Features:

  • Private matches! New button in the Balltag elevator sends you to a private match. That means no one but you and whoever you went in with can join. Private matches don't give cash.

  • No more T-bagging to score That's right, just bring your balls to the deposit to score, no need to duck. This was a controversial one, but ultimately we feel the game flows better this way.
