Great Game

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.

Great!

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

Terrible technical support

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.

Awesome!

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

Great game

Good game great past time

ADJUSTING ROTATIONS

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.

Response from developer

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.

A few tiny complaints

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

Fun game, but seasons too long

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

Love it but

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

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

A game with potential

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.

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!

This game rules

To all the clowns saying “my team keeps losing” that sounds like a you issue and a Skill issue. Get good kid 😆

This game was so good

I hope they give this and the nba dunk card game a new current update cause both games are legit the best for what a nba nerdy fan wants.

Will be 5 star

5 star if it didn’t say error trying to get into my account

Great game

Play all the time love it!

Good

Really good and addictive. Need more events thought

Help

Anyone got any tips on easiest ways to get ultimates and best defensive plays for free to play?

Franchise basketball

This game is really good. It is a game that takes a lot of dedication if you wish to progress. Paying money to get bundles helps tremendously, but one can still get very far in the game without paying.

Far worse than Franchise Football

“I play both football and basketball and find that only football has direct legend selection. It will cost so many coins to have an ultimate player. Even if you can have a decent team, your opponents can always beat you at the same time. I prefer the football one over this pathetic game.”

Thank you for your reply regarding the latter complaint. But still haven’t answered why franchise basketball has no direct legend selection? Is is so hard to add it on? Or it is a great way to make profits since we may use hundreds of coins simply to get only one certain legend?

It's not unusual to lose to a team with a lower rating. The OVRs on the teams are there to give you a relative idea of your team's strength compared to the opponents. How the specific players' skill ratings interact with each other and against the opponents is what determines wins and losses.

Fun game but it’s pay to win

Guess just like any other game you basically gotta spend real money to get a decent team. Still fun to play but the work we live in is money hungry so it is what it is
