This game is a complete and utter JOKE

To say this game is completely unfair is completely an understatement. Yet another example of inclusive nonsense. Just have anybody in the world play anybody at any time no matter what their skill rating. That is the dumbest thing ever I’ve ever heard, this isn’t the NBA. I’ve worked so hard to get up to level 258 and they keep putting me up against players that are in the 300s with their overall rating. I don’t think that’s fair. You should be able to have a gauge to let you play who YOU WANT. It’s your game, if you want to win or if you want to make it harder to get better it’s on you. I keep playing all these clowns and I work my tail off to win and these people just walk down the court and shoot three’s like it’s nothing at the end of the game. That’s not fair. I should be able to build a lead before halftime and be comfortable. This shot for shot for shot back-and-forth nonsense is ridiculous. Even when I play on the easiest level the block they still put me up against opponents that have high overall ratings. I’m probably gonna delete this game soon, and I would not recommend it to anybody else. 👌🏻stars! One star would be a compliment.

Great gameplay but insulting store

First of all the game is just really fun. Offense can be incredible and you can even think up and run your own plays and the game rewards you for doing so. Defense needs a lot of work but it’s fine for now. My big issue is with the store and specifically the battle pass. It costs 15 dollars and the grand prizes are 4 chefs (curry) and 5 powermans (AD). That’s important because you need duplicates to upgrade players. The first upgrade only takes two players but the second takes 4 more. So this means that if you spend $15 on this mobile game, you get to upgrade these players 1 time and then have leftovers which are completely useless and the team behind this game must have known they were useless when they made it. What makes this worse is that the overalls of the players is too low to even be good. I’ve only been playing the game for 3 weeks and I couldn’t add either of the players to my team. They also sell legendary players in the shop occasionally but it’s only 1 player and it’s not the same ones from the battle pass. So it’s useless for anyone who’s actually playing the game for any extended period of time. If any of the developers are reading this, I am absolutely willing to spend money on this game because it’s super fun. However you have got to make it worth it. Make the legendary players start out at least as 50 overalls instead of 30. Im sure plenty of other people would want to buy these players if they were actually good as well.

Fun Game: minor tweaks needed

I really enjoy this game; I wish there were an option for longer games (there may be, but I’m still building my profile), but it’s been good so far. The ads aren’t too imposing like so many games, so thank you for that. I’m no programmer, but I feel a handful of tweaks would go a long way towards an even better gaming experience. First, I’d like an option to drop players that I don’t want or need; my bench is full of guys I have no need for, since you need to use coins to upgrade them to keep up with the competition. Being able to reinvest the value for those unneeded players is a far better choice. I also wish turnovers were so prevalent when the opposition doesn’t earn them. I don’t have enough control over where the ball goes and have noticed oftentimes when passing the defender simply steals the ball based on their position on the court. Lastly, when stealing the ball I end up taking a 3/4 court shot because the defense button is also the shoot button. I’m not sure what can be done, but even something as simple as a slight delay in the pass button working wound allow the player to dribble or pass the ball, rather than taking a shot they’ll never make. In close games this is maddening. Thank you for hearing me out. I look forward to enjoying your game.

Do not download this app, 90% cheaters playing this game

After the matchup I had with the opponent who’s lower power level than me, the player seems to be too hard to beat which made the game very boring and impossible to play and when I lose, it made me very upset because of the one point difference the opponent had. And when I did a rematch, the opponent seems to get very impossible to beat and even when I almost win the last minute, all I get was fouls, the opponent foul me non stop in order to have the position advantage, penalty score was also unfair, I only get 1 shot. This not only happened to me one but happened to me many times after my team reach 241 power level. Another opponent which had 221 and lower level than me was too fast to beat, I don’t even understand at all, the Post players on the opponent team seem to have more speed and agility than my team full of guard players. I think many opponents use hacks to win the whole game and the game itself doesn’t do anything about it. The worse part is that I can’t report a player for cheating because there’s isn’t any option to report. I feel like this game is not online but full of bots and AI that are programmed to cheat and hack the whole game. I won so many times against fair playing opponents but this time, I only lose because of the amount of cheaters in the game. I even tried to win a tournament but honestly I can’t win anymore because of the cheaters in the game.

Wow

This game is rigged for the CPU I read the reviews before I played it and everyone was saying the same thing but I thought it was just people weren’t good enough at the game. But after I played it I realized it truly is rigged. The game first starts out insanely easy but as you starts to play in harder tournaments it gets impossible. Like in a tournament the first two rounds are easy then the last round they turn into the dream team. You can’t even pass the ball more than 5 feet without it getting stolen, you can’t let the cpu come 5 feet within the ball because they will steal it instantly. You can time a shot perfect and air ball even with a character with a really high 3 point. The stats don’t even matter at all. But I’m order to steal from the CPU you have to spam steal like 20 times just to not even get the steal anyway. If you are winning by more than one possession in the finals you aren’t scoring anymore until the cpu scores first the game just won’t let you make anything. If you are gonna make steals overpowered for the cpu then make it like that for the user as well to make it fair . Game is completely rigged the only way you win is you have to getting super lucky and not give the cpu the ball back with 3 minutes left because they will somehow make it no matter what. This game had so much potential to be good. Also what’s the point of epic and rare cards if they can be a lower level than common cards it makes no sense.

