### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-06-01*

Great Game, so far I’ve been addicted and can’t stop playing. It takes a little while to get a team built and to start winning games, but once you get a hang of things, it’s awesome.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-01-22, version 4.0.8*

Super fun game especially for basketball lovers and historians. Slow to move along without in all purchases but still a lot of fun!

### 1/5 — Terrible technical support

*2026-01-16, version 4.0.8*

If you are looking for a lot of frustration and gaming issues, this is the game for you. Updates create bugs and technical support has no idea how to fix them. Good luck if you attempt to play this game.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-09-30*

Love this game!! Check out hockey, baseball and football too!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-16, version 3.11.2*

Good game great past time

### 5/5 — ADJUSTING ROTATIONS

*2025-05-07*

Feel like i know the answer to this, but is it possible to give your starters, starter level minutes? I like simulations that can come up with realistic stats rather than one guy scoring 40 and no one else in double digits. Ideally i can not play my 3rd stringers. Seems like the function of the game has to include those so maybe ill just have to accept that, otherwise, great game so far.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out to us. The player you choose as your "star" of the game plays something along the lines of starter minutes. The rest of your players have their minutes split up based on their position, and cannot be adjusted. Contact support through the app if you have more questions.

### 5/5 — A few tiny complaints

*2025-05-02, version 3.11.0*

#1 - Let us toggle on the classic music
#2 - Make LeBron James’s ultimate 832 OVR
Otherwise perfect.

### 3/5 — Fun game, but seasons too long

*2025-02-09*

The game is fun, but 16 hours between seasons is too much

### 5/5 — Love it but

*2025-02-06*

Please fix the showdown mode and change the season time to 10 hours

**Developer response:** Glad you like the game. Feel free to contact support through the app with more details about the feedback you have. Thanks.

### 1/5 — A game with potential

*2025-01-20*

I had to give this game at least a 4 star because out of all the sim basketball games I’ve played I’ve liked this one the most. Its got more details to enjoy in comparison to the other basketball sim games out there. Simply put, this game does the little things right which I can appreciate and the game isn’t to money hungry like other games I’ve played like this one on this platform. But I only gave it a 4 outta 5 still because I believe this game still has alot of potential it can capitalize on. The career mode can be a tad bit better all around but it’s just fine when comparing it to the other game mode this game presents, which is its general manager game mode. It seemed really Awesome at first considering its a online version of a general manager basketball sim, an idea I thought was brilliant until I tried it out and realized the areas In which it was lacking in. It’s not at all very thorough in explaining how to play the game which brought up a multitude of issues for me, like how do I put a player I have and enter them into an auction or how do I look further at a player’s abilities. But the most glaring thing the general manager game mode lacked in was how there was nothing available to do when the season isn’t available to play. The season is the main game in the GM mode and it’s how u play with your team But the season has a wait time that can take hours before a new season is ready to begin. I was very disappointed that I couldn’t just hop in a game with my team and had to wait an hour to play. But I think this games GM mode is just missing some simple fixes that can be huge for the overall impact of the game and as far as the career mode I think the fixes it needs are even smaller and minimal because the career mode is really the stand out game mode in comparison to its counterpart. Ultimately this game was worth my time to play and I had a lot of fun and only time will tell if the game fulfills its potential and becomes a real 5 out of 5 game in the future.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you enjoy the game. But you gave us 1-star, not four. Feel free to bump up the rating when you get a chance. Thanks!
