February Community Thoughts and Feedback

[[GM] Blitz]

We're back at it again with the Community Feedback! Just like the last time, we are asking you guys for your feedback and thoughts about the past month, specifically the return of the Mega Pass Event.

Naturally, all other feedbacks are also appreciated! We might address your feedback in a similar fashion just like in the January Community Thoughts and Feedback thread with a livestream from a GM. So drop all of what you need or want to say, or even just showing some love down in this thread!

[""Elite""]

Forum spammers are ruining the fourms, West players get a rebound advantage for 5 years, fix those problems then we will talk about monthly events

[KobeBlaise]

Can’t stop faith.

central server or stop asking for feedback

1. JCE must acknowledge that the global version must be patched and handled differently than Korea and China because of our unique problem of high ping due to one server in a large country which leads to unique problems to our version.

2. Tournaments every 3 months, once per season routine, this must never be missed.

3. Remove XIGNCODE and use "Easy Anticheat". XIGNCODE is too weak.

4. Stop using Amazon AWS servers FS2 needs Central server. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ... REASON WHY JCE CAN'T FIND SERVER IN CENTRAL WITH AWS

5. Card and Attribute viewer must be implemented in our version, Korea and China FS2 have already had this feature for more than a year now. ........................... IMAGE OF ATTRIBUTE VIEWER

6. Crew League's divisions (Ultimate, Pro, Division) must be removed due to the low player base within Crew league. Crew League must be incentivized with high end rewards such as Card Sub-Attribute Changers, Premium Card Sub-Attribute Changers, Prisms, and Wish Cards. Many players only play FS2 if the events for a certain update are good. Events are evaluated by players by how valuable the rewards are and how realistically obtainable they are. If the events for a certain update are bad many players will not play for those 2 weeks and wait for the next event cycle. Crew League must be the way for high end players to always have an avenue to obtain the items they need to continue progressing their characters. These valuable items being Card Sub-Attribute Changers, Premium Card Sub-Attribute Changers, Prisms, Premium Prisms, and Wish Cards. Card Sub-Attribute Changers, Prisms, and Wish Cards should be plentiful while Premium Card Sub-Attribute Changers and Premium Prisms should be much harder to obtain.

7. Remove Avoid screen entirely.

8. Iso must be slightly nerfed.

1. PF's Turn Around Fade Away III shot motion must be slowed down and success should be nerfed slightly; PF Turn Around Fade Away III shot +48->+42
2. SF's Level 7 Boxout swarm mastery choice in Option Lob Catcher mastery tree should be "Box out swarm -6 3pt success, Long Layup range -6, Boxout out swarm angle +48" instead middle shot attritbute -6, long layup range -6, box out swarm angle +48.
3. SF Option Lob Catcher mastery Lv. 1 should be "Dash rebound, Long layup -6, 3pt success -6 instead of middle shot attribute -6, rebound +24, running speed +6"

9. Dash speed in the mastery must be nerfed by 40% (PF/CT/SF)

10. With the latest Balance patch the line between DG and PG is blurred as we have adopted the Chinese balance patch. DG is identical to PG in passives that are supposed to be the strengths of PG.
DG SP Steal II Steal motion +36 -> +24, SP Diving Catch II Diving Catch Range +24 -> +12, SP Intercept +36 -> 24. DG has identical passives in PG specific trees, this small change should at least differentiate the two a bit closer to their identities.

11 PG's 3pt Success nerf was a bit too much. PG's 3pt Shot I "3pt Shot Success +12 -> 24"
This makes more sense especially because DG has SP 3pt Shot II "3pt Shot Success +36" (which is fine)

12. SG's L Cut desyncs often, this must be fixed as it can be abused too often even when unintended.

13. Add a shot meter to Steel Will and if the user places the shot marker within the green zone it succeeds.

14. The Mega Pass rewards this time were fine, good job.

15. Lucky Chance and Perfect Pair are very well received events that should happen couple times a year. Card Sub-Attribute Changers Wheel of Fortune event is also very good.

1. Everyday NA server gets laggy from 4 pm - 6 pm PST. Logging into the game or get into the lobby will take forever during that time. All I see is "connecting please wait" for at least 10+ minutes. Fix this.
2. Implement a system that punishes players from ALT + F4 before the game starts and before 4:00 so chinese players can't keep disconnecting whenever they face a team that they can't beat.
3. Get rid of xigncode3 and get a better hack-preventing program. Xigncode3 is useless.
4. Central server for NA. Before Fs 3on3 died on steam, they had a west and an east server. How does a game that made no profit and lasted shorter than FS2 was allowed to have 2 servers for North America when we've been begging for central NA sever for FS2 for years? Stop with the "we've tested central server and it wasn't as stable as the current server" bs. When central server was here for 1 week, it felt amazing compared to the west server that we have now.
5. Stop giving global version the same balance patch as korea and china version. Global version is the only one that gets left out when it comes to devs communication with players. We play this game more than y'all do. Listen to us.
6. Start selling special skills like outlet pass, diving catch pass, and euro step in skill shop like how it is in korea.
7. Make "Basketball League Badges" obtainable through normal matches and not through "Rucker park" and "Waste plant". It's already hard to search for other teams in normal matches when you have high elo. Barely anyone waits in line just to play another team on Rucker park so what's the point of having a "Basketball League" that no one participates.
8. Put a limit on raffle event so that you can only win a certain amount per day. Everyone would have a better chance of winning instead of the same person winning over and over.
9. Have tournaments every 3 months.
10. Check every team's character so that they don't violate the rule and get away with it. Only some teams got caught because people reported them when it should've been a required procedure for y'all to check them.
11. Ban chinese players that use a 3rd party program to crash the other team. Just like how some teams weren't able to connect to play against chinese teams in tournaments. They force the other team to disconnect so that y'all would disqualify that team.

