Swap goals for hoops with Rocket League’s new basketball mode

Since playing soccer with cars clearly isn’t enough for some people, the creators of indie game Rocket League have teased that it’s getting a new basketball mode, probably called Hoops.

The game’s phenomenal success is clearly urging its indie developer to push on since it also just announced the first official Rocket League Championship series in association with Twitch.
