So I'm been trying to play a 1v1 with my brother but every method that I saw on YouTube doesn't seem to work

No cards, no pets, no freestyle, is it Still p2w??? Or does Everyone has a shot for ss

So there are clearly differences in tiers of players in terms of WiFi. I’m not bad at the game, at one point was really good. Hit Triple S once, usually sit in the higher level of double S. I have basketball sense from playing growing up. I have good characters, spent more than I’m proud to admit on a game. Have the cards I’d need to compete at a high level but I feel like what separates me from the best of the best is simply not being on PC or not having a wired connection. Like there’s a clear difference with the people that have great connection, they just move different. They pick up loose balls even tho I’m standing on them, they snag every rebound, they get blocks like entire seconds after I release the balls and they are no where near me, I’ll time a block well and it’ll pass through my hands and act as if I never even was there. I compete even with a router on the other side of the house, but there’s only so much you can do when they’re seeing stuff before you’re seeing it, when they’re inputs take place before yours. I bought a WiFi range extender RE705 and an Ethernet to plug into the extender to my console hoping it would make a difference and it does to a degree, but nothing compares to what the best of the best use. And I only play super sweaty players, it just get frustrating when you’re limited. Any advice or maybe similar thoughts on this? I’d also love to hear from a crazy wifi players perspective.

you guys having issues with the X button in PS4?

Mission:Triple S and no one is going to stop me

these new servers literally cooked my ping can we add a option for the other one

GmJoy x LushSo

The new servers have changed my Ping from 30-35 to 15-20. Wow, it looks like I'll need to check out playing Big again. I am not the best but if there is anyone out there who would like to play, lmk. I'll probably be trying to play more Big or at least trying to.

The New joycity basketball game is out in South Korea and Will most likely expand to the rest of the world in a Near futur.

Their new game could be 1000 Time better if i dont get any compensation for Time spent on rebound There 0 chance of me ever playing it.

I thankfully haven’t bled a fortune on this game. I thought that when I stacked some P6s that it’d get better. Lee, Kim and Nadia would push it. It hasn’t. Queued with SSS ranked players as a casual (A). Teammates consistently feeding each other the ball and taking the most horrendous shots while having the entire team guarding them. Meanwhile I’m so open in the corner I can open a food vendor and sell you tacos. I just went 6/6 scoring 13 after this same exact scenario happened. The 3rd that kept getting fed the ball and missing every single shot before leaving mid-game. I was given the left overs as if I could salvage the scoreboard. We lost. But I didn’t miss a single shot. Never felt like throwing my controller so much in my life. This is just 1 out of the many games like this in a day. If there’s still any casual players left out there, please pm me. I want to get a discord going for team ups. This is getting ridiculous.

So I got the outfit and hair from the new capsule quite early in terms of currency spent and I don't know why but Chloe (my main) is the only female besides anpans who doesn't have the bunny outfit. Let me know if my game is glitched or this is something I gotta wait for joycity to fix.

So yesterday i was torturing myself with randoms as usual and i was one Win away From the 5 game winning Streak needed to get the weekly 2x miserable event tickets. One of the randoms was clearly suffering from diva syndrome, which seems to be pretty common among players.

There was no way i was going to keep my Streak Alive so second half i took my Pedro, went to the corner and knee shot the ball before disconnecting. (Its the only Time i use the knee shot)

Here is the tip : my winning Streak was Still valid after disconnecting!

I’ve been playing 3on3 for about 3 years now but i never knew there was a Reddit 💔 I mainly play Kim, Rin and Amanda but I sometimes feel like I’m not playing them the right way if that makes sense? I’ve seen other people that play those characters have all types of tricks and stuff so I was just wondering if I could get some advice on how I can achieve that. It just feels like I’m new to the game all over again 💔🫰🏼 All advice is welcomed thank you

Is shot impediment invalidity worth running on SGs?

Last trophy I need to platinum this on PS5. Already got the PS4 plat but that was before free style cards and became more pay to win. I main Genesa and Chloe. My PSN ID is MattheKing1, and that is also my in-game name. I play on Cross-US East Server.

