Glitches might be the best part?

Play on medium and you get a decent gameplay experience reminiscent of the original computer game. Very easy to win by 100 points+ but gameplay feels right. Play on hard and all bets are off. What do you mean my team of elite shooters is hitting 10% from the free throw line??? Why is every other possession a turnover?? But these quirks also hold true for the CPU team so it’s kind of balanced and imo ultimately the best way to play. For even more fun: turn “out of bounds on” and keep “violations” off and you can run around with the ball and shoot from your own bench, behind the basket etc (and get stuck in some crazy glitches). PS i know Pablo is the face franchise but true heads know Basketball’s true OP is Dimitri (and in football it’s Pete)!

Bug in Playoffs Prevents Finishing Season

In the last game of the championship, the user switches teams with the computer. If you save at any point following this, your data is corrupted and you can’t open the coach again.

Backyard basketball good

Pablo Sanchez is always the goat he’s better than Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry and then LeBron James and then Bronny James Junior

Kenny is goat

Kenny hits a full court shot and makes it 10/10

Incompatible with iPhone

I was looking forward to playing this on my phone, but unfortunately, it doesn’t translate at all. Shooting is pretty much impossible and the gameplay just doesn’t hold up. It’s free for a reason.
