Fire Game!!!!!

Best hoop game in the market!!!! Love how the game moves when you move wherever you go you can collect new stuff money play different players so if you travel a mile, there’s a bunch of stuff on your way wherever you’re going and back.
It’s very realistic love how you can change up your gear, your shoes, different basketball colors and art on the balls. The players are spot on their skills are pretty much the same as in real life. If you really get into the game, you’ll understand what I’m saying, but this is a great game I suggest anyone into basketball download this game and have fun you get to work out and lose a few pounds in the process.

NBA All-World Review

I think this is a fantastic game and i can’t wait to be able to get every player into the game, but I think that it may be too difficult and some changes should be made. The only way for me to level up at this point in the game is by using a large amount of tournament rings which is very difficult to do if I am capped at one a day most days. Everything else in the game you can grind for and I personally have an abundance of, but I can’t level up anymore because it takes so long to get tournament rings. It’s gotten to the point where the game isn’t really as fun anymore because I have every player I can possibly get and all I am waiting for is getting more tournament rings to level up. I think making it less rings to upgrade players of higher levels or making it easier/faster to get them would make the game more enjoyable. Other wise though, it’s a fantastic games with only a few bugs and great gameplay!

I love this game but it has a couple of super annoying bugs.

I play this game everyday I love the mechanics, collecting, leveling up and the gyms. I have a couple of comments. Firstly there are two horrible glitches or bugs. One is that when you level up the level up sound for the ratings going up doesn’t stop until you completely close out the game. Another one is if I play to many games in a row without closing the game the rewards start glitching and I have to press the screen for up to a minute until the rewards screen finally gives me the option to exit. Last thing is about the king of the court, I understand if you have to battle all the way up if there are real humans holding all the positions but if it’s bots there should be a way to bypass a couple places because the grind is way too crazy. I had to give 5 star rating because despite those pretty big problems I love this game thank you to the producers. If the glitches get fixed I’ll write a different better review thanks.

Great game to play walking

I’ve walked over 50mi ever since i downloaded this game. A few glitches here and there that I’m sure Niantic is working on, other than what is the endgame? I enjoy it because it gets me out the house…sometimes exploring other places and seeing landmarks I don’t normally pay attention to when I’m out and about. It feels like Im collecting players and boosting them up. I hope Niantic introduces legendary players as special events like Bird, Wilt, MJ, Shaq etc. That’d be cool! Also, it would be nice if our players in gyms are wearing the gear we have selected them to wear so other players can peep our swag. Thanks for making this game and looking forward to future updates.

Incredibly frustrating

1-on-1 games are the most important part and yet most broken part of this game. After level 10- Your skill and your player rating are much less important than who starts with the ball in these first-to-3 games. Pretty much whoever starts the with the ball is going to win unless your rating several hundred points higher. Additionally, the amount of crashes that cause you to lose games is crazy…feels like this game is really in beta.

I’m all for hardcore grinding to progress, have played pogo and hpwu (rip) since day 1, but the grinding in those games was about how much time/effort I had to spend. This game, the grinding is blocked by poor game mechanics and crashes that make it feel like a hopeless waste of time.

Also, game makers alienating all current players with new achievement rewards update is ridiculous. What could you possibly gain from hurting your entire active player base? This makes no sense.

If you have an old phone, this game isn’t for you. 5-10 minutes of playing, especially the 1-on-1 games, and you phone is going to feel like it’s on fire (playing on iPhone 14…)

The first couple weeks and 10ish levels were a lot of fun, which I assume is who most of the 5-star reviews are from. After that, yikes.

Hopefully they can add other types of tournaments/ways to get rings (shooting tournaments?) and sort out the crashing issues, otherwise this game won’t be around long.
