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!!! ### 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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Good game *2021-05-23, version 1.1.3* This game is exellent, I reccomend it. Guys, stop complaining. It’s mostly good. The no ads price is really cheap! I know there are some drawbacks about this game so i’ll tell some of them. 1. Difficulty for graveyard: For the graveyard, you can’t choose the difficulty, you can’t choose the teams, and you can’t choose how long the game is. I’m kinda dissapointed about that. 2. The limit of teams: I personally wish there is an infinte teams limit but thats my opinion. 3. Womens League Ball: I think the Womens league ball looks kinda boring because it’s all purple and there is no fun stuff for boys, it’s just fun for girls. Thats all drawbacks i have. Other than those. This game is good. ### 4/5 — Please fix it *2020-12-08, version 1.1.3* Your game has so much adds I Press pause and I have to watch a add and there a thing by the score I can’t Even see the score it’s so annoying I have to press pause just to see who’s winning can you please fix this the games good I like it there just so much adds please fix it. And the players Push you and there’s no fail called please fix it all ### 4/5 — Good but too easy *2020-03-29, version 1.1.2* The game is great really fun but when I first started playing this game it was fun and a bit hard but after a while I became good that I started playing in the hardest difficulty but it is so easy that I win my games by 20 points or more this would be one of the best basketball games if it was harder also when you make a basket there is so much celebration the crowd should just calm down because it is just a basket of there wasn’t a lot of celebration and if the game was harder then this will be one of the best games I have ever played ### 5/5 — Like it but the glitches are CRAZY *2020-02-22, version 1.1.2* I personally LOVE this game. It’s so cool to edit teams and make them like NBA teams. The bad news about this game is the glitches. For example, I am destroying this team in seasons with about 1 minute left and it glitches out of the game. This has occurred not once, not twice, not three, but FOUR times! Really great game but I am about to delete. ### 5/5 — I love this game!!!! *2020-02-17, version 1.1.2* This game is awesome! You can just mess around, shoot threes, and dunk. You can earn rewards and it is just plain fun. But it is too easy. They don’t block the threes. When I try to unlock the teams like the lakers by watching a video, it won’t let me. But in all, this is an amazing game. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars! ### 5/5 — Basketball stars *2020-02-01, version 1.1.2* Amazing game lot of effort but could use more realistic scenes in my opinion best basketball game yet a lot of people should recognize this game it breaks it down for you and not to mention it lets you do free throws but if it could have a shoot bar to know if you would be able to make the game instead of a five this game would be a ten star ### 5/5 — 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🅱️ *2019-12-31, version 1.1.2* It is a great game I love it but I would like if they added like 2k camera angle or narrators actually 2nd thought pass on the narrators. Even though it would be cool. And I’ve been trying to unlock the other teams but it won’t let me even though I hear the clicking sound. But you should definitely get this game,it is awesome 😎. ### 4/5 — Best stick man sport game ever!!! *2019-11-17, version 1.1.2* This game is my favorite sports game I’ve ever played. But I would like to see some changes that’ll make it even better. Like put difficulty settings and make it be new courts. One improvement I’d love to see is playing with real players! If u can play with other real players this game will be next level! If u can make these changes please do it. I’m looking forward to them. ### 5/5 — BEST BASKETBALL GAME EVER *2019-08-28, version 1.1.2* I absolutely LOVE this game it’s amazing and I personally like this because it’s very functional and the physics are good the characters look amazing the detail is awsome and also I like the score count and the replay mode and the camera changer sorry if this is much creators I just like everything about this game the only complaint is that it’s a little bit laggy but that’s just because I have really bad internet LOL 😂😂 but ya this game is Just so amazing thank you creators for making this keep making games 😃 Jerrydog ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Let me tell u something *2020-03-19, version 1.1.2* Flipping frustrating if you have the ball instantly gone you need to get it together I like all of your other games but this one is the worst and if you shoot a perfect layup you’ll miss every single time and even with threes the team will make them every time sometimes the team just shoots a full court and makes it how? And with the best team if you shoot a three air ball I played the worst team and well it was a total blowout the whole time I just got dunked on and slapped and maybe make it where slapping is less and I met someone and said the same thing well they thought it was terrible and bad graphics but I do not mind about the graphics ### 2/5 — Ads *2021-07-06, version 1.1.3* I get that you are trying to sell ad space it’s a free game and the money has to come from somewhere and I get that it’s smart to make people want to get the no ad thing but when I can’t see the scoreboard cause the ad bar is in the way then that’s a problem please move stuff around or fix it so I can still see the score board like put the ads in at the end of halfs or at the end and start of games ### 2/5 — Always Getting Stuck! *2019-02-21, version 1.1.2* The ball always gets stuck behind the backboard that holds it! The quarter won’t end until the ball hits the ground, so every time I have to quit and restart the game. The game is also really laggy. The game sometimes stops and then the ball is in a different place! One more thing, please start calling more