On the way to greatness

1. Why isn’t their a woman in this game ( as I made this recommendation - a legendary woman player should be gifted to me) Names I’d recommend - Bird or (Blue Jay), Big Perm, Ace, Sparks, Swoopes, Big Classy) 2. Also their should be a player with glasses, these names should be easy. But if you must ask ( Court Vision) 2a - be nice to have an older player who can hoop - Uncle Drew esque…. At this point you know I’m giving you a name ( Ol Vet, Big AARP, Slow Mo, Fogey) 3. Defense - Possibly reduce the ability to spam the defend button for steals ( I benefit from this as well as have it done to me, it easily changes the outcome of games) - I’d recommend adding players who are strong in defensive attributes, so it becomes more strategic vs spamming defend …. Which means adding a defensive attribute…. Defense is half the game of basketball, there needs to be a defensive attribute for players, which gives you the opportunity to create more players 4. Offensive rebounds - how can a player get 3 offensive rebounds before a player can jump once? Also rebounding on missed free throws heavily favors the offense - you can’t even select a player during the free throw sequence 5. Blocks - how can a player have a dunk animation that has their hang time twice as long as a block animation…. Great time to create a shot blocked ( think Zo, or Mutombo) true rim protectors - should have awesome block animations Great game - I truly enjoy playing

Broken

The concept of this game is great. I like the cards where you can obtain collectible items to customize you team and players. However, the defense is completely broken. The “other online player” seems to have a flawless and impenetrable defense and steals the ball away very easily. When my team is on defense it takes a complete miracle to steal the ball away, rebound, or intercept a pass. I’ve watched replays of my players literally run their entire body through the ball while seeing them react to me pressing the “defense” button and the ball is not turned over. I get it’s a cartoon game that’s unrealistic but at least make the turnovers consistent for both sides. The shooting also makes little to no sense. My best shooter will be wide open on the three point line and I will shoot the ball perfectly but he’ll still miss. Sometimes I’ll be near the half court line and shoot in the yellow and make it. Same with dunking and layups. I can see every now and then missing a three point shot even if it’s “in the green” but, missing a layup that’s in the green ? That makes little to no sense even for a cartoon basketball game. These small fixed to this game would easily make it a 5 star contender on the App Store. Make it consistent on offense and defense for both teams.

Very bad defense and offense mechanics but a good game

This is a great game besides the gameplay. The layout of this game looks awsome and I enjoy upgrading my players but the problem is the actual gameplay. The game is almost entirely luck. Because of the AI it’s very hard to get inside shots when the defense is setup so you are forced to take many deep threes which often have a 42% chance to go in. On game you could score 6 points and other games you score 38. Very inconsistent which is not good for this type of competitive game. Another issue is the defense while the opponents AI is able to steal passing lanes and easily reach and poke you, your user is stuck with the inability to steal the ball before half court and the inability to get in front of a pass that you know the AI is going to make. This is the most frustrating thing about this game to me. Scoring 6 points on offense is fine but if I have the inability to play defense it becomes a huge deal and results in losing games. The blocking mechanisms also need to be reworked. It is very difficult to block a baseline shot because of the angle of the camera. That being said this game is enjoyable and a good game for a short time but if you play to play it a lot you will get frustrated over time.

Bad game, full of luck and gameplay is trash

Ok, for starters I love this game company and I was incredibly disappointed when I played this game for the first time, the season pass is so ridiculously expensive and whenever you want to steal the ball or play defense you cannot, you either spam the defense and nothing happens or when you jump to block it you are a mile off. Also I’ve noticed whenever you switch players it just brings you to the one closest to the ball and on paper that sounds fine but if the ball is moving away from that player, you cannot reach it and the one guy open on the side will not go for it because the ai does nothing, also everybody you play against is a bot/ai so this finding a match is just stupid. Lastly I would like to talk about shooting, WHO CAME UP WITH THIS????? Even if you get perfect timing wide open 3 pointer there is still a 40-30% chance you miss, also they miss the rim way too often, even if you time it almost perfectly they can miss the rim and it’s the opponents ball. Ok, now this is it, if you win a free dunk or whatever it’s called to win a prize, wait for your daily one first because after you use the one you got from the pass, the timer starts over. So this game is very disappointing and hard to play/teach.

Some things should be changed.

