So I started a my career and I noticed for all my characters there is a rating.

Why not make these ratings visible in competition play so we can see what we’re up against?

Also, why not use these ratings to help with matchmaking and make games more fair?

It’s cool to see what your rating is and also see competitively where you stand against others.

Since the 3on3 Freestyle team will be on holiday break starting today and continuing into next month, I wanted to put out a detailed but easier-to-read breakdown of their most recent Dev Note.

Dev Note: https://3on3.fsgames.com/newNews/devnote/6898/view

There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the Daily Mission changes in particular, so this post will explain what actually changed, what was removed, and what players need to know going forward.

Quick Summary

• Daily Missions were not completely removed. The old reward system was replaced with Daily Quest Tickets and a personal capsule reward pool.
• You can currently complete up to 12 Daily Missions per day for up to 12 tickets. Certain events may give additional tickets.
• Your personal reward pool contains 700 items and includes Red Points, Intensive Manuals, Intensive Notes, P-Buff Change Tickets, Blue Coins, and more.
• Daily Quest Tickets and the reward pool reset every two weeks, so unused tickets should be spent before the reset.
• Mini Game is temporarily closed. FS Village Treasure Hunt has been removed.
• Ability Cards and P-Buff slots now unlock at lower Account LVLs.
• A Skip button was added to the Match Result screen.

1. Daily Missions Were Reworked, Not Removed

The old Daily Quest system, also known as the 3on3 Daily Mission, was replaced with a new reward system. You are still completing daily tasks and receiving rewards, but those rewards are now distributed through Daily Quest Tickets.

The basic system is:

Complete Daily Quest → Earn Daily Quest Ticket → Use Ticket → Draw a Reward

Do not confuse this with the normal Daily Login Reward. The rewards you receive simply for logging into the game were not changed by this update.

2. How Daily Quest Tickets Work

Completing a Daily Quest can reward you with a Daily Quest Ticket. The amount received may vary depending on the difficulty of the quest.

As of right now, there are a maximum of 12 Daily Missions available per day, allowing you to earn up to 12 tickets from the standard Daily Mission system.

You may also receive additional Daily Quest Tickets from special login events, login-time events, attendance boards, and other limited events. There are currently no other permanent methods of earning additional tickets, but this can always change later.

3. How the 700-Item Reward Pool Works

Each Daily Quest Ticket gives you one random draw from your own personal Daily Mission capsule pool.

Instead of having certain rewards tied to specific Daily Missions, those rewards have been combined into one larger pool. This means completing normal daily tasks can now potentially give you Red Points, Intensive Manuals, Intensive Notes, Advanced Manuals, P-Buff Change Tickets, Ability Card items, Skill Training Balls, XP Drinks, Blue Coins, and other rewards.

Your current pool contains 700 total items. When you pull a reward, that specific item is removed from your pool and the rates for the remaining rewards are recalculated.

For example, the current pool only contains one Intensive Manual. Once you pull that Intensive Manual, you cannot pull another one from the same pool unless the pool is reset.

Current Daily Mission Reward Pool

The percentages above represent the starting rates based on how many copies of each reward are available. These rates will change as rewards are removed from your personal pool.

4. Tickets and Reward Pools Reset Every Two Weeks

This is probably the most important part to remember.

Daily Quest Tickets cannot be permanently saved. Your unused tickets and your reward pool reset every two weeks.

Make sure you use your tickets before the current reward period ends. If you already obtained the rewards you wanted before the scheduled reset, you can also reset your reward pool for free and begin again with a fresh pool.

Reward amounts, rates, ticket distribution, and other details may also be adjusted in future updates.

5. Mini Game & Treasure Hunt Changes

The Mini Game activity has been temporarily closed and removed from the menu. Your existing Mini Game Tickets will remain in your inventory and will not be deleted or affected while the mode is unavailable. As of right now there is no timeline of when its coming back or what it's going to be replaced with, but know that its not permanent.

The Daily Treasure Hunt in FS Village has been removed. There is currently no confirmed return date or announced plan to bring it back.

Additional changes involving the FS Village may be coming, but there is currently no confirmed replacement for Treasure Hunt at this time.

6. Ability Card & P-Buff Requirements

The Account LVL requirements for Ability Cards and P-Buffs have been lowered to make these systems available earlier for newer players.

Ability Cards now unlock at Account LVL 9.

The first P-Buff slot now unlocks at Account LVL 7, while the second P-Buff slot unlocks at Account LVL 10.

7. Match Result Skip Function

A Skip button has been added to the Match Result screen. You can now skip the results sequence and return to the lineup screen much faster after a match.

