I have three tournament badges and very good players. But THATS not the point. The reason I gave this 4 stars is because this game has a lotttttt of bugs and glitches. Other people who play this have told me they have this bug also. At 33% of the game first loading it says could not connect and says try again. But it keeps this cycle going almost every time making it a struggle to play. Please fix because this is the most annoying thing ever. Edit: i don’t know if the developers read this but it is fixed now. :) thanks a lot guys! I have one last request that I would appreciate though, can you guys come out with more updates? Like new players, maybe a clothes shop for your players? Thanks. P.S I have 4 tournament badges now :) one a champion. Go ahead and friend me if u see this: name is MajestyLebron. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-03, version 1.133* Gooooooooooooooddddddddddddd ### 5/5 — I love the game very much *2026-08-03, version 1.133* Super fun my kids are getting on the floor ### 2/5 — Sam *2026-08-02, version 1.133* Mathis game was really fun at first. But the more I played the more frustrated I got. There’s to many ads. The actual gameplay sucks. The fact that I was able to play the whole season in 1 hour is wild. Usually games reward long time players this one is so glitchy that you’ll literally want to throw your game.

This is falsely advertising claiming I will get no ads when I still do if I purchase an item that specifically removes ads. Enjoy the lawsuit. ### 1/5 — DEIXA O JOGO FÁCIL PELA AMOR DE DEUS *2026-07-24* DO UMA ESTRELA ESSE JOGO É MUITO DIFÍCIL CARA PELA AMOR DE DEUS ARRUMA ESSE JOGO E DEIXA ELE FÁCIL ### 1/5 — The new world *2026-06-20, version 1.132* The fashion ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-06-20, version 1.132* I was playing this little boy he beat me ### 1/5 — Fun game but rigged *2026-06-15, version 1.132* Game is fun but many purchase based rewards are rigged so that you have little or no chance of winning big prizes. I would avoid the scams and not spend on any purchases. ### 1/5 — Basketball arena *2026-06-06, version 1.132* Fun game and easy to learn One of the best mobile game I’ve ever played and seen ### 1/5 — READ THIS!! *2026-06-05, version 1.132* Bruh, fixed your graphics or your time for shot clock, because its already 0,00 and u can still shot, what game is this? And bruh, there’s a lot of ads, like bruh wth, your not the main game, u js wanna earn money, like why do we need to pay to js remove ads? ### 1/5 — UGGGHHHH HATE THIS GAME *2026-05-26, version 1.132* First off you can’t win unless you pay crazy money. They always do crazy matchups I only had wild tiger Jax and 2 other mid players. I GOT MATCHED UP AGAINST THE DAGGER BEARD THE MONKEY AND WILD TIGER!!!! It was tied at 31 with 5 seconds left so I went inside and got a dunk with 0.0 in the clock. ZERO POINT ZERO= no time left right? Well I guess not he hit a three but then I got the ball and there was not time left. THERE WAS NO TUME LEFT AFTER THE DUNK. Stupid game do not recommend. Oh and they scam people by luring them in by letting them win the first 10 or so games but then they match you up with this LeBron Jordan Kobe and Steph team and you get crushed and they lure you in just to bring you up and eat you up. This guy had a goat lineup and then disconnected I was so happy but it gave him the win but I was still up. Terrible game do not recommend hate it 👎🏾 stupid developers stupid teams stupid players stupid rules stupid connections stupid matchups and stupid game. UGGGHHHHHH ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-05-25, version 1.132* It regulated me even though I was inside the top 14 and since I didn’t play the game for a while, I went from the highest league to the rookie league. This is why this game sucks. ### 1/5 — Russia *2026-05-23, version 1.132* Игра не грузит? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-29, version 1.134* Best Game Ever ### 5/5 — it’s really fun.
