### 1/5 — Fix win rankings

*2021-09-04*

App is good, but i gave it 1 star because the rankings on most wins is rediculous, there is no way a player can win more than a quadrillion wins even though you play this game straight for 2 years with no brreaks what so ever
Please fix

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2019-03-24*

This game is so bad and it is unfair and if I shoot the ball to the right it goes to the left so bad! Terrible and waste of time not fair and not right

### 1/5 — I hated it

*2015-05-24*

Free version is way better. Graphics are just terrible and it is confusing.

### 1/5 — Basket

*2014-10-07*

Aucun intérêt

### 1/5 — DONT GET IT

*2014-06-17*

The seasons are terrible it makes you go against all pro balls when you have a rookie or trash ball. Once your in the championships it makes you go against fully upgraded master balls and champ balls. Then once you lose in championships you start all over just to get back up and lose again with a crappy ball. I will rate 5 once you make the single player balls based on the ball you have. Take this suggestion to thought, after you do this it will be a great game

### 1/5 — 😕

*2014-04-30, version 1.1*

The other ball keeps hitting my ball just as it is going into the net

### 1/5 — F**ked up

*2014-04-28, version 1.1*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD SO RIGED AND UNREALISTIC AND IF YOU SWIPE STRAIGHT IT GOES 50k OF WHOOP WHOOP

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-04-26, version 1.1*

Frustrating and dumb. Creators have to do a better job.

### 2/5 — Alright

*2014-04-30, version 1.1*

I hoped that u had a player and would actually play basketball but you just shoot the ball through the hoop. 

Otherwise it is still a good game

### 2/5 — Okay

*2014-04-29, version 1.1*

The whole upgrading a basketball thing is cool but doesn't make much difference when playing. Controls can be very inaccurate and frustrating when going for the shot. I suggest trying this out but if your looking for a game to last a good while find something else.

### 5/5 — Score

*2020-07-19*

This game stops on score 18 and I tried many times more than ten minutes and didn't go further in score. So please whoever designed or controls the game fix the problem because it is very fun game.

### 5/5 — App is better than the original

*2016-08-22*

You should buy this Basketball Showdown because the original one has so many ads it gets pretty annoying. When you buy this one you do not have any ads at all and it's great. It also has the green ball unlike in the other version. I totally recommend this app more than the other Basketball Showdown apps.

### 5/5 — Great Game but,

*2014-09-05*

The game is great and every thing, but for some reason the game reset all of my progress after my prize money every 24 hours appeared again. Please fix this problem.

### 5/5 — Nah haha

*2014-09-01*

Pro version players are weak. You want to practice your skills? Go to the first version and play online. Then come back to pro and you'll gon feel like a freakin warrior coming back from a thousand battles. LOL

### 5/5 — Fun

*2014-08-26, version 1.1*

It's fun for a while. It's chill
