### 4/5 — Fun but glitchy match rating

*2026-08-09, version 1.7.0*

Love the gameplay and the social aspect but no matter what I do + conflicting reviews from players and coach, the match rating is always a 1.0 despite getting 20+ points

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2026-08-02, version 1.6.5*

Fun and it’s a really good game but the shooting makes no sense the fact you can make a 40% shot and not  58% shot is confusing still a good game though

### 5/5 — It’s fun

*2026-07-31, version 1.6.5*

It was a fun game

### 5/5 — Game is great

*2026-07-29, version 1.6.5*

Game is great! Do wish you could simulate games sometimes and I also don’t under stand the player rating after games I can drop a 37-13-6 stat line And get a 3 out of 10 stars am I missing something or is it bugged?

### 5/5 — Im sorry

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.5*

Im completely sorry for being mad

### 4/5 — Ability to move

*2026-06-20, version 1.6.5*

I played the game for a while but I can’t get over the fact that I have to dash and get exhausted. It makes playing slasher builds impossible because you run out of energy so fast. I wish I can move like how my teammates do and then use dash( and energy) as more of basketball move than a burden. I know the game dev can do it ( in the beginning you can move and talk to your new teammates) but it need to be implement into the gameplay. It I don’t real basketball players get exhausted from running around a screen. Please just add a mode to be able to move without using energy in the game. I would pay extra for that to be possible.

### 5/5 — Please add

*2026-06-13, version 1.6.5*

Can you add pump faking but it cost one stamina and also add a social media tab where you u can see what fans are saying about players ands teams etc and let your player react to certain things to affect you popularity

### 4/5 — Pretty fun game

*2026-06-12, version 1.6.5*

Pretty good game to pass time.
Things I think you should add

1. Different drills during practice besides the 3 point drill

2. Less fouls when trying to block shots

3. Different questions from reporters

4. Different popularity side quests besides others' parties & fan signings 
Ex: option to throw your own party, celebrity basketball games, social media

### 4/5 — Baller life

*2026-06-08, version 1.6.5*

I just wish you could have more leniency on the building your player process

### 3/5 — Great game

*2026-06-05, version 1.6.5*

Great game but if you could add one high school season before you play college, that would be fun to earn college offers. 
plz and I would really like to see a baseball version of this keep up the good work!