First off, when you start playing the game is very fun. It kind of gets old as you go one as you can only play basic 5 on 5. There is a dunk contest thing also but that can only be played once a day (unless you want to pay). One issue I have is that they pretend you are playing against real people but in reality it’s just an AI. It really bugs me when they make me wait 10 seconds for a match to be “found” or for another game to “finish”. The opponent skill level is also very inconsistent. Some games I’ll win by 15 and others I’ll lose by 15 to the same level opponent. I get that they are trying to make the game competitive but at least make it noticeable when it will be more difficult. The inconsistency of shooting is also a big issue. Some games my players seem to make every shot and others they can barely get one to not be an air ball. There’s a shooting bar for when to release the button on your shots for accuracy. This essentially means nothing. I could have 5 shots in a row where I land it in the green zone and none of them go in. This makes zero sense and needs to be changed. Please fix these and I’ll change my rating for sure.

Terrible game that focuses on microtransactions

This game was alright at the start, however the competition to begin with was very weak. They seem to match you up with “real” players who even all have profile pics and everything. However as you level up and progress, there is huge incentive to buy their packs/season pass/cards. You can go by just fine without these upgrades, however you will soon begin being matched up with cpus/players (it really seems as though these are bots) that have highly outranking cards than you. Beyond that, the game has steal/block mechanics in the game. These are easily exploited by these higher ranked cards to where you can’t even dribble/get a shot off without getting hacked and you also in turn, can’t successfully steal the ball away from the opposition. I have tested this out and the steal mechanics are very inconsistent to the point it is game breaking. I really wished this game was more fun and better, but again we’re just left with an abundance of in app purchases and terrible gameplay. I wish I could give this 0 stars and have a sit down with the developers so that I may steer them away from game development entirely to focus on bettering the world and not worsening it with more crap.

Fix this game

I like this game it’s fun and stuff but one they need to fix them defending in the game like defending while they opponent is dunking cause sometimes I’m right in front of them and hitting the defend button and they still make it. Two they need to add more game modes and more rewards caise the game gets boring like actually do a 1v1 or 2v2 than 5 on 5 as a 1v1 and make the shooting score better cause it’s like the shooting is based off of luck where I make a lot then miss even while I shoot in the green or yellow and make the games more longer or add more rounds to at least 3 rounds or longer times for the first and second round. And make the heads of the characters smaller cause when I play to see who gets the ball all I see is heads clashing together and barely seeing the ball and make the game faster and stuff cause I try to claim the reward and it says updating and takes a while where I have to restart the game and make it where after you score you don’t have to go in a replay of the play you made and see it in different angles, just see it in one angle or take it out. And make competitive system fair cause I be going against lower and higher than me

Good Idea but Poor Execution

The overall gameplay of this game is very fun. It’s high-energy and fast-paced like most basketball games in real life. However the AI and rubberbanding is absolutely abysmal. The AI can steal the ball and block you at will to keep games close. Nobody on your team knows how to rebound to the point in which the AI can shoot a corner 3 from one corner and run to the other corner to grab the rebound before your players that are idly standing by. The shooting system is extremely flawed. You can time the shot perfectly and get a >60% chance of making the shot, only to have your player completely airball. This can happen numerous times in a row from all over the court. How well your team shoots depends entirely on how close the game is. If it’s a close game (3 points or fewer, or you’re losing) you’ll make every shot that’s timed well. Once you get a lead of more than 5-6 points, it seems like it’s almost impossible to score or defend. This game has potential to be very good, but having poor AI and rubberbanding mechanics to introduce artificial difficulty into a game are very cheap ways to do so, and greatly detract from a possibly very good game.

Needs work

The game itself isn’t bad, but the way it was made is just poor. First off the ai’s, I understand they are npc’s (non playable characters) but they should atleast be coded to go after the ball for a rebound and on defense they should be on the same level as the offensive ai’s. The shooting definitely needs work as well. Say I’m at the 3point line and I green it, there is a 60-40% chance that I’m making it. I will be shooting from almost half court and swish it. Whoever designed the game did good but whoever coded and actually made the game must of been a rookie because it’s poor. Another thing it defense, the defense is just plain out terrible. I will jump up to block a dunk and bro will just slam it on my head like I didn’t contest it. Also, if you want to make overalls and stats, please make them accurate. I have a outside shooter that is 48 in stats for shooting but he has like a 50-50% chance of making it. Also to say I have a inside shooter that is also 48 but even when I green it he misses it. It’s almost like a autistic monkey coded the game and it’s annoying. I want to delete the game so bad but I’ve already spent $15 on this trash app.

Could be a great game, but it’s just not.

I’m going to be honest here, I love basketball and I loved playing this game….. for the first 45 minutes. Playing the first few matches it’s very fun to get the hang of, and the players make good shots. After about the first 4 games I started noticing something, all the “teams” I was getting matched up against had the exact same characteristics. Simple name, and literally a stock photo from some advertising or something. You only play CPUs. And after you get a little further into the game, these CPUs are all about 2 levels higher than you, but they basically have all epic and legendary players who are absolutely cracked. They just chase right after whatever character has the ball and spam the steal button, but they are faster than your characters so they get the steal every time. Game would be cool if I played a single real person, I would be tempted to spend money on a game like this but the reality of the situation forced me to realize, that would be an absolute waste of money, and I hope others don’t make that mistake.

