Ride hoverboards in outer space, in a basketball game where you must throw or slam the ball in the basket.

In the year 3000 A.D., all sports have evolve to ships in outer space. The ships have no gravity; therefore, when the ball is moving, it keeps moving. You are a player going to outer space because you join the UBL(the "U" stand for universe). You decide your career objectives from here on out.

Scenery: This is a 5-on-5, basketball game in a 100x50x50 feet rectanglular figure court made of unbreakable glass. The backboard and the rim can't move out of place. The rim and ball is 15 inches in radius. The rim is 2 feet in front of the backboard and is turned towards it, so the ball must be thrown off the backboard or slam in. The backboard is 3 feet square, 5 feet from the end of the court, and 19 feet from the sidelines apothem. The lane is 20x15x15 feet and 17 feet from the sidelines apothem. The 3-point line is 30x45x45 feet and 5 feet from the sidelines apothem.

Gameplay: Moving will take awhile to get use to because you have to twist left and right, roll and move forward, backward, left, and right. Don't get worry which way is up, because it doesn't matter in space. Each player will be wearing electronic glass that tells them where the ball and they at in the court.

Controls:
Left Stick: Lean and Roll
Right Stick: Turn and Throttle
D-pad: Strafe Up, Down, Left, and Right

The other buttons can be use for anything else left.

This is the default controls. These controls work best with the Double Joystick, in Gamediscovery.com hardware section.

Rules:
Points: The points sytem is the same, plus every dunk is 3 points and every half court shot is 5 points.
Out-of-Bounds: When a player with the ball or the ball touches any the sidelines or the back of the backboard.
Traveling and Carrying: This will be called Hogger. Anyway, this happens when a player holds the ball for more than 5 seconds.
Double Dribbling: This will be called Restoring. Anyway, this happens when a player gets the ball without having a 3 second rest without the ball.
Goaltending: When an opponent hits the ball when it is between the rim and backboard.
Shot Clock: 30 seconds
All other rules are the same and applies to the game.

Info: You can choose from any team in the NBA plus each planet has at least one team. Play tournaments and seasons with up to 4 players on a team. Also, you can play on-line and make real seasons and tournaments with others to win prizes. Make your own team, name it what you like, and name the planet its from.