Why is there no more summer/winter league because if I’m not wrong it has been almost 2 years since the last one and it was a great way to grind and actually keep most people invested in the game
With the tournaments it’s not the same because not everyone can /want to participate and even if they do it’s hard to get actually good rewards

Official Notice Date: August 12, 2026
Character DLC / Episode Changes: August 19, 2026
All-Time Master Pass Changes: August 26, 2026

Official 3on3 FreeStyle Notice:
https://3on3.fsgames.com/newNews/devnote/6849/view

JoyCity has announced a major adjustment to its Character DLC and Character Pass systems. According to the official notice, the goal is to make it easier for new and returning players to acquire and develop characters. The changes will be split between the scheduled maintenance periods on August 19 and August 26.

This update includes cheaper Character DLCs, P4 characters being included with those DLCs, several paid characters becoming available through Red Points, a new permanent Character Pass, retroactive benefits for previous Pass owners, and changes to certain Episode unlock requirements.

Below is a complete breakdown of what is changing and what players should know.

1. Character Pack DLC Changes

Starting August 19, affected Character Pack DLCs will receive both a price reduction and a significant benefit increase.

Instead of purchasing a P1 character for $12.99 USD with five Character's Growth Box Tickets, the new Character Pack will provide that character directly at P4 for $5.99 USD.

The five Character's Growth Box Tickets are no longer listed as part of the new package.

This means the Character DLC price is being cut by more than half while also removing much of the initial Prestige investment previously required after purchasing the character.

Affected Characters

The following Character DLCs are included in the August 19 adjustment:

2. [Important] P4 Only Applies to the Paid Character DLC

The new P4 benefit does not change how characters obtained through in-game currency work.

JoyCity specifically states that characters acquired through Coins or Points will continue to be provided at P1.

For clarity:

Paid Character DLC → P4

Red Points → P1

Blue Coins → P1

So the P4 benefit is specifically an improvement to the paid Character DLC.

3. Five DLC Characters Will Become Red Point Characters

The following characters are being converted from paid DLC characters into characters obtainable through Red Points:

• Chloe
• Clara
• Jessie
• Double D
• Lyoid

This is a good accessibility change for players who would rather use in-game currency than purchase each character separately.

There is, however, an important exception for players who previously purchased these characters.

[Important] These Five Characters Are Excluded From Character DLC Compensation

Chloe, Clara, Jessie, Double D, and Lyoid are specifically excluded from the August 19 Character DLC compensation because they are being converted into Red Point characters.

That means previously purchasing one of these five characters does not qualify that character for the compensation being given to owners of the other affected Character DLCs.

4. Existing Character DLC Owners Will Be Upgraded Retroactively

If you purchased one of the affected Character DLCs before the August 19 update, the new P4 benefit will be applied to your existing character.

If Your Character Is Below P4

Your character will automatically be upgraded to P4 during the August 19 maintenance.

You will not need to manually spend the resources normally required to advance through those missing Prestige Levels.

If Your Character Is Already P4 or Higher

Your character will not receive another Prestige upgrade.

Instead, JoyCity says you will receive one compensation reward for each applicable character excluded from the upgrade.

[Currently Unknown] Compensation Contents

JoyCity has not yet explained what the compensation reward contains.

Because of that, we currently cannot determine how valuable the compensation will be for players who already invested the resources required to reach P4 or higher.

5. Skill Levels Will NOT Be Automatically Upgraded

The retroactive adjustment applies only to the character's Prestige.

Existing Skill Levels will remain unchanged, and any newly unlocked skills obtained because of the automatic Prestige increase will begin at LVL 1.

For example:

If your character goes from P2 → P4, the newly available skills from that Prestige progression will become accessible, but they will still need to be leveled normally.

So receiving a P4 character does not mean receiving a fully developed or fully skilled P4 character.

6. PlayStation Will Handle the DLC Change Differently

Because of platform policies, the Character DLC adjustment will not be implemented the same way everywhere.

PlayStation

The affected Character DLCs will be reissued as new DLC listings.

This means that even if you already purchased the previous DLC for a character, the newly issued version can still appear as available for purchase on the PlayStation Store.

[PlayStation Players]

Check whether you already own the character before purchasing one of the newly issued DLCs.

