The spike and serve are two fundamental actions performed in volleyball. To obtain the best references possible, the developers held several motion capture sessions, in which 50 sensors were attached to professional players to capture their movement, timing and technique.

50 national teams, men’s and women’s, go head to head in a realistic simulation of all aspects of the sport. Speed, reflexes, teamwork: all the elements needed for success are there in a spectacular and immersive sports experience.