Seems unfair at times

First off the game is fun a great way to kill time, but it seems like the game wants me to lose. For example I miss 80%+ wide open dunks but I made dunks with 60% while being contested once I will a couple games in a row they will match me with a opponent that is way high ranking and rating then my team just for me to lose. It also seems like I can never steal the ball as much as my opponent does and some of the steals be mind blowing like steals from behind from a space away as soon as I pass the ball etc. also it always seems like the opponent can just dribble right pass me while I’m spamming the steal button but 99.9% of the time if I do it then it get instantly stolen from me. The shots that you make be heavily contested but I will miss wide open with a great percentage and high rating 3pt. The game needs a lot of bug fixes and better defensive contest on shots and it shouldn’t nearly be as easy to steal the ball it just feels like I have no control over it. But overall it a good game.

Money Grab

It’s fun, but to win you need to spend to get the best players. Even then you never get any cards to boost them. They want you to believe you are playing other people but you ain’t, it’s a computer and it is infallible. It can sprint forever, plays impeccable defense, and can run through four players and score with ease. This mfer can pull up and crush you with a last second shot from half court no problem. You on the other hand are instantly drained and vulnerable to steals in a millisecond if you dare hit sprint. You pass the ball to an open dude…sorry three computer defenders can be there in seconds to slam you to the ground. You’ll be friggin crushing that little green line on your shots and players will miss the basket by a mile. Defense? Forget about it. You can be right on a ai dude and they will blow right by you, fly through you to nail a dunk, and never lose stamina. Kudos to the genius who put the steal button and the shoot button in the same place. Nothing like finally getting a steal and instantly having your dude chuck it all the way down court. This s@&t is like a casino slot machine, it will let you win a little but when it wants to win it will.

Great game! here’s how to make it even better

I personally love this game! however i have a few ideas towards making this game even better. i personally love the fact, they have replica players to real life superstars, however i feel as if they should have some type of ability. Ex. Akronite is more “clutch” in the games final 5 seconds, or another Ex. Big hands has increased stealing in the last few seconds of the game. simple abilities like that to the legendary players in the game can make it way better. And possibly an easier chance to obtain the legend players aside buying them alone. Lastly, please make the shot bar more realistic. meaning i feel when i score a 71%, it has the same percent of making it as if i had scored a 34%. besides the minor ideas and tweaks, i personally love this game and will continue to play and recommend! cheers!

I tried but the developers gave up!!!!!

Imagine a game that with a few development tweaks would be an epic basketball game? Well that is this one. I played for a while and here is my honest review. First, don’t let them fool you most of the time you are not playing a human player. This becomes glaringly obvious as every dunk gets blocked, and they transition from a steal to a perfect shot instantly. But here is the real problem. Three point shots fall at a higher percentage than dunks, in which 3 out of 4 get blocked. Also there is a problem with the fact that literally none of your players will go get a rebound. This means that you can play great defense and 9 out of 10 times if the offensive player misses they get the rebound. But again, this is only if you are playing a bot. Finally, the ability to pass to the player you want is awful. You can have a wide open player down the court and still it will pass to a player one foot away and most often get stolen. This can legit be a great game but after getting up to level 30 I think I am giving up.

Can be a blast or total headache

Overall this game is addicting. The variety with tournaments and seasons is fun and I enjoy this over the soccer version of this game. There are some issues though. The matchmaking makes no sense. As a 250 I could be up against a 240 or a 350, that clearly is imbalanced. It is not competitive when matched with an overpowered opponent and it ruins the game. There needs to be distinguished levels on matchmaking so it is always competitive. Sometimes the CPU can perform actions I simply cannot. Their ability to steal a ball instantly on a rebound for example is ridiculous. The passing is a headache at times as the CPU will launch themselves in front of any pass while the on ball defender will steal it. My defenders do not react this way, requiring me to always switch defenders. You can physically jump through someone and they will still make a shot. Overall it’s fun and I will keep playing but sometimes you just know that nothing can be done to win a game and that’s extremely dumb.

Enjoyable, at first…

When I first got the game I thought it was a lot of fun, but that quickly changed… I soon realized I was playing computer players and no real time people and a lot of wide open shots I take that hit the green meter miss terribly, but contested shots the AI take go in almost every time. Plus the tournaments are just completely ridiculous. You have to pay a lot of your in game credits just to get in to the tournament and the rewards are pretty much always mediocre. Maybe a cool pair of sneakers or a jersey from time to time, but mainly common rarity players that are not worth spending so many credits to get. What made me delete this game was when I had payed 5k credits to play a quick match. I won the game and was supposed to earn my 5k back and 5k from the opponent (10k total). I quickly respond to a text and return back to the game to find out that not only did the game not save, BUT I LOST THE CREDITS I PAYED TO PLAY THE GAME. If you get this game prepare yourself to get very frustrated and disappointed. But if that’s what you like then this is the game for you.