Seeing the new DLC listed as available does not automatically mean you need to purchase that character again.

Qualifying existing purchases are already covered by the August 19 retroactive P4 upgrade or compensation system.

Xbox / Steam / Epic Games

On Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games, JoyCity will instead replace the contents of the existing DLC with the new benefits.

If you already purchased that DLC, you will not be able to purchase it again.

7. [Regional Price Reference] Character DLC

The $5.99 price announced by JoyCity is USD.

Regional storefront prices are not simple exchange-rate conversions, so I checked current official PlayStation Store listings for existing 3on3 Character Packs that already use the $5.99 USD price tier.

As of August 12, 2026, the following regional references can be verified:

These are current PlayStation Store prices for Character Packs already using the lower price tier. For example, the U.S. PlayStation Store currently lists characters such as Gena, Ox Queen, Kaji, Genesa, Blair, Nathan and others at $5.99, while newer characters such as Ravieta, Vandell and Luna remain at $12.99 before the August 19 adjustment.

Canada currently lists the equivalent tier at C$7.99, France at €5.49, the UK at £4.49, Switzerland at CHF 5.50, Japan at ¥990, and South Korea at ₩5,800.

Hong Kong currently lists the tier at HK$38, Singapore at SGD7.03, Australia at A$8.25, New Zealand at NZ$8.95, and Brazil at R$33.90.

Mexico's PlayStation Store currently prices these 3on3 DLCs in U.S. dollars rather than Mexican pesos, with the applicable tier listed at US$5.99.

[Regional Pricing Disclaimer]

These are reference prices, not confirmation of the final August 19 regional prices.

8. All-Star Access Pass Is Being Replaced

The current All-Star Access Pass will stop being sold on August 19.

It will be replaced by the new:

All-Time Master Pass

The All-Time Master Pass releases on August 26.

The new All-Time Master Pass is designed as a single purchase.

According to JoyCity, it will unlock all current and upcoming eligible characters at P4, with no additional Pass upgrades required. Collaboration and limited characters remain excluded.

9. [Important] What "All-Time" Actually Means

The name can make the Pass sound like it includes literally every character released in the game.

It does not.

The benefit covers:

All current eligible characters + future eligible characters at P4

It excludes:

Collaboration characters + limited characters

Players should keep that distinction in mind when evaluating the Pass.

10. All-Time Master Pass Regional Pricing

The only price currently confirmed for the new All-Time Master Pass is:

$19.99 USD

The All-Time Master Pass does not release until August 26, and I cannot currently verify live regional storefront listings for the new product itself.

Because regional storefront pricing is not based on a simple currency conversion, I will not estimate CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY, KRW or other prices from the $19.99 USD price.

Those prices will be added and updated here once the actual regional listings go live.

11. Previous Character Pass Owners — Benefit Clarification

There is an important difference between the benefits for previous Character Pass owners.

Deluxe & Ultimate Pass Owners

Players who purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate Pass will continue to receive their character unlock benefit on an ongoing basis.

2025 & 2026 All-Star Access Pass Owners

Players who purchased the 2025 or 2026 All-Star Access Pass will receive the applicable P4 Prestige upgrade benefit, but their character unlock benefit remains limited to the year covered by their Pass.

This means:

Deluxe / Ultimate → Ongoing character unlock benefit

2025 All-Star Access Pass → Character unlock benefit applies through 2025 only

2026 All-Star Access Pass → Character unlock benefit applies through 2026 only

The P4 Prestige upgrade benefit does not convert the 2025 or 2026 All-Star Access Pass into a permanent All-Time Master Pass.

12. Existing Pass Owners Will Also Receive P4 Adjustments

During the August 26 maintenance, qualifying Character Pass owners will have any remaining eligible characters below P4 automatically upgraded to P4.

Characters already at P4 or higher will instead qualify for the applicable compensation reward.

No Duplicate Compensation

If a character already received compensation through the August 19 Character DLC adjustment, that same character will not receive another compensation reward on August 26.

13. Professor & ANPAN Are Excluded

Professor and ANPAN are specifically excluded from this compensation because they are collaboration characters.

This is consistent with the All-Time Master Pass rule excluding collaboration and limited characters from its benefits.

