The concept is simple. Every time you make a shot, you move back a bit. Keep making shots and you will move down the court and through our wonderful locations! 3-PT SHOOTOUT: You know the drill! 5 racks, with 5 balls in each rack. The first four balls in each rack are worth one point and the last ball, aka the "money ball" is worth three points. TIME BATTLE: Make as many shots as you can in 2 minutes from increasing distances. The game play is similar to Longshot, but a miss will not end your game but you will not move back until you make a shot from your current position. TIME BATTLE 50: Just like Time Battle, you have 2 minutes to make as many shots as you can from increasing distances, but in this mode you start 50 spots back, adding a significant challenge, right from the start. RANDOM SHOTS: In this game mode, you will take 20 shots from random locations on the basketball court. 50 SHOTS: Similar to Longshot, how far can you go in 50 shots? SHOT MAKER: We LOVE this game mode! You'll take 20 shots from random locations on the court and in unique places in the surrounding area. This could be on top of buildings, at the top of the arena, in the stands and more! 3PT CONTEST (VS CPU): Can you win a 3-round 3pt contest vs CPU players? 3-RACK 3-POINT SHOOTOUT: A quicker version of the 3-point shootout that uses 3 ball racks instead of 5. HORSE (VS CPU): Can you win a game of HORSE against a CPU player? Choose an opponent from more than 100 different CPU players, each with his or her own skill levels! SKILLS CHALLENGE: How quickly can you make a shot from 10 different court locations, including a half-court and three-quarter-court shot? HOOP FINDER: Make a basket at various hoops positioned at interesting places across various game locations. DAILY CHALLENGE: Each day, you will have 3 chances to make a difficult shot from a different location for a BIG bonus! Resets every 24 hours. ------------------ WHAT'S NEXT: We've got some GREAT things planned for Basketball Longshot!
