FreeStyle: This year’s last update to be launched on December 16

December 11th, 2009 Desktop General

Public Mode Enables Users to Watch Tournaments and League Matches

Replay Mode Makes Mastering Various Tactics Easier

Online Game Portal Site GameKiss announced this year’s last massive system update for FreeStyle Street Basketball Game which will be launched on December 16. This system update features the “public mode” and “replay mode” while another update with a new character ‘Sachi’, 51 new items and 12 skill motions has already been announced.

FreeStyle Street Basketball

For an online sports free download game, the most distinct system update would be the public mode which enables anyone accessing the game to watch a match by simply pressing the mode’s button.

Many users who wanted to watch important tournaments have complained about the lack of the public mode. Some users recorded game playing with their own recording program and uploaded their clips on YouTube. Other users then could see the matches. FreeStyle users will now be able to watch major matches between well-known clubs or teams or a dramatic come-from-behind victory in real time.

The replay mode, newly added after many FreeStyle users’ requests, would be essential for gamers who aim to improve their performance through analyzing previous games and team tactics. Gamers can save their game-play into a replay file. By watching past matches, gamers can understand opponents’ tactics and develop their own play patterns, boosting their game skills.

“Thanks to the pubic mode, users from all over the world will be able to watch all sorts of tournaments and league matches in real time. I’m very looking forward to that. The replay mode, too, will hopefully help users to master teamwork and various tactics,” said RomaN, Chief GM of FreeStyle Street Basketball Online Game.

“As this is a massive patch as the year 2009’s last update, I hope it is a big Christmas present to our users.”

Registration, download and playing of Freestyle Street Basketball are provided worldwide, and can be enjoyed free of charge. More details can be found on the official website: http://freestyle.gamekiss.com.
