Hi Slappers, we're happy to announce that the wait for Season 3 is almost over!
With the new season, we're making some changes to existing features and introducing a big new one.
Slapshot Showdown will be an in-game event you can participate in for a limited time. Pick one of three teams (Green Goats, Pink Puffins, or Yellow Yetis) to support during the event and every goal, pass, save and other points you earn during matchmaking will contribute to that team. You can earn rewards by signing to a team, scoring points for them, and for your team winning the overall event. Completely free. More information will follow!
Season 2 rewards will be credited when the new season starts. This season, we're giving out some fancy capes! To qualify for a reward, you need to reach that rank at least once during this season. You can find which rank that is in Player -> Career as "Highest Rank". There's still some time if you're close to ranking up.
With the new season, we've also taken the opportunity to tackle some areas of the game that need some love after 6 years of Slapshot. Notably, we've upgraded the visuals of older arenas while improving their performance at the same time. We've also reworked the spectators to make sure the arenas look a lot fuller while not eating away your frames either, as well as a small main menu facelift.
Lastly, we're also taking the opportunity to rebrand our season passes. We'd like to be able to experiment with different types of content (like the Slapshot Showdown) instead of releasing a new pass every season. To avoid confusion with ranked seasons, we'll be renaming the season passes to contracts. They'll work the exact same way as before, just using a different name.
PS: Another neat feature we're working on is custom lobby presets for leagues. Alongside a new setting to adjust the bumping strength, you'll be able to quickly select the presets for EUSL and SPL right from the lobby creation to make your competitive life a bit easier. If you have any other preset suggestions, feel free to let us know.
The exact date of the update will be announced soon! ːreboundː
GLHF,
