Rocket League Getting Brand New Hoops Mode Next Week

News: You have played soccer with cars but beginning next week Psyonix is going to have to playing basketball with cars as well.

Psyonix has revealed that there is a big update coming to Rocket League next week and it is free. This update will include a basketball mode so instead of trying to score goals on a soccer field you will be trying to score baskets on the hardwood. In addition, an officially-licensed "NBA Flag Pack," containing the logos of all 30 NBA teams represented as in-game flags, will also be available for sale as premium DLC.

Following the positive community reaction to the "Snow Day" Hockey Mode released late last year, Psyonix's new Hoops mode adds a dynamic basketball twist to the wildly-successful soccer-meets-driving concept. In addition to the mode itself, Rocket League Hoops will also come with a FREE new arena called "Dunk House," where the net itself can be used as a ramp for the ball, and Aerials and wall-play is the key to victory. The new Hoops mode update is free on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC via Steam and includes a NBA logo flag for all players.

For basketball fans eager to represent their favorite NBA team on the Rocket League hardwood, the NBA Flag Pack retails for $1.99 USD (or regional equivalent) and gives players immediate access to all 30 teams.

What do you think about this new update? Will you buy the premium DLC? If so, which NBA team flag will be on your car?
