VR SHOOT AROUND - Realistic basketball simulator -

Best basketball VR game to date. Amazing physics and for only $5, this game is a steal.

I was seeking a more realistic basketball vr experience. Windows Mixed Reality is not officially supported based on the game listing but it works flawless for me with the Lenovo Explorer WMR. The game displays a warning about not being compatible with my device but it allows you to ignore it & continue. I had no serious issues with this title other than struggling to hit anything while attempting to play the 3 point contest. This is not an arcade type game, you will actually have to practice your shots, angles & ball release. I was very frustrated at first because I was trying to play the game like an arcade type shooter & that won't work here. You need to shoot properly & release the ball by gently letting go of the trigger to sink the shots consistently. I highly recommend you start from the free throw line & once you make your adjustments, test them out by shooting layups under the hoop. If you do well, you know your settings are proper for your shooting style. Practice letting the ball go by gently releasing the trigger as you shoot. In order to catch the ball hold down the trigger button or the ball will just bounce away as it hits your controller. In any case, I missed over 400 shots but hit about 80 after making adjustments. Still work in progress. This might help some of you sink shots from free throw & under the hoop. Adjust accordingly to your shooting style. Current settings: Throwing Power = 1.2 G.O.A.T ASSIST = 0.5 VALID ANGLE = 6 RESOLUTION = 1.3 In game graphics all set to medium to ensure 90 fps. TIP When shooting try lobbing your shots forward & up while gently releasing the trigger.

Basketball VR games are pretty limited so far but for $4.49 I don't think you can go wrong with VR Shoot Around. Initially you may think its crap because it does have a learning curve nor is it as easy as sinking a jumper on NBA2K. There are adjustment sliders for the "power" of your shot and the range is more than enough to hone in what feels comfortable. Be careful about hitting your ceiling. I attempted a small 2" jump to make it feel more realistic but my controller kissed my 8' ceiling. If you have vaulted ceilings man I bet this game is awesome. To try and change things up there are 3 height settings for the hoop and maybe try shooting from your knees with the hoop at a lower level. You are able to customize the colors of the basketball court as well as import ANY Photo on your computer and place it anywhere on the court!!! That is pretty much what sold me on keeping the game ; ) this feature truly makes it feel like your court. Next thing is to open OVRdrop in game and either play music, stream a You Tube classic NBA game etc.) I hope the developers continue to add on to the game. It would be nice if dribbling was an option but its nearly impossible to get more than 2 dribbles before the ball hits the controller at a weird angle and bounces away. If you ever wanted to have your own basketball court I say go for it.

I think you guys misspelled cancel on the quit menu...

Probably the best VR basketball game out there atm, I'm excited for the future of these types of games. I would love to see different gyms/arenas/parks added to shoot around in, would make the experience a whole lot more realistic and better!

This game is so amazingly realistic! So far the best basketball mechanism in VR. Shoot & Layup feels really incredible. This is the closest to real life basketball. And the price is so cheap! Seriously, just buy it. You won't regret this. I'm using Oculus Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop to play this and still feels amazing! I play it everyday. Hope devs will continue this journey with DLC or something so the price is not this cheap.

YES

Amazing and simple. A great platform for more updates and i think a must have for vr. A little frustrating at times because it's borderline impossible to be as consistent as real life but once you figure it out it's something you keep coming back to.

Amazing game Amazing physics

Got it right without the frustration.