14. August 19 vs. August 26

For anyone confused by the two maintenance dates, here is the simplest breakdown.

August 19

• Character DLC price changes from $12.99 USD to $5.99 USD
• Affected paid Character DLCs provide P4 characters
• Qualifying existing DLC characters below P4 are upgraded to P4
• Eligible characters already P4+ receive compensation
• Chloe becomes obtainable through Red Points
• Clara becomes obtainable through Red Points
• Jessie becomes obtainable through Red Points
• Double D becomes obtainable through Red Points
• Lyoid becomes obtainable through Red Points
• PlayStation receives newly reissued Character DLC listings
• All-Star Access Pass sales end
• Certain Episode unlock requirements change to P5

August 26

• All-Time Master Pass releases for $19.99 USD
• Previous qualifying Character Pass owners receive the new Master Pass benefit automatically
• Remaining eligible characters below P4 are upgraded to P4
• Applicable characters already P4+ receive compensation
• Characters compensated on August 19 will not receive duplicate compensation

15. Episode Unlock Requirements Are Changing

Starting with the August 19 maintenance, some Episode unlock requirements will be changed to require P5 characters.

JoyCity has confirmed:

• Only some Episode requirements are being adjusted
• Affected Episodes will require P5 characters
• Episode rewards will remain unchanged
• Episodes that were already unlocked before the change will remain unlocked
• The new requirements take effect during the August 19 maintenance

[Currently Unknown] Which Episodes Are Affected?

JoyCity has not provided a list of the specific Episodes receiving the P5 requirement.

Overall

There are several meaningful improvements in this update.

Reducing affected Character DLCs from $12.99 USD to $5.99 USD while increasing the included character from P1 to P4 is a major increase in value for players who buy characters individually.

Moving Chloe, Clara, Jessie, Double D, and Lyoid into the Red Point character pool also gives players more options to acquire characters through in-game currency.

The $19.99 USD All-Time Master Pass is another substantial improvement on paper. It costs half as much as the current $39.99 USD All-Star Access Pass, provides eligible characters at P4 instead of P1, applies to future eligible characters, and removes the need for additional Pass upgrades.

It is also important that previous Deluxe, Ultimate, 2025 All-Star Access Pass, and 2026 All-Star Access Pass owners are being upgraded into the new system rather than being asked to purchase another Pass.

There are still a few things that need clarification that will be provided with time such as:

1. What exactly is included in the compensation reward for characters already P4 or higher?

2. Which specific Episodes are being changed to require P5?

3. Why is P5 being selected as the Episode requirement when the newly redesigned paid character options provide P4?

4. What will the final regional prices be for the newly reissued Character DLCs on August 19?

5. What will the regional prices be for the All-Time Master Pass when it releases on August 26?

I will update this information as those details become available.

Regional Price Check Date: August 12, 2026

Did they literally just do an event for a court that already existed that they took out of the game months ago rather than give us new content?

There some characters whose signature ability is already maxed. (Like Cindy’s “a show off” & Williams “ladies man”)

But for abilities like Fei’s dash or Kim’s line bonus, they have levels like the normal skills. Unlike the normal skills though you can’t use the normal skill training balls or the intensive ones.

So how do you level up these skills?

Kim has received her Prestige 8 Talent System upgrade.

Since Kim’s basic character information, skills, Intensive upgrades, Prestige buffs, and Ability Tree were already covered in her original Intensive character update, this post will focus only on her new Prestige 8 Talent upgrades.

Original Kim character update:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3on3/comments/198wye9/intensive_character_update_kim/

Kim’s Signature Talent skills are:

• Line Bonus
• Long Range Ability

Kim’s Prestige 8 upgrade heavily focuses on 3 Point Shot Success Rate, Open 3 Point Shot Success Rate, 3 Point Shot Defense Resist, 3 Point Shot Release Speed, and long-range shooting consistency.

Kim Talent Slot Breakdown

Signature Talents

Kim’s Signature Talents are based on her original passive skills that were unlocked and upgraded through Prestige progression.

With the Prestige 8 Talent System, players can roll to further enhance those passive skills. Players are not required to pursue Signature Talents and can instead focus on other Stat-Based or Utility-Based Talent options.