Unbelievable

I thought this game would boost my boredom after playing so many games that I have beaten already but it did not. I first joined the game and it was super and easy and fun and I thought it would be like other sports games I have played where it progressively gets harder. But, once you get past at least the first or second tournament, even if your playing 1v1s it is impossible to win. These cpus to miss a shot, they steal the ball from you every 2 seconds, and it doesn’t matter about the rarity of any card because I have common cards that are better than epic ones. I feel like this game could have potential but I just don’t understand on how I have a way better team than an opponent I’m facing and then get destroyed because I can’t dribble the basketball once without it getting stolen from every 5 seconds. The creator of this game, I really hope you read this and change your game to make it more fun because I would gladly play this game more often if you could improve the game that I think can have more potential than it already has.

It’s good but…

I gave 5 stars because it is a very fun game and the graphics are nice. The one problem I have that I can’t seem to get passed though is how your players don’t have stats. If I have a player that scores 10 points in a game, it goes unnoticed after the game is over . It would be awesome to have player game stats and maybe it could be used as a way that they level up . I will prob move onto something else cause this kind a kills it for me. I wish game companies would spend a little more time making their game cooler with the little things instead of worrying so much about how many packs and gems they are going to sell. There just isn’t much passion in game developing these days and it’s sad…

My opponents be invincible

OK I’ve had this game for a pretty long time and I put a lot of money into this game like for the season passes and for individual characters I want to say I spit maybe about a total of $80 and I have a good amount of players but for some reason no matter who I match up with my opponents or able to sprint down the court with one player able to make it all the way on the other side of the court without me being able to take it no matter how close I am in how many times I push to reach button. For some reason, they can just sprint across court with the ball without me being able to do anything about it. Every time I intend to do this move where I tried to bring up the ball full court with just one guy the ball gets snatched immediately and I can’t freaking stand It is completely biased. I can never get more than five dribbles with one player no matter how many moves I use, but miraculously they can just sprint down the court in a straight line, and just make a lay up.

Excellent Quality, Could Use Some Tweaks

I find this game really fun to play when I have downtime, but it’s annoying to me as a basketball fan that there aren’t 12 minute quarters instead of the 24 minute halves in game. Additionally, a longer match time could be nice, especially when 1 minute gives no time to play. Speaking of which, add a minimum time to start a play off of an inbound pass. In the NBA, that’s .3 seconds, not too quick that it’s impossible to shoot, but not too long to have long plays. Finally, I’d like to note the store. Particularly, I’m sorry asking about how the bundles of card packs are just grouped together, and give me no information as to what each pack contains. This ruins the value of the shop, as players are expecting certain things when the purchase it. If the dev team sees this, you’ve done a great job so far, but I believe you can do even better!

Needs work

I want so badly to like this game. I also want for defense to be possible (and my player's hands not go through the ball instead of grabbing it), wide open shots that I get in the green meter to not hit the top of the backboard, and for the game to not pretend these are real people instead of AI that's either legendary or terrible with no relation to the team rating. Also, there is obviously a glitch on rebounding. More times than not, my players will literally run the opposite way, run in place, or stare down a ball going to the other team or even passing them by to go out of bounds. And, the better my players "rating" becomes, the worse they play. It seems like this game has a competitive algorithm that's not working properly. I've noticed that if I'm down at halftime, my players will play way better in the second half. Whereas if I'm leading at halftime, they'll miss every shot and fail to play defense until I've blown an 8 point lead.

8 months ago, READ ME NOW 🙏

‼️Please Read This Developers‼️

I’ve had this game for awhile and I used to love it so much, but something has changed. I’m not that good, so I usually play at the block. It used to match me up with someone almost my level maybe a little more, but not to where it would effect my game. Since the last update it has been putting me against people way better than me, I’m talking like 100 POINTS better than me. It would be understandable if I were to play at a high level area, but I only play at the block. It’s crazy and makes it so hard to have fun if you can’t even get the ball. If you have read this thank you and please fix it. It wont even let me play against anyone with a lower score than 330 anymore so please make it fair to everyone I’ve seen other comments just like this and hopefully you will patch it soon ! 😇 😊

I’d say find a better game.

This game has crazy potential to super fun and it can be at times. With that being said this game is awfully rigged. Changing players only to have them pulled back so you can’t even chase down opponent. Not sure why they have a shooting meter you can line it up in the green and depending on the score you’ll throw it into the crowd. Player will shokg when you select pass and pass when you select shokt. Buttons far enough apart that you can’t confuse the two. Players will randomly just stop the dribble again depending on the score. Do t get too big of a lead because you will lose. I had a 24-0 lead at half time and lost 30-24. Riiiight. Sometimes can’t chase ball out Of bounds won’t even let you go after it. Like hitting a wall. Just too many frustrating things to keep playing this game. It’s clearly built to get you just close enough so you think spending a little money will get you over the edge but that isn’t the case. Stay away I say

