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. ### 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! ### 3/5 — Add the old rebounding system back *2026-05-30, version 1.6.5* The game is good but now it’s impossible to get rebounds. My player went from averaging 10 a game and now I can barely get 1 because I have to get them all myself and the game isn’t designed well for this. ### 3/5 — i used to be able to lose games now i cant… *2026-05-18, version 1.6.5* made the game so much easier with the attacking and defensive adjustments i can just set it to max attack and win every game with over 80+ so boring now i missed when it first came out just give me a retro mode i literally bought the roster customization just for the fact i can make everyone 99 overall and its still to easy ### 4/5 — Great Game *2026-04-18, version 1.6.4* Coming across a bug where the game soft locks itself and I’m not able to do anything in a match as my character gets stuck ### 2/5 — Fix the game Please *2026-04-08, version 1.6.4* I have been playing this game for a while and I love the update and everything but every time I put the touch pad style it will always bug out please fix it ### 2/5 — Don’t stop crashing *2026-03-20* Loving the game but it won’t stop crashing during matches, can’t shoot or pass the ball anymore so I can’t go any further, annoying ### 4/5 — BUG *2026-03-17, version 1.6.4* Game is amazing but it’s one bug where when your playing the game when you get the ball it will not let you shoot and the clock Will go down basically freezes once it hit zero please fix this ### 2/5 — Update not for everyone *2026-03-15, version 1.6.4* They tried to add defense and different playing modes. What made this game so special was the simplicity now it’s going to far. ### 2/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-03-13, version 1.6.4* It keeps freezing in important moments like a game winning shot or clutch mid range shot please fix it and, also please make it to when the shot clock hits zero it just drops the ball from your hands because some times it does and the other times it doesn’t. Please take the time to consider this and evaluate the situation thank you. ### 3/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-02-25, version 1.6.4* It keeps freezing in important moments like a game winning shot or clutch mid range shot please take the time to consider this and evaluate the situation thank you. ### 3/5 — Game Freezes *2026-02-22, version 1.6.4* Game is fun but freezes with no recourse, often at the end of the 4th qt ### 2/5 — Stamina???? *2026-02-19, version 1.6.4* Maybe I’m missing something…. Or it’s just an early game problem, but when you run out of stamina you literally cannot move for the rest of the game? And stamina goes *fast* and you only get ONE STAMINA POINT back after a whole quarter… and 1 stamina isn’t enough to cover almost any ground… like I said, maybe im missing something but this feels horrible to me… call me needy but I’d like to, idk, move maybe? Is that crazy? Also what kind of person is so gassed out by halftime that they are literally immobilized? Other characters on the court are moving around the entire game… why do I have to play as an Olympic chain smoker? ### 4/5 — Game stops working on the middle of game *2026-02-06, version 1.6.4* This game is great and I love playing it with all the new updates, but the game will sometimes just stop and stay stuck after a quarter is done when I try to shoot a buzzer beater, please fix this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This bug has been going on for 3 months *2026-04-15, version 1.6.4* It keeps freezing in important moments like a game winning shot or clutch mid range shot please fix it and, also please make it to when the shot clock hits zero it just drops the ball from your hands because some times it does and the other times it doesn’t. Please take the time to consider this and evaluate the situation thank you. ### 1/5 — . *2026-02-22, version 1.6.4* It keeps on pausing and not letting me do anything Sept from move (not be able to shoot or pass) was very good when worked ### 1/5 — keeps on crashing even after bug fix updates *2026-01-30, version 1.6.3* i loved this game and think the update added a lot. unfortunately for around the past week i cant play the game without it crashing. For the first few days it would happen when i did a step back normally but now it just happens randomly i haven’t been able to complete a single game. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-01-25, version 1.6.0* The game was much better before this update, I had steals and blocks that had reset to 0 and I only get 5 points on ball handling, fix this it was better before archetype. I also can’t seem to get passes on offense and waste my energy to get open for no reason. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2025-12-05, version 1.5.3* The game has potential but it’s only fun half of the time. I’ve played too many entire games where my avatar got the ball 3-4 times total. In no way would the best player on a team only touch the ball once a quarter. Go play Hoop Land for a more complete experience. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-13, version 1.4.3* This game is horrible nothing goes in unless green and it takes forever to unlock green ### 1/5 — You don’t get the ball *2025-06-06, version 1.4.3* You don’t get the ball at all ### 1/5 — I’m don’t this game because I’m can’t make a shoot and I’m cry because I’m can’t make the shot *2025-05-13, version 1.4.1* I’m sorry ### 1/5 — Remove ads *2025-04-13, version 1.4.1* I don’t know, why my remove ads aren’t working I feel like I’m wasting my money. ### 1/5 — Good game but needs work *2025-03-17, version 1.4.0* The game is very addictive but some things don’t make sense you can’t win mvp even when you’re the best player in the league you have to resign a contract every season and one time I averaged 33 points and 5 won the finals and finals mvp and when it was time to sign my contract the gm said I underperformed which makes no sense ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Update *2026-05-24, version 1.6.5* If there were any updates I’d like to be added, I’d say have an option to request a trade to a specific team and to skip regular season games and go straight to playoffs. consider these ideas, I’m a big fan of career mode games. Ps consider making other sports aswell (football, fighting) ### 5/5 — 1 Thing *2026-04-22, version 1.6.5* Everything is perfect but can you guys add a pop out to let us know that we’re playing defense? I’m sometimes lost when we switch from offense to defense ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-04-05, version 1.6.4* Coming across a bug where the game soft locks itself and I’m not able to do anything in a match ### 5/5 — Don’t play this game *2026-02-17, version 1.6.4* First, you don’t get to pick the team you’re on. It’s just randomized. The bill customization is not that customizable the game graphics are I mean not that well the game itself and the storyline is pretty basic. There’s nothing there’s thousands of better games to play. Just not this one. ### 5/5 — Possible bug with team standings ? *2026-01-30, version 1.6.3* Hey so I have been playing the game and me and my team are undefeated and the only team that is still undefeated but we are still rank 15 and won’t go up or down need help ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2026-01-26, version 1.6.1* Only thing to ask is to change it back to where your teammates move when the play starts (before you tap the screen), so that it can be more fluid to if you want to dash backwards, pass or shoot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