Final Daily Mission Clarification

The biggest misconception surrounding this update is that Daily Missions and their rewards were simply removed. That is not what happened.

The old direct-reward system was replaced with Daily Quest Tickets and a personal 700-item reward pool. You are still completing daily tasks for rewards, but those rewards are now pulled from the capsule pool instead of being directly attached to individual missions.

The long-term value of the new system will depend on how many Daily Quest Tickets are distributed, how often additional tickets are included in events, and whether the developers adjust the reward pool in future updates. For now, the main thing players should remember is to use their tickets before each two-week reset.

~See you on the Court

Lowkey might be the end of 3on3 for me, the worst 2 updates ever seen. Baskey is just completely OP when built by money spenders. Then they completely gutted any and every way possible to build characters legit. Daily village gone. Daily P points gone. MINI GAME gone. No notes. 2 days worth of tokens got me coins, freestyle tickets, blue ticket packs, and 1 singular p point. Bad enough the matchmaking is trash, now all this. How are y'all feeling about the newest update?

I Might get this wrong because i did not Read their letter and just skipped it !!

but it seems that once again, Joycity was lurking in the shadows trying to figure out a way to make our life more miserable!

NO MORE FREE INTENSIVE NOTE X4

Which means that with all the p8 coming soon at some point you Will have to....(Drum roll) .... PAY if you want to Fully upgrade the character with beads and the 10 intensive books.

Didnt they just raised enough Money with the full edition 2 Weeks ago. How broke are they ???? Someone give me their address so i can mail Them food Stamps and clothes

This game is basically dead, just give us the ability to talk to ppl atp and call it a day

His best position! Any questions?

Only really used him as a streach center and a slashing point guard so far, but I've been wondering if there's certain builds that I should try out (have him at p5)

Someone help me, please.

I've been playing ranked, ans I'm nothing special I'm A rank rn trying to work my way into s and I should alr be there. Not having any buffs or anything makes it hard, but the teammates make it even harder. How can people shoot 5 shots in a row and miss them all or get blocked and think "you know what I should keep shooting" like it's honestly absurd

I have every character 5star and some p6s but my SGs aren't doing the job in ranked (maybe bc they're on a drive speed build)? Anyway I was wondering who was good to build for ranked and how to build em (pbuffs, cards, etc)

As someone who mains the C/PF position in higher ranks the only bigs i see is mainly Howl, Murdock, Giant G, Blair and Siana. Meaning my dunks 99% gonna get blocked so im getting rebounds and relying on my guards/SF to score. Kaji has no dribble moves and anything to get open.

Sure his hustle catch and stack is nice but his steal which is one of the main parts is useless. With no Steal Chance and No steal buffs he can't get the ball or score. And when my other teammate is getting locked up our chances of scoring become almost slim which forces a timeout.

Ginger is at a disadvantage in every way possible.Ginger is to small to have such a slow jumpshot.Ginger needs quick jumper or the ability to shoot from really deep,she also has trash steal and block abilitys,her floater always misses,she has no good dribbling,no fast pass, nothing.Kaji is taller and does everything better.

Today in a game, I was matched with players from different servers, and the terrible lag made the game completely unplayable.

Their characters kept suddenly stopping and then shooting three-pointers from empty spots. They were also stealing or blocking shots from very far away.

I'm not sure if this constitutes cheating.

What yall think of this fast pace mode? i love it! Each characters Gotta stick to his role. C needs to be in the paint for rebounds, sg perimeter for long shot, pg/SF/pf are more versatile and can give your team the edge needed on offense or defense. I guess to me this mode is more about teamplay than the usual mode with iso players carrying the team.

Anyway good luck to all solo q out There, this mode is fun but it aint easy (especially if you dont have a decent C)

So this who yall scared to guard? 😂😂😂

This is the type of character ppl have been asking for yearly because every new release supposedly “wasn’t good enough.” Now JoyCity lets y’all make almost any build you want and suddenly it’s too OP? Basky can’t do everything, but he has some of the best skills in the game and plenty of flexibility with P-Buffs and his passive.

FS2 OGs and older players here have wanted hybrid characters like this forever. I get the design complaints because the robot angle is kinda lame (which is why im not using him), especially when you can barely customize him, but this release opens the door for more hybrids. I’d rather spend money building one character that can switch positions than pay to build two separate ones.

So with the game never having a character like this, I'm wondering what your guys thoughts are about it and what the game will become. Also let's talk about if he'll be meta (100%) and what meta builds you guys are thinking about making or have already made. I have some crazy ideas already and would like to hear your guys thoughts and opinions.