1. Replace XIGNCODE with Easy Anticheat. It's been proven time and time again that XIGNCODE is hot garbage.

2. Remove the items that were transferred from the regular shop to the mileage shop also remove the point ball items from the mileage shop

3. Remove all male clothing for females in item ball for females. & remove all female clothing in item ball for males. Increasing the odds of getting something. Whenever a male gets female clothing that item turns into points. That's my theory at least.

4. Card/Attribute Viewer

5. Tournaments every 3 months

I agree 110% with Foe. This is what you call a veteran player. The dedication and time he took to write this.

[Milks]

Bruh move the servers tired of bragging about winning the most tourney as a big in the east coast

[Shotclock]

My one suggestion would be to add gifting in the game. That way players can host there own events and thus give rewards to the participant.

There is gifting actually with items from the shop, but only certain clothing and nothing valuable

[K.Hipster]

SF needs to be buffed.

give us alley, give me my +7 blk back, give me my skills back, and give fade even more success since it's a skill all positions can use and do with more accuracy.

(or just undo every overt balance patch for the only balanced position)

SG needs to be nerfed.

take away the backroll 2 speed, get rid of their vd, take away their dash speed (or give penalties), lower success rate for 3pt fades (only SGs), needs to have a weaker Pull up or shortened layup range.

PG needs to be nerfed.

take away their steal success, there intercept success, and especially there fingernail success.

PF needs to be nerfed.

get rid of mid success by a lot, or make it build specifics with drawbacks being an "offensive" PF, make backward step speed slower or fix the dsync. Take away that atrocious flying block.

SW needs to be nerfed.

Yes, we all know SWs are bad except the select few, that doesnt change the fact these guys have every skill in the book.

get rid of 3pt success, or make it a build with certain drawbacks and select skills. Take away a good 30% of their skills. Get rid of that 'F' dunk button unless you give it to SF's also.

--

can you also give jump pass some moderate success or recognizable pass patterns that dont fail other than just because?

it took u 5 years to get to this point we're at now, and you had more courts in the first year than u did super senior, so when u gonna add more courts?

--

give us GM LUCY back, and give us GM TRIFECTA BACK, and get rid of GM Blitz like the EU forums ANDDDD,

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE LET PAST CREWS (Min. 2 Matches played in tourneys prior) IN FUTURE TOURNEYS (IRRELEVANT OF CREW POINTS)

Hello GMs,

I believe that a lot of the Freestyle members spoke about some of the main issues already. I feel like some are still missing such as the following:

1. Relocating to the discord. The forums are dead already; and I suggest that you guys switch over to the ‘unOfficial Freestyle 2 Basketball Discord’ which already have 960+ freestyle players in it: https://discord.gg/Z6SPFRY (let me know if link doesn’t work). This will allow you guys to make direct contact with your community and a bunch of things can be resolved through here as it’s proven to be more effective than the forums (which is why the forums is considered dead). If you feel like talking about it you can DM me on discord (Dulle#7663).

2. New Moderators. The game need new moderators that are active. Half of the current mods already quit and still have that title. I feel as if you should redo the mods and give them special permission inside the game.


3. Crew League changes. As mentioned above, the crew league needs to be More frequent than what it is now. Most of the old players only play Freestyle 2 during that timeframe. So if you make it more frequent and reward promising; they’ll sure return to the game. Also during that time I advice you to boost the amount of events happening to catch the players eyes.

4. Trade System. We need a trade system to swap clothes(statted included), items, accessories, and so on for in game currency.

5. New anticheat prgram. Please change the XIGNCODE and use Anticheat as for mentioned earlier. There are so many exploits in the game and don’t seem to be solved.

6. Socialization. We the community need the devs to get involved with us more. You can do that by joining the discord and answering questions here and there. We’all even add a Q&A chat just so you can handpick what you want to answer. That way it strengthens your communication with your community. I’ve already seen other devs from other games such as ArcheAge and APB Reloaded and so forth use discord as a way of communication. We already established one since 2017 and it’s been growing since then. (960+ members currently).

7. Bugs & Events. Instead of releasing new characters, please focus on the server lagging and making new fun events that don’t generally involve gkash. This is a business move to generate more players by adding in some events with promising prizes for free; but the method of getting it takes grinding. More players will stay for the events if proven to be fun.

8. Opponents Builds. We also think you should show the opponent attributes and cards that the use during the match as the Chinese FS2 already did that.

9. Waiting Room Idea. If you can allow in the waiting room before the matches start, for each player to have their own basketball instead of fighting for one..that’ll be nice. With the little effect of them hitting each other of landing at the same spot.


Sincerely,

IGN: Vervet
