But, I just got the new prodigy update and the events button makes the app crash **Developer response:** Hey there! Please update the game, the crash was fixed! ### 5/5 — Great game but I wish there was a fantasy draft *2021-05-31* The game is very fun but would be awesome if there was a mode where you could do a draft with all of the nba players. Keep up the great work and keep improving the game ### 5/5 — The game is fun but it need to get better *2021-05-20* All center can shoot because every-time I daft a center he can’t shoot and it happen to all center ### 5/5 — More in depth gameplay *2021-05-04* maybe add in the ability to see a overall along with change players position, a creative mode to adjust trade ability, salary cap management, draft pick management through multiple seasons, playoff bracket, month by month calendar, end of season progression, staff, add-on scouting, quarter in minutes, more rotation and minutes scheming for coaching ### 5/5 — Everything you hope for *2021-04-05* If you’re not playing right now you’re doing something wrong ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-03-03, version 1.181* But pleaseeeee fix the bug that doesn’t let me train players!!! ### 5/5 — Make a hockey game *2021-03-03, version 1.181* Make a hockey game ### 5/5 — My review *2021-01-26, version 1.11* It’s a fun and unique basketball sim ### 5/5 — Great simulation game *2021-01-26, version 1.11* One of the best simulation sport games on apple it’s fun and has a great GM feel love for them to make one for hockey though ### 5/5 — Fun but confusing *2021-01-18* ABK21 is really fun but four questions why does my rival have 3 legends but I don’t have any when I have logged in 12 days in a row also HOW DOES THE PLAYOFFS WORK I mean I was once the number 1 seed and I played against the number 4 seed in the 2nd round and then the year after that I was the number 3 seed and I played against the number 1 seed in the first round but then also how do you play multiplayer mode it was confusing with ABK20 and now confusing with ABK21 finally I love when I get emails from the inbox saying “Congrats you got a new player” and “Your offer was correct but I’m gonna go with Orlando but unless you can come with a better offer” BUT they always say the same thing. Other than that this game is “A legendary player” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A waste of time with a myriad of cash grabby incentives *2021-04-04* The game makes very little sense, and postseason success seems skewed at best and completely random at worst. I had an all star team with depth, DPOY and 2 legendary players and lost 3 years in a row but qualified as an eighth seed and won the championship. It makes very very little sense to me. Additionally, some facets of the game are broken. Potential is never enumerated on, and it's unclear whether a high number or low number is indicative of a higher potential. Training does very little to improve a player, and thus players have a very hard time improving. Player progression is broken, as young players don't improve quickly enough to ever be true superstars, while a suppressed regression rate means that guys like Lillard are amongst the leagues best at their positionsn until they retire, while guys like Zion can't even become perennial All Stars. Very frustrating. Very confusing. Not worth the time. ### 1/5 — It’s a solid game *2021-01-22, version 1.11* It’s a solid game. If you like myleauge or mynba you’ll love this. But it’s more about stats and less about having the best starting lineup. Just one problem, for example is I want to trade for draymond green idk if in trading for him or Danny green because it only shows the last name. Other than that it’s a solid 5/5 ### 2/5 — Meh *2021-01-20, version 1.11* The idea is cool. The game is just incredibly unbalanced and way to easy to win. It also isn’t super accurate with salary caps and player wages. ### 3/5 — Unrealistic Simulation *2021-08-01* The game has a lot of options and I don’t even mind playing a game that has paid for options but looking for something more realistic. I wanted to be the Sam Hinkie of this game. I sent my best players to the minor league and placed my worst players as starters and played them the most minutes. Went nearly undefeated in a season. That wasn’t my goal. I actually wanted to do bad and get a good draft pick. Made me realize the game probably focuses on making it easy to start (unrealistically) just to get people interested then scales the difficulty up the more you play to where, even if you do well, you probably will have to pay to win. Quick delete. Looking for something skill based/realistic. Don’t mind spending a few dollars if it is that way to support it. But, not going to play a game that’s unrealistic. ### 3/5 — screen *2021-02-14, version 1.17* I have an iphone11 and can’t see some of the top parts, please make a way for us to be able to see it ### 4/5 — Solid Game But needs game centre *2022-03-10, version 1.6* this is an amazing unique game that you can enjoy for hours on end but would appreciate a cloud save or game centre feature ### 4/5 — Good content *2021-08-08, version 1.56* I’ve been playing this game for a couple months now. Go check my YouTube: Dan Holst where I post these videos. A shame they cannot use NBA names and titles but totally understandable. Multiplayer has always confused me but I think I am getting to understand it. ### 4/5 — This game is very good until.... *2021-04-09* This game is amazing but there is this game breaking bug. after i unlocked the rivalry and lost in the finals, when i went to press next season the game broke and didn’t let me continue. i tried deleting and reinstalling but my progress was lost. plz fix this cuz i love this game. **Developer response:** Hey John! Please send me a message at support@astonishing-sports.app so we can discuss your issue ;) Thanks! ### 4/5 — Good but one small problem *2021-01-17* This game is great in almost every aspect but one thing I would like is to get notifications if your player signs with you or doesn’t, it’s confusing offering my rookies contracts and losing them without a clue about where they went, other than that, good game. ### 4/5 — Fun Game, but Playoffs Could Be Better *2021-01-14* Fun game, easy app to use, but the playoff format needs to be improved. The seeding makes no sense - I was #2 seed in my conference, and in the second round played the #1 seed in the other conference - instead of playing in the Finals, I got knocked out in the second round! Other than that, love the game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ABK *2024-01-13, version 1.6* Good game ### 5/5 — New game ideas *2021-11-11* The game is really easy to play and fun trying to make your team but I wish you would make more like lacrosse, nascar, formula 1. For the racing ones you should keep the same formate, but for the draft you should to draft drivers and pit crew, and you should be able to make parts ### 5/5 — A very enjoyable game. *2021-09-27, version 1.6* I have been playing this game since the abk20 days and I gotta say I just can’t bear to leave the ankle community, it’s not only the game it’s also the players that have unique personalities with some teams being unique across all of abk. Thank you Aerilys for making us such an amazing game! ### 5/5 — Avis *2021-09-16, version 1.6* Très bon jeu ### 5/5 — The best Game Ever *2021-08-28, version 1.57-bis* It is so much fun it’s like you’re a real gm can’t find no other game like this i’m so blessed #Trust the process ### 5/5 — Creative mode *2021-08-08* I think that ABK21 is the best game out of the Astonishing Sports franchise so far. I think it’s the easiest for people to get the hang of early and it is also the most entertaining out the other games. The only thing missing from all Astonishing Sports titles is a creative mode. I want to be able to change players overalls and see how they play out. I can give myself a 99 overall player and give my rival a 99 overall player and see who plays out to be better over their career. I feel like a creative mode could really introduce a whole new element for your audience to experience, and it would make the game significantly better. ### 5/5 — “Astonishing” game! *2021-07-14* Awesome app I love everything about it. But one thing is that I don’t like how you simulate games and how you have a limited amount of money. Otherwise great game! ### 5/5 — Game is great *2021-07-05, version 1.52* The game is great but one suggestion add a like trade block and untouchables screen ### 5/5 — Why is the timer for the prodigy so long *2021-06-30* I mean I’m not really complaining it’s just that I can finish 5 seasons working an hour and my prodigy will only finish one game ### 5/5 — Great Game BUT... *2021-06-08, version 1.51* Could the safe zone for the screen be smaller. Right now the top buttons get cut out by the screen. Otherwise a wonderful game. Will be sticking around. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