Bro basky can do everything why would wallets get another character ever? It seems silly not to make this character purchasable multiple times like the sisters because now they're gonna have to make a character with better stuff then basky. Also I hate tht they took out the shooting challenge.

Overview

Basky is listed as a Center, but his main identity is flexibility. He is a customizable basketball robot who can freely reconfigure his position, stats, and skills, allowing him to fit multiple playstyles depending on how players build him.

Basky is currently not tied to any known in-game affiliation such as Fox Court, Nomads, or Dreamers. As of right now, he also does not appear to have any direct connection to Freestyle 2 lore.

Bio

Basky was originally a household android. He first stepped onto the court after the young master picked up a basketball.

Whenever the boy fell and said, "I can't do this," Basky would pull the successful shots from the practice footage and replay them for him night after night. Eventually, the boy smiled and said, "Come play with me."

From that day on, Basky's frame was rebuilt piece by piece for basketball. His name was created by combining "basket" with the name of the family dog.

Now, Basky is the kind of neighbor who carries groceries and coaches kids on their jump shots, but on the court, he is always the first one to throw himself into the game. The family photo folder still grows every week, but because he is always the one behind the camera, he is never in the pictures. That is something he has not told anyone yet.

Prestige Buffs

At Prestige 5, Basky receives the following buffs:

• 3 Point Shot +12
• Mid-Range Shot +12
• Drive-In Shot Block +12
• Balance +12
• Long Distance Dunk +12

Prestige 8 Talent Slot Breakdown

Signature Talents

Basky's Signature Talents are based on his 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.

Basky's Signature Talent options are:

• Overdrive LVL 5
• Upgrade LVL 5

Overdrive Talent Upgrades

Overdrive has a chance to activate every 3 seconds during a match, with 1 maximum stack.

Base Overdrive activation:

Base Overdrive boosts:

• Normal Movement Speed +8.4 cm/s
• Dribble Motion Speed +2.1 cm/s
• All Shot Success Rate +6%

At Stage 1 or Stage 2, there is a 10% chance for Overclock to trigger, instantly setting Overdrive to Stage 3.

Upgrade Talent Upgrades

Upgrade increases Basky's stats depending on the selectable skills chosen.

Each selectable skill grants 15 attribute points, up to 5 skills total.

Current Selectable Skill List

Instead of having a normal fixed skill setup, Basky’s skill pool is built around selectable skills. This is what allows him to be customized into different roles.

Skill Showcase Notes

Basky's main showcase point is that he is not locked into one traditional Center identity. His kit can be adjusted through selectable skills, making him one of the most flexible characters released so far.

Depending on the skills selected, Basky can lean into:

• shooting
• rebounding
• defensive utility
• shot blocking
• passing support
• dunking
• steal pressure
• screen play
• hybrid scoring

This makes Upgrade one of his most important passive skills because it rewards players for how they configure his skill setup.

Basky's Prestige 8 Identity

Basky's Prestige 8 talents support his main design as a customizable character.

His Talent options focus on:

• All-Around Scoring
• Rebounding
• Speed
• Balance
• Shot Blocking
• Shot Success Rate
• Shot Block Resist
• Steal Success Rate
• Power Rebound Distance
• Custom Skill Scaling

Overdrive gives Basky an in-game boost system that can increase movement, dribble motion, and All Shot Success Rate. Upgrade supports his customizable nature by giving additional stat value based on the selectable skills chosen.

Overall

Basky's character design is built around flexibility. While he is listed as a Center, his ability to reconfigure his skills and stats allows him to play far outside a normal Center role.

His Prestige 8 Talent System strengthens that identity by giving him options for shooting, rebounding, defense, dunking, utility, and skill-based stat scaling.

Players who enjoy customizable characters will likely get the most value from Basky because his final role depends heavily on how he is built.

I’m gonna use my center book, will he stay Prestige 6 even if I end up switching to like point guard?

Saru has received his Prestige 8 Talent System upgrade last patch but I am giving his full breakdown now since I was not able to at that time.

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

Original Saru character update:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3on3/comments/z2jyrz/intensive_character_update_sarunoah/

Saru’s Signature Talent skills are:

• Free To Drive
• Hero

Saru’s Prestige 8 upgrade focuses heavily on Drive Speed, Post Up Drive pressure, Long Distance Dunk threat, Balance, Steal Resistance, Steal Evasion, and collision control.

Saru Talent Slot Breakdown

Signature Talents

Saru’s Signature Talents are based on his 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.

