You can have some fun on the game but don’t expect to be a top player without spending just like all mobile games. There are time gates and the cards you collect constantly get power crept out of the meta. You can put down the game at any time for months or years and within an event or two have a brand new shiny team with more power than you ever had. The chat filter sucks and there’s countless frustrating gameplay mechanics such as not being able to turn around to run backwards so the ball handler just runs past you on fast breaks or the fact that players like Tony Allen aren’t specialized in defense(??) the devs made very questionable decisions by not making any qol changes in years so there’s that. I don’t think they care about the game other than it providing cash flow for them so don’t expect a great game, I’m telling ya. It’s entertaining tho. ### 4/5 — Needs replays *2026-08-30, version 10.20.12479169* This game is very good but it needs replays badly because I was doing crazy dunks with my players and I want to be able to see them one more time so replays need to be added🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 ### 3/5 — Won’t update 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 *2026-08-29, version 10.20.12479169* Update even though I’m tapping update but when I used to play, it was a good game so that’s why I gave it three stars ### 3/5 — 🙁🙁🙁 *2026-08-29, version 10.20.12479169* Lots of bug after the update🙁 ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-27, version 10.20.12479169* I love it I would definitely recommend it ### 2/5 — Inbounds *2026-08-27, version 10.20.12479169* No matter what you do in this game. You will spend half of your time inbounding the ball. Guaranteed. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-27, version 10.20.12479169* Best game ever I shoot it is so easy and it’s just fun they should make more games like that . ### 4/5 — Qqq *2026-08-27, version 10.20.12479169* Good game but the sound won’t turn off ### 3/5 — Decent Gameplay Options *2026-08-26, version 10.20.12479169* This game is so slow function,the best thing about this game is the card and how they look after making a team u might play for 20 mins than you’ll play it the next day it not fun and it’s seems to be a other pay to win game but it’s just against AI like come there is noway to play against real players and be consistent on the game ### 3/5 — NBA 2k *2026-08-26, version 10.20.12479169* This game is one of the better basketball games I’ve played in a while so pretty good can be flawed and shot timing is weird. ### 5/5 — NBA *2026-08-26, version 10.20.12479169* Best game even though I like football more ### 5/5 — It’s awesome!!!!❤️👍 *2026-08-26, version 10.20.12479169* Love the game so much the game looks so real especially for mobile it’s super fun if you don’t have the actual NBA 2K this is a great backup. I have so many consoles that I can play NBA 2K on, but I still love to play this so much the shooting techniques the shooting forms they’re really accurate and the ratings just are amazing. ### 4/5 — Good but somethings are bad *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* overall the game is good but it very pay to win and certain game modes lag a lot ### 5/5 — Super good game!! *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* Very entertaining way of playing basketball in this game. It’s strategic and fun. ### 2/5 — New update bugs *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* Since new update it has the network loading every so often which stops me from interacting with the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-08-31, version 10.20.12479169* Game glitches too much midplay. Playing Overtime event, game froze as I was up. Game closed, then claimed I lost ball. WTF. This is such a bad standard for a popular game. Ripping away rewards & event energy because your subpar product cant go ten seconds without failing is poor quality assurance. CPU teams ranked mich lower than USER teams somehow block every shot while Users are suddenly unable to hit wide open mid range attempts. All developers of this product should be FIRED immediately. This team is lauy and unispired. Go back to working at the local car wash you bums. ### 1/5 — Ts is ah *2026-08-28, version 10.20.12479169* When I try to steal the ball my players are waving the air all the time😭 ### 1/5 — Worst face scan yet. *2026-08-26, version 10.20.12479169* every single year it’s the same thing. The face scan app works terribly and takes hours just to get one scan sometimes. to my shocking surprise it seems like 2K 27’s face scan is the worst yet. billions of dollars a year you make on this game and you can’t make one simple quality of life feature easy on the players. literally the worst part about buying 2K every year is dealing with this stupid useless part to use face scan scan feature. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* The latest update contains a bug that makes the game literally unplayable. A “network error” would pop up a million times during a match, meaning the controls cannot be used at all. ### 1/5 — Heinous. *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* Originally my review credited this game with at least being fun. It’s not. The randomness and glitches just makes this unplayable. Not to mention it’s absolutely pay to win. This game creates one of the dumbest most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had on my phone. Just give up on making a 2k mobile. I’d rather lick a cheese grater and bite a lemon rather than redownload this. ### 1/5 — Stop glazing *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* 2k u must like Dhi bc everytime I make a shot it shows that u put it at slightly late right and I made it one time and so when I try to do it again here it goes missing 5 times u is garage Ronnie2k I wash more better than u ### 1/5 — Quarter time *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* Cant adjust the timer to full 12 minutes. Its only 2 minutes per quarter. Unless someone replies to this and tells me how to adjust the time per quarter then im changing my rate to a five star ### 1/5 — 更新 *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* 更新完也太慢了吧，比以前慢多了，根本没法玩 ### 1/5 — Update is terrible. Please fix it *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* This game WAS amazing and then they just did a mandatory update and now it’s TERRIBLE on head to head. The buttons are so delayed or not working at all. And even worse now it just sits on the load screen saying “logging in” except it never logs in and I can’t even play now. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Bad connection to server after recent update on 24/8/2026 *2026-08-25, version 10.20.12479169* Very poor connection to server after the last update on 24/8/26. The control freezes while the game clock continues and it is impossible to play on in time limited time events. Please fix it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — W game *2026-08-31, version 10.20.12479169* This game is amazing I was looking for basketball games and I found this me and my cousin love this and it changed my life also go Knicks😀😀😀 ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-30, version 10.20.12479169* It’s very fun and worth buying and it’s free ### 5/5 — Arham Rahman. *2026-08-30, version 10.20.12479169* It was as.
