Huddle up sports fans, a new controller is on the field.
PC players get improved support for a larger number of game controllers, including the Sony DualSense controller, in the latest update. All though the controllers worked fine, proper controller icons are now shown on screen for the DualSense controller (DualShock 4 support was already included). To make this possible, SSDT 2.2.3 for PC brings an updated Rewired controller library. A few minor things were cleaned up and fixed along the way, so the version number has jumped a bit.
v2.2.3 for Windows: Rewired updated, Dual Sense glyph support, QoL keyboard mouse text updates, Minor text fixes for season mode player select, Camera scroll fix (introduced in Steam Deck update)
Steam Deck Update
This update is for the Steam Deck owners. Take SSDT with you on the go! The Steam Deck handles the game great, and now Super Slam Dunk Touchdown looks like it was made for the portable device. This build is 16:10 optimized while still making the most of ultrawide monitors on PC. You get full Steam Deck controller support and touch screen support for most UI elements. Happy sportsballing!
Things just got a little easier
After fixing an AI bug, the AI was too good! The difficulty was ramping up to hard. It is now much friendlier and even cuts you some slack on some of the "shadier" challenges.
Secret CPU v CPU mode now randomizes the difficulty of each time for more entertaining viewing.
EXTRA SEASONING UPDATE
Huddle up!
The Extra Seasoning update brings loads of new content for 1-3 players either locally or with Steam's Remote Play feature. Classic 6 player modes available too, along with upgraded CPU players.
Season Mode
Assemble your dream team by defeating unique Soccer, Hockey, Football, Roller Derby, Basketball and Baseball teams, earning fans, making money and playing season after season. Master each player in 6 all new training games! Unlock new player colors, new balls, new game options, and more by discovering the secrets in this endless looping campaign that adjusts difficulty automatically as you progress. Track your stats, earn fans and stack cash to customize your home arena. With a dozen different season endings, there is a lot of new content to discover!
Steam or Stream
With multiple controller modes, you can play in many different ways. Play with an old Gamecube controller or a modern Xbox controller and just about any analog joystick in between. Use Xinput for modern features, Direct Input for legacy compatibility, a combination of both, and more. With a new windowed screen mode, you can stream the game more easily. Keyboard and mouse is also supported (not recommended).
AI, UI, UX improvements
Virtually every aspect of the game has been improved since the 2017 Pre-Season update. Controller diagrams, scoring diagrams, simplified controls, better computer players, and a guided Season Mode journey to help you master the game. Cloud saves supported too!
Reach for the Chievos
All 100 Xbox achievements are here and only the best and boldest players will unlock them all. You can even reset them and challenge yourself again and again for a sense of pride and accomplishment. Touchdown!
Extra Seasoning: Open Beta
Some stats bugs have emerged during testing that will take a bit more time to fix. With the holidays here in the USA in full swing, rather than make you wait, the beta is being opened to all!
You can play the all new Season Mode with 1-3 players and anyone who owns the game can host a Steam Remote play session with friends (recommended 30+mbps upspeed). Your friends don't need to own the game to play the game or the open beta! There are still 1-6 player classic modes as well as secret unlocks, Season Mode training games and 100 achievements.
Please leave feedback in the forums. Tipping Goat hopes you have all the happy holidays!
Extra Seasoning Development Update
PC Power!
The power of the PC platform is in the performance of the peripherals! Super Slam Dunk Touchdown can be played with just about whatever analog joystick you have laying around the house for up to 6 players locally. It makes doing the platform justice challenging and Super Slam Dunk Touchdown will be going the extra 110%!
Steam Stream Dream Team
Steam's Remote Play feature is awesome! That's why the still-in-development Extra Seasoning update is getting more controller modes to help make sure everyone can have a good experience whether streaming, playing with friends remotely, or in person.
Players will be able to choose the input mode that is right for their unique set up: Whether pure Xinput for maximum compatibility with Xbox controllers and Steam or a Direct Input mode that allows 6 controllers of any type with or without Xinput enabled. Once the Extra Seasoning update hits, there will be a new option for Controller Mode on the Option menu.
Each input mode brings with it customizable controls for each unique joystick name. It can get confusing fast when you have a Playstation controller, a flightstick, a generic PC game controller and an Xbox One controller all with a keyboard and mouse player. Fortunately, the Extra Seasoning update will come with a "View Controls" option on the in-game pause menu. This new screen shows the controls for each controller in use beside the associated player ##. There's also a visible joystick icon that each player can wiggle if they are trying to figure out who the heck they are.
Still in Progress
Tipping Goat can't wait to get this update out to the loyal Steam sports fans. Please pop in to the discussion forums and say hello! There's still bugs to fix, 100 achievements and more Steam features to support, so stay tuned for the beta announcement, and stay sportsy!
Initially conceived in 2009 as “Sportsball”, Super Slam Dunk Touchdown was revealed to the world as a pre-alpha demo at PAX South way back in 2015. After a lot of work, it launched on Steam’s Early Access and eventually was updated in 2017 with a Pre-Season version that promised more “Coming Soon!”
“Soon” is relative in galactic timescales, and a short few years later is ready for launch on Xbox hardware with extra seasoning!
Season Mode
In addition to many improvements, tweaks and additions, Super Slam Dunk Touchdown launches on Xbox with the all new Season Mode: A massive 1-3 player co-op campaign that pits your custom team against 6 unique CPU rivals. Tryout your players in 6 new micro training games. Accumulate fans and money in exhibition matches, season matches, the playoffs and finals. Play season after season, earn the respect of your coach and discover multiple endings, hidden unlocks, and 100 achievements.
Windows PC Update Coming to Steam
Owners of the Pre-Season version of SSDT can expect a new version in short order after the Xbox Launch. The Extra Seasoning version of SSDT for Steam will support cloud saves, remote play and all 100 achievements.
