It reminds me of NBA Jam but it doesn’t have controller support so I choose not to play it ### 3/5 — Not the best💔 *2023-12-23, version 2.105* I thought it was the one I was looking for but it is a total disgrace! If you really want it then get it but if your looking at complete random Games and this one pops up then don’t play it ### 5/5 — Nba Jam Rip-Off *2023-11-19* I love this game I played it once but it surprised me when it used the stuff that nba jam used when you make 3 shots you get the lightning ball instead of fire ball but still amazing game ### 4/5 — It’s a good game *2023-09-26, version 2.99* It’s a great game so props to the creators but the should make it more fun by making different game modes like shooting practices and not just matches but overall very enthusiastic dunking. ### 2/5 — PBA *2023-09-12, version 2.99* I’m using an iPhone 7. Please bring back Manny Pacquiao with the Kia Picante team. It used to be a better game. Also, in the player roster of Terrafirma DYIP team, there’s a player by the name of Javi Gomez De Liaño with his head cut off and he doesn’t appear that way on my Android phone, so please fix that. ### 5/5 — Love this *2023-09-11* This app is so fun and very interesting to play i live the game its cool smooth no bugs and just right keep making gMes like this and you will be successful ### 5/5 — Future title *2023-07-03, version 2.99* It it like NBA Jam but it’s different, what if it was called PBA Jam ### 4/5 — Amazing, but… *2023-06-15* I think this is a really good game, in fact it’s the one I was looking for. It’s that after a game I only receive 10 coins and I think it should be 100 coins. Overall it’s a really great game. ### 5/5 — GREAT FUN!! Check it out! *2023-05-29* Finally, the game I’ve been looking for! Creating a character with your own game face and dunk face… the funniest, most entertaining simplest thing to add to a great game. Good controls, fast pace, amazing dunks, easy to use controls… zero complaints. Keep it coming. With a promise of multiplayer on the horizon! Good job ### 4/5 — Its good except one thing *2023-05-28* Can you please fix it so i can play my carrer it wont let me click it ### 2/5 — its only right to have controller support *2023-05-22, version 2.99* pleasr get controller support ### 3/5 — Basketball *2023-03-23, version 2.83* You need to make the more realistic ### 5/5 — The best game I know *2023-03-09, version 2.83* This game is so fun and addictive I I just downloaded it and I can’t stop ### 5/5 — Alaska aces *2023-02-26, version 2.83* Please bring back Alaska aces they are a good team. I use their team each time I play with my cousin. PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Add nba players *2023-01-21, version 2.83* Can you make add nba stars? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hardcore level *2025-03-01, version 2.105* They basically just use hardcore just to not let us score at all. Even at open areas. Hardcore one is rigged for sure but the rest r okay but not the best ### 1/5 — Bad game *2024-12-31, version 2.105* I don’t like the ads interrupting the game play so I’m sorry I gave no stars if it had no ads I would give 5 stars but I can’t deal with ads ### 1/5 — Crashing. *2023-06-26, version 2.99* My phone is up to date. Some ads won’t let me close them out so I have to close the app and don’t get to finish my game. Very annoying. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Game is racist *2021-12-18, version 2.81* Dunks are good but Taglish not even a language and it’s inappropriate ### 1/5 — Advertising after every quarter *2021-08-17, version 2.81* Lol ### 1/5 — A *2019-11-27, version 2.72* This game is so in realistic like if I shoot a 3 they shouldn’t be able to block me from the free throw line just stupid I’m giving this game a 1 star rating ### 1/5 — Don’t use Facebook *2019-07-29, version 2.72* Why do I need a Facebook login to submit my scores? I don’t use social media. Also tried to pay to remove ads but it wouldn’t let me. Garbage !! ### 1/5 — Deleted the app *2016-02-24, version 1.70* Contains Manny Pacquaio and therefore I cannot support this app anymore. Get rid of him from the game and I'm back in ### 1/5 — May imposible *2015-12-23, version 1.54* Legend ung imposible beiset sobrang hirap ng veteran nanalo ako sa rookie pero imposible sa veteran ### 2/5 — ADS!!!!! *2023-10-23, version 2.105* I get you need ads, but they keep popping up during game play! Very annoying when the opponent gets to keep playing and steel the ball. You can actually hear the game continue on while you sit there and wait for the ad to time out so you can skip! At least write in the code to pause the game when the screen is left. It’s not that hard! Need me to do it for you???? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Basketball Slam 2023 *2025-07-12, version 2.105* This is the best game ever ### 5/5 — This game fun *2025-03-28, version 2.105* Yeaa who over made this is a wonderful person irl ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2025-03-22* They can work on the graphics but the movements and the dunking are crazy good and you can even make your own characters ### 5/5 — childhood favorite could be the number 1 basketball mobile game *2024-11-26* i loved this game growing up and still do but i think that its time for this game to pull a 360 and finish the multiplayer mode it would literally make the game skyrocket in terms of enjoyment and flexibility please make servers for this i promise its an extremely important opportunity to give this game hope for a major comeback ### 5/5 — Dis da shi *2024-11-09, version 2.105* Ion usually write reviews but for this game I will man cuz I had so much fun on this game as a kid it got me thru boring classes n allat u kno I use to play nba jam but they took it off the App Store so this game fire nice break from NBA too shoutout to the Philippines basketball players yafeeeeeeee ### 5/5 — Controller support *2024-07-05* I love this game so much I would love to play it with my backbone controller please thank you ### 5/5 — This game was my childhood *2024-06-28, version 2.105* Loved this game when I was younger.
