The primary huge replace since launch for Drag X Drive has dropped, bringing a wholesome checklist of adjustments, updates, and enhancements—plus quite a lot of “why wasn’t that there at launch?” moments I’ve seen in a recreation for a while.
First up is the addition of native wi-fi play, which was lacking at launch. There’s now stat monitoring for all the things within the recreation, and it’s been recording within the background, so that you’re not ranging from scratch both. The sport additionally now shows participant ranges, though this received’t have an effect on matchmaking in public parks.
On-line play has seen loads of adjustments too. Now you can set a group color choice, and should you attempt to be part of a good friend’s park or a public park that’s full, you’ll be positioned on a waitlist. At launch, the sport would generally break up individuals throughout completely different matches, however now it will increase the possibility of correct 3-on-3 video games. There’s additionally an non-compulsory scoreboard, which is viewable in spectator mode as properly.
Nintendo has additionally tweaked the success charge of photographs, listed underneath “Different Notes” beneath—and it’s one of the detailed notes I’ve seen in patch notes for some time.

Made changes to extend the possibilities of 3-on-3 video games in public parks. Modified the sport begin place for 2-on-2 video games in public parks. The sport will now show the rating when utilizing the spectator digicam. Like offline bots, on-line bots will now move to gamers after they elevate their arms or use the “Hey” response.
Mounted Points:
Mounted a problem the place generally no report is made underneath Seek for Customers You’ve Performed With. Mounted a problem the place the sport would generally crash when beginning up the sport or heading to a park. Mounted a problem the place the shot success charge for photographs made instantly earlier than touchdown was primarily based on the place the place the shot was made.
Different Notes:
The success charge for photographs is affected by the gap to the ring (how shut the participant is to the ring) and the participant’s orientation in direction of the ring (how straight the participant is dealing with the ring). To be able to make it in order that bunny-hop photographs whereas approaching didn’t turn into excessively advantageous, the meant design was to calculate shot success charge for distance to the ring primarily based on the final level of contact with the bottom (the leaping off level). Nonetheless, only for when the participant took a shot instantly earlier than touchdown, the shot success charge was being calculated primarily based on the place the place the shot was made, which was not meant, so we have now fastened this. Nonetheless, there are not any adjustments to the success charge for orientation in direction of the ring.
