That’s all. ### 4/5 — Great but… *2026-05-28, version 1.32* Maybe try adding normal in game accessories that you could buy with coins like headbands , compression pants , arm sleeves etc: ### 3/5 — Mid *2026-04-26, version 1.32* I don’t know why this game is 18+ bro. It’s not even bad unless you pay money or whatever for the love thingy:/ soooo I think you should change it to like 13+ or smth cuz like 18+ is no necessary lololol Apart from that it’s a really great game and I highly recommend it :D cyaaa! ### 3/5 — Update this bro *2025-10-19, version 1.304* Bro this is the best game you ever dropped but you need to update the dam game give it the new ui the one you got on ABK26 add more customization or add the 3d stuff to abk it doesn’t really matter cuz I would never pay abk over this update this game it’s the best game you’ve ever dropped to this day ### 4/5 — Good *2025-08-30, version 1.3* This game is great, but can you add local images like your other games? And make a bald or cornrows hairstyle please! ### 2/5 — This game is good *2025-07-23, version 1.26* I think if they let you be able a low pick when you get drafted that would make it way better. They should make a mow where you start from the bottom all the way to the top. Other than that this game is amazing. ### 3/5 — Game itself is fine but really almost forces you to pay *2025-07-14, version 1.26* The actual mechanics of the game and everything are great (though the lack of any kind of black hairstyles is a little strange in a basketball game of all things), but the biggest gripe is that the natural progression of the game if you don’t spend money is just atrocious. Your player will be horrible, straight up unserviceable and the rate in which you gain the points you need to improve without spending money is atrocious. There should be more avenues available for f2p players. Even with the All to 50 boost my player is not very good at all. ### 3/5 — wnba *2025-06-09, version 1.26* should be more options for women, the WNBA mod is broken as it adds random teams and takes away the original teams ### 4/5 — This game has so much potential *2025-05-02, version 1.26* It pretty good. They need more hairstyles when customizing the player. And maybe more animations during the in game shots. Pretty good game tho but had the potential to be so much better ### 4/5 — Make it better plz it’s a k game *2025-03-31, version 1.26* Make it better plz ### 4/5 — Shaky screen during defense *2025-03-19, version 1.25* Game is good but shaky screen not good ### 2/5 — fix the shot meter *2025-01-03, version 1.19* shot meter is useless if i miss green shots ### 2/5 — Limited Game *2024-12-20, version 1.19* This is slightly disappointing, from the gameplay to the algorithm to the appearance, everything is lacking depth in this game. First off, if you’re black? Your player isn’t! They haven’t even put a simple buzz cut in the game! All the hairstyles are for white people. They don’t even have a black hair color which is absurd. The shooting mechanic is terrible. The meter moves way faster than it should and the line to make shots is practically nonexistent. On top of that, you can miss shots in the green line but you’ll NEVER make shots away from the green line. Lastly, and honestly it’s pretty important, the ball is WAY TOO BIG! Have the developers not played basketball and don’t know the proper proportion of basketball to rim? The ball in this game is way too big and it makes shooting even worse. I don’t want to mention dunking, just know it’s garbage too! If this took 8yrs to make, it needs another 8 to iron out some of these features because it’s nasty. You can’t move the player, sometimes you can’t even pass. It needs a TON of work ### 5/5 — Been playing for awhile *2024-12-19, version 1.19* Amazing ### 4/5 — Great game but one problem *2024-12-18, version 1.19* When I shoot a three I get nice timing but it always bounces out ### 3/5 — More playing time *2024-12-16, version 1.19* Not a lot of playing going on unless you just skip over and over again ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-11-24, version 1.17* I love how this is a basketball career game and not a boring my team game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — King *2026-06-01, version 1.32* This game is kinda good but at the beginning when you start you don’t even double digits like huh like I would think I’ll get like 10 points but I average 4 a game ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-03-07, version 1.32* The shooting Bar sucks. You have to hit it exactly in order to make, which happens about 1% of the time ### 1/5 — Don’t let the review score fool you *2025-01-23, version 1.2.0* Just another semi-freemium money grab game. Terrible details as well, like no one from the team played or tested the game themselves. ### 1/5 — Legacy *2024-09-30, version 1.16* Why is the legacy purchase only stuck to 1 playthrough making us spend multiple times for no reason? We paid once for it already is that not enough ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-08-20, version 1.13* If this took you 8 years to develop I’m embarrassed ### 1/5 — 1 star *2024-07-07, version 1.03* this game is terrible this is so poorly made it’s crazy. This game is very corny and the graphics are disappointing, as well the way you shoot the basketball in the game is extremely broken you could get the meter right on the perfect and 50% of the time the shot will miss. This game is not worth your time. ### 1/5 — C’est nul *2024-06-11* Ne perdez pas votre c’est littéralement un pay to win et en plus meme comme ça c’est pas fun, gameplay = une jauge nul aléatoire et qui ne change même pas avec des attributs … c’est tt ### 1/5 — This game… *2024-06-10, version 1.03* How does this game have that many 5 star reviews… as a sim is sub par at best and the animations are jank af. ### 1/5 — Left 3 pt shot is broken *2024-06-09, version 1.03* The ball always rolls off the hoop ### 1/5 — Get this trash game off my screen. *2024-06-05, version 1.03* … ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-31, version 1.35* Perfect game. I only request that you make the museum stadium thing more interesting. Also possibly make the Ai teams be able to make trades randomly whenever they want and make them smarter because some of them will decide to have only one position not in the squad at the start of a new season so they can somehow draft that needed position in the middle of the season. ### 5/5 — Astonishing basketball career fun *2026-03-22, version 1.32* Such a fun game I love this game so much and I like this because you can do a lot of things on here with skill talent, and what you learned from astonishing in NBA 2K six ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-03-12, version 1.32* More hairstyles and change jersey numbers ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-19, version 1.32* I can’t stop playing it is amazing ### 5/5 — You should add a mechanic where you can dunk on your defender *2026-01-28, version 1.32* Y ### 5/5 — I can’t start *2025-11-17, version 1.31* It’s a good game but way too hard to become a starter. I’m in my 4th season and still not a starter. I even requested a trade and then signed with another team and still have guys starting above me who shoot 3-19 every game when I’m shooting 6-10. Other than that the game is really fun. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-21, version 1.3* This game is so good and fun ### 5/5 — Good *2025-06-20, version 1.26* This game is great, but can you add local images like your other games? ### 5/5 — Shooting and ball physics *2025-04-19* The game is very good, im playing it a lot but there’s one thing that is very frustrating, when you’re in the middle of the 3 point line zone and you shoot the ball, you can hit the green perfectly, but the ball swings in and out and you miss, please fix that, idk if its a bug or what but is terrible to play while that happens. Also there is a bug when you go to dunk that you hit the green, the ball falls through and it counts as a miss. ### 5/5 — I love the idea of the game *2025-03-09, version 1.24* This game is good very creative and innovative Just dig a little more and in a few years this game would be amazing especially if goes to console --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