borderline unplayable

this game stinks, the absence of an actual defensive system makes this game unbearable to play. For one you can’t move or pass the ball without it getting immediately yanked by the defenders. How are you supposed to avoid it? no clue. There’s no dribble rating for players nor is there a steal/defense rating so is it just luck? then how come i can stand in front of a defender and repeatedly swipe just to have it fail and somehow end in a score but when my players (who all have better stats) catch the ball it’s immediately stolen. Oh and if i do manage to get a shot off and get a good release a “%70” chance to make just misses, every time. Not to mention the game is an obvious cash grab with all sorts of micro transactions to even play half of it. Overall don’t wast your time or your money there obviously isn’t any effort being put into making this game actually make sense and not just be a watered down luck simulator with you always losing so that they can get more money.

Fun but low value

The game is fun when you 1st start playing but after a while you realize you are just playing the ai. Building players also feels fun but it does not matter either. There is no difference between common, rare, extraordinary, or legendary players. Player rating is the only thing that matters. In short, don’t spend a nickel on players. The last point is the AI can be impossible. It gets twice as many rebounds, forces you to pass the ball off target, steals the ball in the most improbable ways, makes you miss dunks with high inside scoring players, and blocks layups. Those are just some of the things that “just happen” and cause you to lose. As you get better and advance through the leagues, the above phenomenon happens practically every game. When I made it to the diamond league, it was so bad that I lost 8 games in a row. It was downright infuriating. Anyways, just be prepared for lots of nonsense.

Unbelievable

It’s unfathomable how much I still want to play this game despite how inconsistent it is. I run the length of the court on defense spamming the steal button and then jump to contest his layup, nothing - not even a foul. I can’t even make two passes in the offensive end without it getting picked off. Any contested shot I take gets blocked whereas I’ll jump and have a computer help defender jump and we get posterized with dunks every single time. Don’t even get me started on loose-ball rebounding. The guys on the wing who just stare at the ball as it goes right past them within an arms reach, or even if I do control that guy, he stops the step before he would pick up the ball and the other team scoops it and takes it. I know I can’t be Superman and win 50-0 every game but there’s no way the other team needs no evasive maneuvering to earn a layup without even passing once. Oh, and a missed uncontested shot from the paint at 70% with the game on the line is a tough look too.

Great Game. Exaggerated Difficulty

This is currently one of my favorite games! I love the graphics and gameplay and the rewards are accurate for the games, tournaments and competition. I really don’t have any issues with this game other then the gameplay difficulty. A lot of times it is very one-sided with fouls and shooting accuracy. The same plays I make causes fouls while the opponent knocks my players out the air and earn a steal. I feel the shooting capability and overall computer/bot difficultly can be more optimized and more realistic based on the overall rating of the team. Other then that this is a wonderful game and takes me back to my mini cool game days!!!

Sad

I loved this game at first, however the inconsistency in the game play is ridiculous. I understand the positioning, and mechanics to get shots that have a higher green bar you need to be in position. I’m a souls player so my timing is spot on, I can hit dead center with almost 100% accuracy. I almost always get 5 dunks in the dunk competition. However recently when I play it doesn’t matter how accurate I am shots won’t go in. I’ll pass it to a player who’s in position, wide open by themselves. They are also the highest rated player on the field with max stamina huge green bar get it dead center and he’ll miss. Meanwhile my opponents will take shots with their lowest rated player while I’m blocking the shot and still drain all of their shots. I’m assuming this is some sort of system to cater to casual players but it’s broken. What’s the point of even having game mechanics if they don’t mean anything?

Balancing player matches

I like the game, but have 1 complaint. At certain points of team development it seems like you only get matched up with folks who are far better rated, meaning they have players with better overall stats. For me, those teams have 20%+ more points and that’s like a community college team playing against a NBA team… I would suggest adding an algorithm to limit the difference in overall team points. Also, some of these higher players enter lower level tournaments leaving no hope for those players playing at lower levels. When I play vs players around my level I win and I lose but I at least have a chance; currently I can enter a game as 224 and end up playing a 270… there’s almost no chance of scoring let alone being competitive… please fix and I’ll review again

Love it! But…

This game is an absolute blast! However, there are a few things that are very annoying to deal with. 1st, when you shoot, a perfectly timed shot may result an a complete air ball, yet a shot that wasn’t timed right and ought to end up resulting in a miss or close to one… GOES IN ALMOST EVERY TIME LOL. 2nd, the button you tap to steal the ball instantly transforms into the button you use to shoot, as soon as the ball is taken. It’s very hard to tell who has the ball with 3-4 players covering up the view of it; so often times you’ll steal and immediately end up chucking the ball across the entire court. Very frustrating. Third, ALL of the card packs (including the more rare ones) rarely yield anything actually interesting, rare or worth grinding for. I have a team of 5 players, and a bench with countless (and I mean COUNTLESS) sub par players that will never ever be used. Wish I could flip them for coins. BUT, then again, even in the shop where you spend coins on new players and upgrades, the choices are always terrible. Hardly ever any player cards worth investing in. Hence why I have a massive amount of coins that are rarely touched. Love the general mechanics and art style of the game, but would be way more enticing with a few fixes.

