### 5/5 — Not realistic

*2024-03-09*

The bounces are way to high and not enough teams instead of just ACC make it all big colleges

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-05*

Very good game with a tournament. Not to hard to hit shots and not to easy. Again great game. (Plus it uses my favorite team UNC)

### 3/5 — It ok

*2023-04-11*

It seemed easy at first and you could make shots but know I can’t make a single one and you can’t get another ball until it falls to the ground

### 4/5 — Its good but add some more college teams

*2023-04-09*

I think we should add all the college conferences in the basketball game and the football game too

### 4/5 — I love this game

*2023-03-22*

It’s definitely not the Best but I would play it I’m definitely gonna keep it on my phone I definitely recommend you playing it it is fun I’ll give it a 4/5

### 5/5 — best thing i have ever played!!

*2023-02-21, version 8.0.0*

I LOVE THIS GAME. all i do is play acc 3 pt challenge!!! I love how you can donate to your favorite school, and i know it really works.

### 1/5 — FIX THIS GAME

*2023-02-19, version 8.0.0*

I was playing my first game in tournament mode and first round the score to beat was freakin 34. WHY. So I quit and hoped they reduced the score to beat like it is supposed to, BUT IT SENDS ME BACK TO THE MENU. FIX THIS, DEVELOPERS!!

### 5/5 — 69 POINTS WITH 29.1 SECONDS LEFT BEAT THAT!

*2022-09-05, version 7.0.2*

I love this game, but they should add a 6th achievement where you have to score a perfect game with at least 25 seconds left, also I think your seconds left should be implemented into your total perfect score (my highest score would be 98.1 under that format).

### 3/5 — This game needs work

*2022-07-31, version 7.0.2*

It used to be very easy to win every round now you can’t even win the whole tournament now it’s getting harder to make shots even when you aim for the goal and why is the half court round showing up in the earlier rounds but never in the later rounds when you need them the most
