In Online you can do ranked or friendly matches, as well as the weekly challenges. The Play section is more for couch multiplayer, and includes a Tournament mode, a tutorial, and the aforementioned friendly matches and career. In any mode you can also choose to play men’s or women’s teams. Finally you can edit your team colors and nationality. Career Mode lets you play a whole season, and there are also weekly online challenges. Some of these modes overlap into one another, but the Home section is more for single players and includes Friendly Matches where you play a round with two teams. Speaking of modes, there are plenty to choose from here. While I do appreciate that the controls require you to use more strategy and teamwork, two volleyball staples, I also feel they controls are a bit too complex sometimes and I think the game could’ve benefitted with a simplified Arcade Mode. On defense, you can choose a formation for the players by the net to have, and then press the square button at the right time for them to jump and block the shot. You must choose different buttons to decide which player will hit the ball, and once you do that, you must quickly decide how they’ll hit it. Spike Volleyball takes a more simulation approach with more realistic controls and gameplay. But now there is a new indoor volleyball game with Spike Volleyball for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (reviewed on PS4 here). In fact, one of my favorite sports games is SEGA’s Beach Spikers on the GameCube. Oh sure there are a few beach volleyball games here and there. As far as sports video games are concerned, there’s not a whole lot out there for indoor volleyball.
