Early Access Review
The game by itself is very good. Its the type of the game you can make fun of and not take anything seriously, but, on the other hand, you can literally tryhard it. I love how hard the game actually is. The worst thing in this game is on 100% the cringe latency... for somebody with "average" internet speed its comlpetly unplayable. If I give an example, I got 300Mbps and still got latency lags.Moreover it would be very nice if u add something like 1v1 and 2v2. I dont actually like 3v3s and I think there is more ppl like me. The thing I would really like to see in this game too is some kind of rewards. Not only those 300g u get from leveling up. I mean, there could be some achievments, rewards for every game, some kind of chests. This is not hate, I understand the game is still in beta. Just adding some ideas from player pov. :). And the last thing I would like to mention is the wierd matchmaking. Players with 1hr play with guy that has like 3k hrs. But I understand thats the problem of the number of players playing the game, just saying to the future. To sum it up, if u have a good internet speed and u like ice hockey, I can only recommend the game to you.

Edit: I have one more thing I would like to mention after having almost 200hrs on record. There is still one very annoying and difficult thing even for experienced players w hundrets of hours. Its the camera. The time between being able to switch the camera to the other side is gamechanging, not even speaking about the motion and that it can easily make u disoriented. I would really like to see some settings, that allows the players cameras to track the puck. Something simmilar to the rocket league one.

In the future it would be nice to have actual positions, for example goalkeeper. He could have a real goalie equipment and be bigger. Or maybe some kind of skills (passive/active) that anyone can acquire during the game. There is still a lot of things that could be added.

Another edit : xd, now i have almost 700 hours combined on all of my accounts, iv become pretty good at the game and i would like to say that the things iv been saying about the camera above, its complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, after some time you will learn how to play with reversed camera just like with the normal one, its just very important to have „Camera smoothing“ in the settings turned OFF, at that time i was still petty bad. Few tips i can give right now to new players are :
1. don’t judge the game before having like 500hrs
2. the only way how to become better is to play
3. PLAY CONTROLLER!
if you guys need some tips about gameplay or settings, just ask me here in the comments, dm me on dc : svacky, or just join the official Slapshot Rebound discord server, there is a lot of kind people that will help you! Btw be ready for another edit after des hundreds of hours xdd

BUT WE LOVE SLAPSHOT AS IT IS!!!!!!
