About Flying Disc League

Flying Disc League is ultimate frisbee as a competitive online multiplayer game: 2v2 up to full 7v7, on dedicated servers, against real players, at Pavilion Gardens on the seafront.

You take control of one player on the field for the whole point. Cut to get open, read the flight to make the catch, then pick your throw and watch the disc fly just as it would in real life. Nothing is scripted, and nothing is completed for you (unless you want it to be).

Realistic throws

With one simple click-and-drag method, your selected throw can be released with any angle or power you want, and it flies like a real 175g disc. Line it up and a ribbon traces its flight before you let go, so you can see the curve of an inside-out backhand or the drop of a hammer, and once it's away a trail follows the disc through the air. Backhands, flicks, hammers, blades: throw them where you like, or fake to get the defence to bite. Put it where your teammate wants it, or lead them out to space.

A real team game

Every goal needs a thrower and a catcher, and ultimate frisbee is won through teamwork. Every point is full of challenges:

• Throwing: take the open pass, hit the deep shot, throw to space
• Catching: read the flight, box out the defenders, lay out full-length if you need to
• Cutting: fake out your defender, use your speed, give-and-go
• Defending: get a point block, win your matchup, read the game

Call a timeout to vote on your offence / defence, but nothing is scripted: you control your every move.

Movement first

Movement, laying out and netcode have been our priorities from day one. Cutting, changing direction and laying out full-length for the disc are built to feel tight and responsive, and the game is made for online play, so a layout catch against real players feels as good as one against the bots.

Play your way

• Auto-aim in casual play, with green/yellow/red targeting hints
• Bots that play like a team, from beginner to expert, and fill any open spot
• Take control of whoever has the disc, automatically or at the press of a button, or play as one character all game
• A tutorial that teaches the throws and the catches
• Team up with friends against other players or against the bots

Controller or keyboard

Full controller support with a scheme built around the throw itself: squeeze the trigger to grip and release to throw, while the buttons pick the throw and its power and the sticks control the aim and curve. Mouse and keyboard players can bind the 10 base throws to their own keys, or keep it simple with click, drag and release.

Every catch counts

Your career stats live in the Account tab, and our website has a league table of everyone who has thrown and caught a pass: games, wins, goals, assists, blocks, completions, turnovers and hockey assists.

Made by ultimate players

Made by a player with decades of experience, Flying Disc League is ultimate as we know it, online.
