced Mode. Classic mode still uses predictive tracking.
o Scoring has undergone the following changes:
- 200 pts are awarded as an accuracy bonus for hitting the ball in the paddle center.
- During enhanced mode, it is possible to obtain a 700 pt curve bonus on volleys that score.
- Points are no longer awarded for paddle contact alone. Must get an accuracy bonus or score a goal.
- All scores are reported to the same Global Leaderboard, but players using Enhanced Mode will have higher-scoring games.
Enjoy!