Honest opinion

I have been playing this game for months. I have probably spent $300 on it. I have definitely played over a thousand games. When you are losing you can steal and block shots more easily. You make shots from practically half court if you want. The game decides a lot of who wins. There are many games I was down then I start stealing the ball hitting 3s. All of a sudden as I get close to being tied the steals stop. Also guards with hardly any jumping will block your post player with a lot of jumping ability. It’s fun but I wouldn’t expect that much. The ability to steal the ball will drive you nuts after a while. You steal they steal back so fast you don’t know what happened No I am not good at ball handling. Hitting the shot meter in the dead center and missing and then missing the sweet spot and making will raise an eyebrow. Once you pay attention you will get it. Like I said I have a lot of fun playing but it’s basically a rigged game

Needs update

Overall the game is great I like the layout and the way you build your team from scratch. The only thing that bothers me is the gameplay. Once you get to a certain league or tournament it is impossible some games to even score on offense. The opponent team can steal from you any second you don’t pass the ball fast enough and it’s hard to move the ball around. What I don’t understand is why you can be more open some plays and completely air ball or just flat out miss the shot, especially when your dunking the ball. And what is the point of tactics? Another thing is why Is it that you play full court pressure if your opponents are just going to go right by you and score. With that being said the game just needs some fixing because it is a new game but it has a lot of potential

2 years ago, just wish it was better

Could be better

The game and gameplay isn’t bad. And the game was a lot of fun at first. But after a while the game gets annoying. You get overwhelmed with useless players in your team lineup page. Then in the actual gameplay whatever algorithm the game uses to decide when shots go in is broken. When your “shooters” can’t make a single shot, in their ideal position and you time the shot perfectly in the green bar, and it’s still a crazy air ball. There is no way to practice or get better at the game. You are just at the mercy of the algorithm. If you are okay with losing for no reason then great, you will love this game and it’s mechanics. The last game I played I lost 12-0 and had at least 6 steals all went down and turned into air balls or complete misses. That’s not a player problem. That’s a basket algorithm problem. I hope you enjoy the game more than I did

Unfair AI

If you want an honest review of the game. First 2 hours you play against the easy AI. Low defense, not doing much. Letting you shoot. Then the fun begins. At some point you get to the harder AI. If you dribble for more than 1 second they will come to you to steal it. If you do a dribble move to get around them you run out of energy and someone comes to help immediately. You don’t get the same steals they do, they just dribble right by you. They make all the shots they take unless you block it. Blocks are random. Sometimes you’re right on them and you get a block and other times they can shoot. If they get to shoot a jump shot they don’t miss. If they do miss rebounding is horrid. They run to the ball but you can’t switch onto the right player in time so they beat you to EVERY BALL unless it bounces right to you. If you get a steal they steal it back immediately so you need to pass. They can also steal that pass too so be careful. The shooting is not at all accurate. The percentage at the bottom means close to nothing. You air all a lot of greens. You miss a lot of dunks. You basically need to spray and pray for 3. It’s beatable. I’ve done it. But it’s frustrating. It’s not fair, and it’s not fun.

Needs improvement

When I’m in the middle of the game and receive a notification from another app , I tap the notification from the other app but when I click back it automatically simulates the game. When I even the pause the game it still resumes. This is really frustrating. Also, I need an option to choose a uniform before the game because when I started a match, the other team had the same color jersey. We need to have an automatic home jersey that’s white no matter what so we can tell the difference. We need to know what the other team is wearing in order to play. Also, the madness arena’s mid court logo looks very distracting to the point where I can’t find my players. Also, it would be cool to friend request your opponents so you can play them more often. Also, there should be a season mode with 8-32 teams !!

Game puts a cap on your team

Game is SUPER fun until you get to the pro league. Then it starts going out of its way to ensure you lose. Forcing turnovers even though you just blocked their shot or stole the ball, your players miss open shots while theirs NEVER miss, fouls are ONLY called against your team, etc. Its literally like there’s a cap against your team. I tried upgrading my team since the teams I kept facing were 10-20 points better than my team. As SOON as I did that, then they started matching me against people whose teams are almost 40 points and 1-2 experience levels ahead of me. There is literally an invisible cap on your team to where once you hit a certain point, you’ll just constantly lose to teams slightly better than yours, then once you upgrade your team to try and beat them, they’ll match you against people whose teams are WAY better than the teams you were just playing.

The game is P2W.

