  • Laggy!!!

    I’ve been playing this game for multiple months now, and I’ve gotten fairly good at the game. And I think the game is extremely well made as a whole! The only issue is the lag. I’ve been getting SO much lag lately. While my iPad is good enough to handle the game at a solid level, there are many areas in which you could fix or change some things. For example, the crowds. I feel that the biggest issue with lag is the crowds. If I go into the drills and I get a 3 on 3 or full court drive, it is silky smooth. But if I go into a tourney match, I get a heavy frame rate drop. If you could add a disable crowds switch, that would help a LOT.

    Another issue with the game is the graphics. I love the graphics, and I heavily adore them. But they can get in the way of the overall experience. I think of big part of it is the “RTX” of sorts. And I’m aware that there is no true RTX. It’s just that the players can be a little too realistic and the clothing too animated. I don’t think that’s a big part of the lag, but it is definitely one of them.

    Other than that, I think that this game is VERY well made and fun to play for long periods of time. WOULD RECOMMEND!!!

  • Fun but needs work

    The game is fun, don’t get me wrong. The very appealing card art makes unlocking cards so fun, even if the cards are lower end. I don’t seem to struggle to unlock cards, the draft board picks you get after tournament games give you good opportunities to unlock collectables, power ups, and even cards. The issue I have lies in the sheer gameplay. The AI is boarder-line dumb and they don’t cover their man half the time, leading to easy open shots. The controls are smaller so people with fatter fingers like I do mis-click buttons all the time and there is a pretty big delay for controls to respond frequently which causes your player to just do stupid things(example: clicking jump for a defensive rebound and then your character chucking a full court shot because the rebound button becomes the shoot button when you gain possession). Overall, the game is fun but the slow gameplay, delayed controls, and stupid AI make it annoying at times. 4/5 overall, 4/5 for user experience, 2.5/5 for gameplay.

  • Cringy way to beg for my dollars

    I enjoyed playing this game until a few things happened that turned me off the game. * pack odds are laughable. The odds of getting the highest card in the packs is 1%🤔🤦🏾‍♂️ why on earth would I buy a pack of cards knowing I have a 1% chance of getting the cards? Odds should be 10% at the very least… The stats don’t change no matter what player I have. You could have an ruby Lebron and it will play the exact same and make and miss the exact same shots as an dark matter Lebron. The fact you have to put money into the game just makes me want to turn it off Gameplay is ok until you defender runs all the way into the key to protect the paint. Which is nothing wrong except they do this with every guard position in transition so it leaves you defensive assignment wide open everytime. This is what made me quit the game as of yesterday. Also why do we leave shooters like Steph curry open 🧐 why are there lower power cards Abel to cheese on a mobile game with a controller🧐 why is this game able to have a controller when we already have 2k on console🧐 why does every 2k game get exploited🧐 what I mean is why does ppl left right cheese YET; the defense can’t keep up 🧐 2k you’ve lost a valuable customer🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️ So with all that said 2k took my money but they will not receive anymore. Idk if these companies want longevity from their customers or just an impulsive buy🤷🏿‍♂️🤔

  • Why I believe you really need to get this game!

    Ok so basically here’s my life story, just kidding!! The reason I think you should get this game is because if you do not fell like grinding this game just quit after playing for a little while because when you come back they shower you with gifts and in my opinion it’s quite amazing. They will give you ruby players and a whole lot of coins to spend. Also, once it gives you that reward, each game you play you get to pick a random tiles from a board which can give you amazing rewards like opal players which are crazy. I played this game for about like 1 month and then I quit for a year without deleting it and I went from like a 300 power which is the worst to a 15,000+ power which is actually super high, and crazy. I also have a black diamond, at least I think it’s that it might be like opal or something like that but it is like a 3,000 and something curry and he makes like every three it becomes dumb. Like he will drop 15 points in like 2 minutes which is actually really really good going against really high powered teams. That’s my take on this incredible game, thank you, and have a ammmmmmmmmmazing day (or night). *get this game I swear it is worth it*

    Truly sincere,

  • This game is 🔥

    This game is so goooooooood. Over 3 months ago I made a review on how bad it was, but that is just because I lost the finals. :/ But I love this game now. I wanted to rewrite the review a month ago but I was to lazy. This new update though is AMAZINGGGGGGGG!! There is finally a new update and there are four quarters in one game which I’m so happy about because it makes the game more realistic. One thing that I don’t like is the reward drills. I really don’t like the box jump because the last one is so hard so can you guys please make the box jump to 6 instead of 7. And also when I finish all the drills I sometimes get amethyst when before the update I was getting onyx and diamond and I am around pink diamond and diamond. Also can you make like a ankle breaker effect, and one more thing can you also add a green effect to cuz I’ve been dieing for that for so long. But yeah this is a really fun game and I recommend it if you love basketball or don’t have a PS4, PS5 or Xbox or PC or anything. It’s still fun if you do but when I’m away and I left my PS5 it’s amazing game if your craving basketball. Anyways this game is super fun and keep going guys this is just getting better and better.