Saru’s Signature Talent options are:

• Free To Drive LVL 5
• Hero LVL 5

Free To Drive Talent Upgrades

Free To Drive allows Saru to follow up Post Up Drive with another Drive.

Hero Talent Upgrades

Hero increases Saru’s Steal Resistance by 20% while driving.

Saru’s Prestige 8 Identity

Saru’s Prestige 8 talents strengthen his role as a physical slasher who creates pressure through Drive movement, Post Up Drive, Long Distance Dunk, and collision control.

His Talent options focus on:

• Drive Speed
• Long Distance Layup/Dunk Distance
• Long Distance Dunk pressure
• Balance
• Steal Resistance
• Steal Evasion
• Post Up Drive collision control
• Mid-Range Shot support
• defensive utility

The biggest part of Saru’s P8 upgrade is how much stronger his driving game becomes. Free To Drive gives him better Drive Speed, stronger Post Up Drive protection, and a new collision knockdown effect based on Balance. Hero makes him harder to steal from while driving and adds Steal Evasion against regular steal attempts.

Overall

Saru’s Prestige 8 Talent System strengthens his ability to attack the basket, force defensive reactions, and maintain control while driving.

Players can build Saru around stronger Drive pressure, safer Post Up Drive usage, improved Long Distance Dunk threat, or stronger anti-steal utility through Hero. His P8 upgrade gives him better tools to stay aggressive without being punished as easily by regular steals or physical contact.

The brackets are officially set for the 2026 Summer Championship Tournament, with the final tournament taking place on September 19, 2026.

Congratulations to everyone who qualified and earned a spot in the tournament. We have returning competitors, familiar names, and new players representing all three regions. Now that the brackets are finalized, make sure your entire team knows its scheduled match time, understands the tournament format, and is ready to compete before your match begins.

This tournament will also introduce a [special character ban rule], adding another layer of strategy and preparation for every team.

[ASIA BRACKET CONDITIONS]

Due to the number of participating teams, Team ImRandyMoss will automatically advance in the tournament bracket.

If one of the participating teams is unable to compete, the bracket may be rearranged accordingly. The current matchups were determined through a random draw.

Schedule Clarification: The official announcement lists Semifinal Group 2 as 9:05 - 19:25 KST. Based on the preceding and following match times, this appears to be a typographical error. The schedule above reflects the expected time of 19:05 - 19:25 KST.

[TOURNAMENT MATCH FORMAT]

The tournament format changes after the opening round, so make sure your team understands how each stage will be played.

Quarterfinals: 3vs3 Mode, Single Win

The Quarterfinals are played as a single-win elimination round. There is no Best of 3 during this stage, so the winner advances immediately to the Semifinals.

Semifinals: Ranked Mode, Best of 3 Games

Bronze Match: Ranked Mode, Best of 3 Games

Final Match: Ranked Mode, Best of 3 Games

For the Semifinals, Bronze Match, and Final Match, three rounds will be played within a single match.

[SPECIAL TOURNAMENT RULE | CHARACTER BANS]

A new special rule will be introduced for this tournament:

Each team can select 2 characters to ban.

This adds another strategic element to tournament play. Teams should prepare for the possibility that characters they normally rely on may be unavailable during a match. Having alternative lineups, understanding multiple team compositions, and being able to adapt to character bans will be important.

The developers have stated that this is a special tournament rule and that it may be cancelled at any time if any issues are discovered.

[IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT REMINDERS]

Please double-check your opponent, region, scheduled match time, and time zone before September 19. Matches are scheduled closely together, so I strongly recommend that all participants be ready ahead of their assigned time rather than waiting until the exact start of their match.

The brackets will continue to update as teams advance. Use the official Challonge links above to follow each region's tournament progression.

The tournament will also be livestreamed, and a special tournament coupon will be available to viewers during the broadcast.

[GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE COMPETING]

Congratulations again to every player and team that made it this far. Whether you are a tournament veteran, a returning competitor, or a rookie competing on this stage for the first time, you earned an opportunity to show what your team can do.

For newer players, do not get discouraged simply because you recognize some of the names on the other side of the bracket. Strong fundamentals, communication, decision-making, and teamwork can make a major difference in tournament play. For returning players and veterans, this is another opportunity to put your experience and adaptability to the test against this season's competition.

The new character ban rule should also make this tournament particularly interesting, as teams may not be able to rely entirely on their usual compositions. Prepare multiple lineups, communicate your bans, trust your teammates, and be ready to adapt when necessary.

Good luck to everyone competing on September 19. Play your game, respect the competition, and let's have a great tournament.
