### 1/5 — good game BUT WHY WHEN I TURN UP THE DIFFICULTY MY TEAM PLAYS WORSE

*2024-01-30*

Good game way to easy but when I turned it on to the maximum difficulty my team can’t make a UNDER THE PAINT SHOT OR A CONTESTED 2 BUT THE OTHER TEAM CAN HIT A CONTESTED FADE AWAY THREE WHILE TWO PEOPLE WERE GUARDING HIM . Also the other team gives you no personal space as soon as you touch the ball and SPAM STEAL THE BALL AS SOON AS THEY COME CLOSE. I pass the ball to my teammate and shoot JUST FOR HIM TO HIT THE TOP OF THE BACKBOARD the only points that I get is from dunks in speaking of dunks how does the bot dunk the ball even though I’m standing in it’s face but it doesn’t work for me. Fix your game please I get it I picked i harder difficulty but that doesn’t mean as soon as I touch the ball the should get it taken from me and when I shoot the ball I shouldn’t hit the top of the backboard and my team shouldn’t act like they’ve never heard of basketball and those people who stay under the paint and don’t do anything actually make them guard the people who are wide open or make it a optional thing

### 4/5 — DEVELOPORS PLEASE READ!!!!!

*2023-11-28*

It’s a really fun game but I just have a few problems. First of all, making threes are pretty hard m. I’ve been playing for almost a week already now, and I have only made 5 or 6 threes, so if you could change that it would be awesome. Secondly, could you maybe add an online mode where you can play against actual people, that would be amazing to. Next, can you also add where the stick people have names, and different abilities for each one. And if you could maybe add a skill button where they can do moves instead of just dribbling the ball that would be great. Lastly, there is this ad box in front of the score and time and I can’t see the score or how much time is left in the quarter, so if you could at least move it somewhere else, like the bottom maybe, that would be amazing, thank you! Other than those few minor change necessities, it is a very fun game and I would still get it, so could you developers PLEASE PLEASE read this that would be great, thanks!!!

### 5/5 — Love this game! But 2 things need to change/be added

*2023-03-25*

1. I like the way you guys made this game with the shooting and when the jumó their highest release Im kinda fine with that but I would recommend adding a shot meter because I feel like it would just be easier for newer players to find out how to shoot better in this game without the whole jumping thing 

2. Please for the love of god I play on a iPhone XR and it’s so frustrating when I can’t see the scoreboards because of the ads that pop up on the scoreboard not allowing me to see it and I have to pause the game just to see the score and sometimes when I do pause it an ad pops up and it’s really annoying so please remove it because I’m not paying 99¢ on a game

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-03-12*

I love this game. It’s like real basketball and the different teams there are make it easy for me to pick. I like the team editor especially. You can change teams into whatever you like and all that kind of stuff. I like the seasons too and the rewards. I can play matches without choosing and I can unlock new balls and dunks. Great game overall, I recommend this game to anybody that wants a game based on basketball.

### 4/5 — Could you make a 2022 version of this game?

*2022-10-09, version 1.1.3*

Its been about 5 years since this game has been out. And this game has gotten pretty boring, no updates nor any fun. I really want you guys to make a 2022 version of this game with new animations, ball handles, and shots. I know it will be hard but there is not many offline basketball games like this and i really want you guys to make a new game. I also hope that if you guys make a new basketball game, i hope you could buy characters like the 2018 soccer game. Please and Thank you if you can

### 4/5 — It’s a great game but one issue

*2022-08-25, version 1.1.3*

I love this game and I really love how you can make your own team. But one small issue is that every time I play I always see an ad pop up in front of the score and then I have to pause it and watch and ad just to see the score in the pause menu. What I’m saying is just move the ad to another part of the screen or just remove it completely. But overall great game. Good job dyjinnworks

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-03-07, version 1.1.3*

Ok I love it I just how most the time when I shoot a 3 it air balls and goes out and I hate that there are no challenges or fouls but sometimes I foul the bots So there are some problems that should be fixed ok seriously I have found out how to make shots hold shoot down I scored 70 points

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2022-01-16, version 1.1.3*

Alright let’s get this straight it’s honestly an amazing game you guys did amazing but I have some ideas. One make it so we can draft players and purchase characters with coins witch is another idea currency would be a great addition also can you make an online mode where you can add friends and play with them. That’s all my ideas once again good job devs and these are my ideas for the game

### 4/5 — Ehh

*2021-12-02, version 1.1.3*

Starting off with, this game is great but there’s some bugs and parts of the game that don’t make sense.
  
Three Pointers:
Three Pointers are so hard to master and make. If you hold it for too short, it just goes straight up in the air, but if you hold it for too long, it goes over the backboard. I’ve even had perfect timing and it looked like it was going in, but it hit the top of the backboard. Something I would recommend is a shot meter.

Shots:
So I would make a shot like the other day I banked a half court shot, but it would go down the hoop and it wouldn’t count. An other example in I shot a three, I made it and the ball just worked it’s at out the hoop.

Realistic:
I feel like the game should be more realistic and the CPU should be harder and not as easy as it is. The players should have jersey numbers or their own names. And I feel like their should be a career mode. You can design and customize your player and you could be drafted. Also, players should look different like they can be stickman but some have hair or a beard with mustache like something different and their own names. 

Conclusion:
Overall I rate the game a 4.1 out of 5 stars. Other than those 3 main bugs of the game, the game is addicting and the season mode is great.

### 5/5 — Great game, but…

*2021-11-05, version 1.1.3*

This is a great game, though it could use a bar that you can see when you shoot so that you can time it perfectly and get a good shot from long distance. Also they could improve the passing a little bit. Other than that, I love the game