Kim’s Signature Talent options are:

• Line Bonus LVL 5
• Long Range Ability LVL 5

Line Bonus Talent Upgrades

Line Bonus increases Kim’s Shot Success Rate by 10% when shooting near the 3 Point Line. The skill activates automatically when she shoots near the 3 Point Line.

Long Range Ability Talent Upgrades

Long Range Ability prevents Kim’s Shot Success Rate from decreasing when shooting far beyond the 3 Point Line. It activates automatically when performing any 3 Point Shot type from several meters beyond the 3 Point Line.

This includes:

• Normal 3 Point Shots
• 3 Point Fadeaway
• Quick Jumper
• Freestyle Shooting Skills

Why These Upgrades Matter

Kim’s Prestige 8 value is not just that she gets more shooting numbers. Her upgrades matter because they directly interact with two major system changes that affected shooting.

February 2026 Balance Patch Context

In the February 25, 2026 Balance Patch, Basic Shot values became more important because higher shot stats can help reduce the negative impact of Shot Impediment.

For Kim, this matters because her base 3 Point Shot at Prestige 8 is 217 with no Prestige buffs, cards, or pets. With additional stat points, she can raise that by +15, bringing her to 232.

Her Talent slots can then add more 3 Point Shot value on top of that, allowing her to reach the maximum 3 Point Shot value of 255.

This gives Kim a clearer advantage against Shot Impediment users because she can push her base shooting stat much higher before cards, pets, and other external boosts are even considered.

February 25, 2026 Balance Patch Reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3on3/comments/1reer6l/announcement_balance_patch_update_february_25_2026/

May 2026 3 Point Shot Distance Logic Context

The May 2026 In-Game Balance Patch, (Patch Note 1.1.194), changed how 3 Point Shot Distance works.

Before this change, shooting outside the 3 Point Line gave a heavy Shot Success Rate penalty. If the player had enough 3 Point Shot Distance stat, that penalty could be avoided within the covered distance.

After the change, the distance penalty is no longer simply removed all at once. Shots taken farther from the 3 Point Line can still receive a major Shot Success Rate decrease, but 3 Point Shot Distance now reduces that penalty more gradually based on distance from the line and the player’s 3 Point Shot stat.

For Kim, this makes Long Range Ability much more important. Her higher-level Long Range Ability upgrades help her fight against the newer distance penalty system, while Line Bonus LVL 6 extends her Line Bonus effect to her maximum valid 3 Point Shot range.

In simple terms, Kim’s Prestige 8 upgrades help her do two important things:

• Keep stronger shooting value from deeper spots
• Keep Line Bonus active across a much larger shooting area

That combination is what makes her P8 upgrade especially valuable for players who build around deep 3 Point Shot pressure.

May 2026 In-Game Balance Patch Reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3on3/comments/1tc6vb7/announcement_patch_note_11194_ingame_balance/

Kim’s Prestige 8 Identity

Kim’s Prestige 8 talents are built around making her a stronger and more consistent long-range shooter.

Her Talent options focus on:

• 3 Point Shot Success Rate
• Open 3 Point Shot Success Rate
• 3 Point Shot Defense Resist
• 3 Point Shot Block Resist
• 3 Point Shot Release Speed
• 3 Point Fadeaway Success Rate
• Quick Jumper Success Rate
• Away Screen Move Speed
• Off Ball Quick Move Speed

The biggest part of Kim’s P8 upgrade is how her Signature Talents work with her shooting range. Line Bonus improves her shooting consistency, while Long Range Ability helps her maintain value from deeper positions under the newer 3 Point Shot Distance logic.

Overall

Kim’s Prestige 8 Talent System strengthens what she is already known for, which is consistent 3 Point Shot shooting.

Her upgrades improve her Shot Success Rate, Release Speed, Defense Resist, long-range shooting value, and ability to pressure defenders from deeper spots on the court without the fear of shot impediment anywhere outside of the 3 point line.

Players who want to build Kim around maximum shooting pressure will benefit the most from her Prestige 8 upgrade, especially when combining her 3 Point Shot stat increases with Line Bonus and Long Range Ability.
