### 4/5 — WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SKIP THE ASG

*2026-09-03*

Game is good but not having the option to skip through the animations during all star weekend is annoying. ASW update is amazing though!

### 4/5 — The game is good but problems

*2026-09-03*

If u do green twice there’s still a chance u miss at that point it just feels useless and annoys u a bunch and also this one just PISSES me off man why whenever I make a player the second best player or best player on the team is in my position so I barely play it just ruins the experience just so so infuriating

### 5/5 — GREAT!!

*2026-09-02*

I love the game it has great features and pretty good progress and in game mechanics I even feel yall should make a football version as in American football that is because that is my go to sport and yea that’s it

### 1/5 — Annoying game

*2026-08-25*

The franchise I play for keeps getting higher rated players at my position so I just don’t play in the game and doesn’t get good players for other positions

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2026-08-22*

Very nice career game, one little annoying thing is how fast the challenges go by when you’re in a match. But everything else is great!

### 3/5 — Good game but just need some work.

*2026-08-19*

Great game one of the best simulation games on the app store but i will say though it does need some work. First the rotation and playing time not to be a jerk but its beyond horrible one minute you’re a starter next a benchwarmer even if coming outta high school you were the number 1 player and even if signing to a low, mid tier school still on the bench and don’t even get me started on making the league lol. Second and final sometimes when doing the mini games there’s a bit of a lag and can affect the gameplay. That’s really all i have this game has potential to be phenomenal!

### 1/5 — The rotation

*2026-08-16*

I rated this a 1 because the logic in this game is horrible how can I be the #1 prospect in my state and I sign to a d1 collage and barely get any playtime and even if I do sign with a 1 star college I still get no playtime and avg 3 points per game this game is pay to win do not recommend

**Developer response:** Hey, appreciate the review! There is currently no way to pay for SP. Next time at least review honestly, thanks.

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-08-15*

Best basketball career game I’ve found on mobile

### 5/5 — Such a fun game!!

*2026-08-13*

1 bug is that every time you restart the app, the relationship between the teammates get reset to 50. Other than that, this game is so so fun.

### 5/5 — Fire realistic Game totally recommend

*2026-08-06*

Been looking for a in depth realistic career mode and this is it. What is cool is this is just the beginning I’m sure they will add updates to make the game better than what it already is!