fouls on the CPU, especially if every time someone steals the ball or blocks something, the players fall down. I lost a game because a foul wasn’t called...............ON EASY DIFFICULTY!! So yeah just these bugs to fix! ### 3/5 — This is not basketball. *2021-05-06, version 1.1.3* If I could give this game zero stars I would. I play basketball. Am sorry but you have know clue what basketball is about. I get tripped no whistle other team gets tripped whistle every time. Fix this please!!! I do love all of the other games you guys have made. Please keep making them. Ice hockey stickman love it. Football love it. This one please fix. Soccer love it. I play Basketball and Ice Hockey. Continue doing what you guys do best. But fix the tripping issue. I love your guys games and I would love to keep playing them. Thank you and have a good night. Stickman games are awesome!!! ### 3/5 — Not Bad *2021-04-09, version 1.1.3* Great game but it's too easy. It might not be that easy on the first few games but even on the hardest difficulty you will be beating teams 90-60. Also, I'm guessing this is them trying to get you to purchase the "no ads". They put the add right in front of the scoreboard...really? Like of all the places, right in front of the scoreboard? That's just dumb and needs to be changed. But overall not a bad game to pass time. ### 3/5 — It’s worth the price of $0 *2019-11-23, version 1.1.2* Tbh, I enjoy the games this company makes, but this one specifically is disappointing. Many mechanics are broken and don’t seem to work well. Three pointers are so hard to pull of, I wish I t had a meter showing when exactly to shoot ( like in their football game, which is pretty good compared to this). Dunks can’t be blocked, what’s so ever. The CPU is run by monkeys, but only the ones on your team. Lastly, and most prominently, what do the stats do. They never seems relevant when playing the game. No matter how big or small the number is below the teams defense, offense, etc, it has no effect on the game. Hopefully they fix this game, because if they ever make have a paid game, it’s definitely not worth it. ### 3/5 — Title *2019-11-12, version 1.1.2* This game is hard, so when I lose I eat chicken nuggets. After that I feel amazing so I jump in the snow on the beach, also while riding a turtle. In conclusion the game is a challenge but is definitely fun, so you should try it out because you just should. Also next time you live underwater hold your breath then you will go to magical banana land with SpongeBobSquarePants and Patrick Star! Make sure to try the banana split with spaghetti-pepperoniCafloni!! Thanks for looking at my review, I hope you have a laugh. If you see another silly one say: “Shabooyabooya”! ### 3/5 — HellO!! *2019-01-25, version 1.1.2* So I really really love this game! And I get over time you will learn the controls better and will get better at the game but it’s frustrating because I try to play on easy and even for easy I feel it’s ridiculously hard and then I get frustrated to the point where I don’t even wanna play anymore cause it’s not fun to constantly lose even on easy 🙁 I really want to enjoy this game but I can’t cause it’s stupid hard ### 3/5 — The team editing and jersey picking *2016-12-11, version 1.1.2* Before the game when you go to choose your jerseys I like it but you just have to play around with it because it doesn't tell you what color you picked. and about the team editing it doesn't work because when you change the colors it doesn't tell you what color you picked for the jersey shorts and shoes. But overall I love the game I love the graphics and I love the new shooting The ball physics are also great Thanks just wanted to let you know so you could do an update on it and fix it 😀😎😜 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Needs a practice mode *2021-09-05, version 1.1.3* I need to get better So a need a practice mode would be cool plus you can try really cool stuff and you could play with friends and a street ball mode would be cool to as well as one on one and a setting were you could control only one player on the team and mascots and more dunks and numbers and logos on the jerseys ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-04-20, version 1.1.3* This is the best game I have every game mode this game is super good it’s worth my time AI lvl pro is super hard but I recommend hard its a little easier but its like nba 2k just stickmen but otherwise its good great graphics and it has real basketball teams I think and I don’t even watch basketball or play it anymore because I think it’s boring but this game is really good I highly recommend this! ### 5/5 — Way to easy *2021-04-02, version 1.1.3* This game is great except for two things. 1.It shouldn’t be so easy to block/steal because you practically push your opponent down to get the ball and that should easily be a foul. 2. You should have to aim your joystick exactly the direction you want to shoot ### 5/5 — Dog water *2021-02-13, version 1.1.3* I like hedgehog and then they can dogs frog and I treated his teeth eat all the frogs and I also like foxes foxes are nice like foxes eat so many different kind of animals are so good to watch them eat on TV oh I like this game because it had a dog in it and then the dog died and the dog came back as a frog and then the frog got in my frog and a sister life cycle of life and make it was awesome and make the game really good I think this game is it was a five star rating five stars guys this is epic do you do you do you do ### 5/5 — Basketball Fun *2020-11-27, version 1.1.3* Basketball is one of my favorite sports. I really love and enjoy this game. The only problem I have with this game is that something from the products is blocking my view of the score on top of the screen and I would have to pause and check what the scores are. Also, whenever I pause the game periodically, a commercial ad erupts me, especially when after the end of a certain quarter of a game and it really starts to annoy me every once a while. Other than that, I still enjoy this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
