The better of the Pickleball VR apps...
I have had a chance to try "Pickleball VR" and compare them with the other apps. And for now as an AppLab Pickleball trainer (which is still under development and not finalized), it has a lot of potential but there are a few things I hope developers consider in forthcoming updates (which I am hoping there are plans for updates). a) With most training simulators, there is a video or instructions that make it easier for different players to understand on what to do. This would be good to see that. b) An easy selection menu of quitting/restarting while pausing would be nice. c) While the better of the VR Pickleball games in terms of physics, there is always room for improvement, especially in serving. Certain mid-strength hits go far over the fence, certain heavy-strength hits are mid. d) While I like the ball sounds and bird chirps, custom music accessibility would be a great option, as some will use this trainer as a work out. e) Wall Mode - Heading to the cold season, would be great to have a wall mode to hit balls freely. f) Quick Reaction/Return Mode; Volley mode, Volley return mode g) Mini Games - Hit bowling pins, cones, balloons, targets, etc. (similar to tennis game training modes/mini-games) h) Achievement mode - Earn achievements, utilize different racquet faces/colors i) Different venues and locations, scenery j) Now this is just more of a dream request but similar to a popular table tennis game on VR, a ghost opponent or bot would be great. I know this is an app more for training, but to have a ghost opponent would be nice. There is no doubt that "Pickleball VR" has a lot of potential. Considering it's made from a bigger company, compared to the other games, this could really be something much bigger and better if they want. Hopefully more updates are forthcoming. I like what I see so far! Also, it's unusual but this app shows up on the mobile version of the store app, but not on the desktop version when keyword, "pickleball" is searched.
