### 2/5 — Facebook Login Outdated

*2026-07-08, version 2.10.5*

Game is so fun but after returning to this game I find that the Facebook login is outdated so I can’t access my years of progress anymore, please fix this.

### 2/5 — Unresponsive asf

*2026-06-08, version 2.10.5*

The power plays (yknow, half the fkn gameplay?) are unresponsive af. You swipe to pass, shoot, steal, and the game doesn’t register your inputs. Wouldn’t be that bad if the game didn’t make it so when you “mess up” the other team gets a huge boost, but when you succeed the boost is minimal. So you can pick all the correct 1on1 matchups, but it won’t matter because the the 2 failed powerplays pretty much garuntee a loss against any component team. I redownloaded this game after a long time of not playing, and now I remember why I quit

### 4/5 — Fun but needs more updates

*2026-04-22, version 2.10.5*

I’ve had the game since early years in high school and I’ve been on and off the game throughout the years. The campaign mode needs to offer more ways to win better player cards to compete with the best.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-04-11, version 2.10.5*

I’ve been playing for a little over a month now been enjoying the game it just won’t let me play the multiplayer nor with it let me connect to face book other than that fun game

### 3/5 — Такое себе

*2026-01-16*

Игра тупо не запускает,а так норм. Играю уже долго,один из лучших составов в игре

### 5/5 — Matthews

*2025-12-28, version 2.10.5*

So good

### 5/5 — Absolute cinema.

*2025-12-21, version 2.10.5*

I first played this game years ago and I’ve came back to it recently as it popped into my mind. I still have the same love for this game from when I first played it. I love the concepts, designs, and vibe of the game, especially since I love basketball. I have no problems with this game except for one. I dislike how some of the power plays have impossible to win scenarios like shooting from behind the backboard or the person you are passing with is bugged so the release point is different from where it actually shows. Also I think buzzer beater shots to win games are impossible or extremely difficult because I’ve had about 6 buzzer beater scenarios and haven’t made a single one. It looks as if its to do with the power because I shoot on target but there isn’t an option to control power, which I like, but making one of those shots just seems impossible. Apart from that I love this game and find nothing else imbalanced in it. What a masterpiece.

### 5/5 — 1

*2025-12-08*

Игра не плохая , но к сожалению скучноватая мало сюжетных уровней, за 10 лет существования можно было бы много чего добавить в сюжет и ввести какие-нибудь эвенты для разнообразия !

### 5/5 — Basketball Rivals, honestly a great game, but don’t expect support from the developer

### 1/5 — Unable to get into account

*2026-07-22, version 2.10.5*

I’ve contacted support 3 times to no avail. I really enjoy this game but I’m unable to access my account! I have lost all my progress and players, my game is also glitching so I can’t play a single game or edit my team, I’m only able to get into the game through connecting to Google in app. Once I refresh the app I’m unable to get back in without deleting it and going through the process all over again. Please help

### 1/5 — Пожалуйста доработайте игру

*2026-05-13*

Играл до этого, все очень нравилось. Решил поиграть снова и тут куча проблем: 
1) игра переодически зависает и приходиться перезаходить 
2) когда перезаходишь аккаунт откатывается назад на час игры +- (очень обидно) 
3) без ВПН не заходит в Турниры (совсем) 
4) временами ну очень долгий заход в игру

### 1/5 — Ррр

*2026-04-15*

Сначала все работало хорошо, в аккаунт Гугл не всходило, раньше играл, через день получилось войти через впн, потом игра просто перестала запускаться

### 1/5 — Slow and money hungry

*2026-02-02, version 2.10.5*

What’s the point of taking money only to push your own games? Barely responsive to closing the ads too. 

Sneaky tactics (their intro PAID offer says “remove 3rd party ads” and slow UI. Spent money to support developers since I had fond memories playing this years ago. I refuse to support and play games like these anymore, yall dropped off.

### 1/5 — Oyun Açılmıyor

*2026-01-01, version 2.10.5*

Oyun açılmıyor yükleniyor diyo ama hiç bi şekilde açılmıyor ilgilenirmisiniz

### 1/5 — Not worth playing anymore

*2025-10-27, version 2.10.3*

The game is really old and basic by modern standards, not worth playing anymore.

Also, it’s quite weird how most of the players are white guys

### 1/5 — Oyun Açılmıyor

### 5/5 — Update Please

*2026-06-22, version 2.10.5*

This game was literally a part of my childhood. I am quite upset that this game hasn’t gotten an update. An update I would like to see is new players being added with new abilities (maybe a new rarity), a new storyline, rework to tournament (mainly to make it shorter), and new cutscenes / fix the old ones since they are buggy. Please hear us developer!

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-05-15*

### 5/5 — 실수로 앱 삭제 됐는데

*2026-03-28*

실수로 앱 삭제 됐는데 클라우드에 저장되어 다시 다운 받으면 되겠다 싶었죠
근데 클라우드에 저장된것이 최근 저장이 아니더군요
매일매일 클라우드에 저장했지만 데이터 복구시 최근 저장이 아니더군요
117까지 올렸는데 레벨 7이라니..
현질도 했는데 너무하네요

### 5/5 — 🤞

### 5/5 — oyun desteği mi kesildi?

*2026-01-14, version 2.10.5*

Güncel iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS 26.2 telefonum ile girmeye çalıştığımda “yükleniyor” ekranında kalıyor. Sanırım bir optimizasyon sıkıntısı var. Yardımcı olusanız sevinirim.

### 5/5 — Game