Sadly. Had my hopes up for this one. But just like the others it’s a Pay 2 Win. Been in engineering to long to understand. The game will put you in games that you think you’re playing against “real people” but you’re not. You’re playing AI’s who were made fake profiles to increase your hype on a win streak. Notice the same pass, same time responding, same everything. For every game. The 50/60% shot doesn’t matter. For people who are confused and want to try for them selfs, do the win streak game mode. You’ll get bots for your first 5 wins. Noticing your shots with a 5% and 10% will make it every time. No doubt. But once you’re in the 5 win streak, and you get 65+%, you’ll miss every time. It’s to get you to spend money on a poor game. The graphics were nice, but poorly made all round. Don’t waste your time nor money on this game. It’s sad, but true that people out there will do anything to take peoples money.

The game is fun but mechanics make it frustrating

The game is definitely fun and skill based, but there are a couple of little annoyances that you’ll see when playing the game: first of all, the block feature only works half of the time when the other team is shooting, I can have two players literally inside of the player shooting and he somehow still hits a 3 which is just completely annoying. Also, if a shot or pass is going to the other side of the 3 point line, the player won’t chase after the ball if you don’t select them and move them, they’ll just stand there and watch it. I also believe that a fun addition to the game would be putting a 1% or 2% chance on a full court shot, just for fun, but sometimes it is at zero still at the half line.

Catch-up AI ruins initial fun

Avoid this game, regardless of what the rating shows. The game is simple but enjoyable for the first few days; however, at a certain point, the catch-up AI kicks up and stops you from having success. Similar to most sports games from back in the day, the computer controlled teams (which are supposedly “actually” players) will make impossible shot and play perfect defense while your players will miss open layups, make errant passes, and struggle to get steals. Additionally, the shoot button will occasionally get “stuck”, which will result in your players immediately heaving full court shots every time they touch the ball. And, as with too many mobile games, the microtransactions are predatory in that the company is charging you $15 for one or two players (a steal since the regular price is $30). Although it’s clear the game doesn’t have rights to players, many suspiciously look like currently NBA superstars (e.g., Joel Embiid is renamed “JoJo” for example. Notable too is how quickly the game devolves into waiting 3 - 12 hours to open a chest, 24+ hours to play a certain game modes. Of course, you could pay money to open prizes sooner or watch endless advertisements of other microtransaction-laden games. Avoid this one.

What a game!!!

I’m a 55 year old former Marine, and at my earlier ages, competitive in every sport I played because I simply hate to lose. I decided to try this game. It It was a random decision. To date; I think I have logged more than 2500 games with people around the world. I love it. I don’t love basketball per se , but the intensity you feel when the clock is winding down and I’m down by one point is youthful and highly energetic.I wanna think the creators of this game for giving me so many hours and days and weeks and months of fun. I pick up my phone today to make a phone call and I’ll take 150 seconds and deviate and play real quick game. I love it. Thank you. Semper Fi.

Addictive!! I love it!

Im not 1 to right reviews for apps unless its really good or really bad …has to really do something for me to have me feeling its really good but this game definitely does it for me. Very clear tutorial right from start, teaching how to do the moves required and gradually gets u to where u need to in order to play. As someone who never plays sports games or games really at all to be knowledgable of any sport, it wasnt long before I was whoopin everyone I played on this and on my way to building a champion team no doubt. The best game for whenever in need to kill some time , especially for those with a competitive side! Highly recommend !!A++++

Gaming mechanics

It really baffles my mind how you can have a player that’s rated to be a certain level and when you utilize those skills at the given level with end of given range level that they are obsolete when playing with the computer/a real player for instance of making it really baffles my mind how you can have a player that’s rated to be a certain level and when you utilize those skills at the given level with end of given range level that they are obsolete when playing with the computer/a real player for instance if I shoot in the green dead center not even saying that I should make it every time but I should be I have a higher level of accuracy but it’s to the point to where I have a better chance of making it shooting outside of the lines in the yellow then I didn’t shoot in a green and given in any given situation and it just blows my mind

Slow

Usually I don’t leave reviews, but this game has a ton of potential that’s being wasted.. For starters it takes a solid few minutes to boot up the game, matches take forever to start which doesn’t make sense because i’m 90% sure i’m not actually playing against real people. The controls are messed up, the block button becomes the shoot button as soon as the ball turns over, so I accidentally attempt full-court shots at least 3 times a game which is very frustrating and ruins a lot of my games. Slow motion dunking is super not useful for the pace of the game and also is a completely different timing to block on defense.. Player switching and passing feels like it happens completely random sometimes and can be very frustrating when trying to rebound. I would rate this 5 stars if a few of these issues were fixed but this game is almost unplayable….

So Much Fun!!!

This game starts off playing against bots and while I will admit playing the bots is quite boring and easy it’s still very fun. Once you get to the point where you start playing real people is when the game gets fun. The only thing I don’t like about the game is how easy it is to get steals like every possession i either turn the ball over or make a three. I also don’t like how the dunks are in slow motion. I understand it is for visual appeal but the timing throws me off every time. I have really enjoyed the addition of the battle pass but 15$? 15$ is way to much to be spending on a mobile game but your almost forced to so you have a chance at winning. Thanks for reading, I really enjoyed your game!!