  • Player Usage

    I genuinely enjoy the game and honestly I rarely spend money on it, but I do spend from time to time. However, I noticed that when you complete the daily login each month, for example, I can earn a Galaxy Opal player for logging in for 28 days, I tend to get players that play the same position. This doesn’t really enhance my team other than adding them to one of my secondary teams. I would push to give us more leeway to use the players how we see fit rather than by position. In the current NBA, positions are basically nonexistent at this point. Anthony Davis is listed as a PF and I can only use him in that spot, but he does play the C position as well. LeBron James is listed as a SF, but he is used more often than not as a PG. Having the option to put a pink diamond LeBron at PG over a lower Diamond Damian Lillard and having the ability to also use my Pink Diamond Kevin Durant at the same time would make it a lot more fun.

    When getting into the Domination events specifically, the same players tend to win and cash in on the awards because they spend a ton of money on the game, but it makes it not worthwhile for those who don’t spend their entire paycheck to win. Having the ability to mix and match rather than being tied to strict positions would make for better competition and better gameplay.

  • Awesome, fun, worth it!

    I want to start by saying this game is amazingly fun and addictive. But my one complaint is packs. I barely ever can afford good packs because coins are very scarce and hard to get a lot at a time. But every time I buy a 100 coin pack, i get a silver colored player which is irritating because I try to save up all those coins for an expected ruby or amethyst. Also, the chat. I go on to see others teams but I really just see kids on their swearing so please consider changing things. But really this game is awesome and has great graphics. Definitely worth it! I play everyday! Well, that was already long enough so thanks for reading this. Stay cool y’all✌🏻 UPDATE: As a female athlete I think you should consider creating a WNBA 2k to include girls. Or at least make us able to make our crew player a female if we want. I’m not some women’s rights activist, I’m just a girl who deserves to be able to play as a girl on your game. If that’s so wrong create a game where I can please, thanks for your time!!

  • Garbage

    Head to head is the worst of all my critiques on this dumpster fire. Players abuse bad connection and run left and right and get wide open shots that always go in. Since the developers won’t fix this I have found quoting the game to be the only way to combat it as you can’t do anything to manually defend it. If you see your defender standing 10 feet to the left of the point guard when he comes up the court then quit. If opposing player runs back and forth until wide open quit. If you quit before the half the game don’t count. If you quit after the half it will but use prop insurance and you only loose 5 fans. Worth it. Don’t let yourself get screwed and let somebody win due to a glitch that has been ongoing for as long as the game has existed. Basically if your opponent is getting wide open shots quit by closing the game and start over. I refuse to do this cheat as I have integrity and want it to end. But I won’t let others do it to me. I like to let them do it then quit with 5 seconds left in the first half so I waste their time. It’s funny that when you quit it says out of sink but it won’t stop it when your defenders are defending where the guy was 2 seconds ago. They won’t fix this.

  • Stupid game that wastes your time

    People, You guys deserve better than torturing yourself with this garbage. I don’t understand how this game has a good rating. If you play this game for decent amount of time, you will NEVER want to leave positive review about this trash. 1) This game is rigged, where you will receive a same player from daily login bonus. I have received diamond Kevin Love in June and July. Then I received pink diamond Penny Hardaway in August and September. It is 0.05% chance that I will receive same player two month in a row, out of 36 players. Obviously rigged. 2) Developers are unwilling and incapable of fixing the existing bugs, such as out of bound bug, press the pick button and it passes to opposite side, five points play with foul, super late responses. Developers just don’t have any clues 3) power of opponents don’t matter at all. But if you have a low power, it will mean everything to you. You will witness Shaq making mid range shot and three throw. 4) You will never be able to have certain players unless you spend real $ to buy players pack, which they don’t tell you at all. 5) AI is almost useless, no wonder who made this. Obviously someone who doesn’t understand the basketball. Please do yourself a favor and play other decent and legit game, than playing this garbage. I would rather play NBA Jam from 1993

  • Come on guys

    This is a really fun game and it has great potential. It just has some aspects that make me want to just quit and delete the app. Y’all need to make the contests more realistic. if my player is wide open on the 3 point line and someone at the free throw line just stands there it shouldn’t prevent me from getting a green. Also when the other team gets random fast breaks out of nowhere despite your team scoring and giannis appearing under your basket for an open dunk. Another thing is the passing. The other team never messed up full court passes even if they’re silvers against diamonds. It seems if there’s more than half of the court in between the player that has the ball and the player giving the pass it never gets there. Terribly unrealistic considering only deandre jordan ever really throws the ball that far off. This mix of things make some events really aggravating and unbearable to grind. Please fix some of these things instead of “minor bug changes” to make the game more playable. I do understand that if they have a higher power than thought player their contest should make yours less likely to go in but it shouldn’t make people like Ja Morant Damien lillard or larry bird air ball when you get a yellow and there’s only like a small power difference in the players like 1,000 or 1,500.
