### 1/5 — Super glitchy

*2026-06-22*

Game is not worth playing. Freezes and won’t let me complete actions

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-06-06*

Great game

### 1/5 — Need refresh

*2024-07-28*

Love the idea of these games but they are so unknown and unplayed but this one is just a bit underdeveloped and not as fun as these games can be I hate the fact games like these have less players than game like the official nba 2k game mobile because that isn’t fun if you like these kinds of games just keep looking dont waste your time

### 2/5 — Overall

*2024-06-12*

Game is bad pretty hard to navigate and hard to do trades

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2024-05-09*

In game currency needed to hire coaches and make trades etc, need to pay for in game currency, buttons don’t work, try to change tactics and it goes back to default everytime, can’t add people to trade block (button is there but doesn’t work) a lot of the buttons just don’t work really

### 2/5 — End of season

*2024-04-16*

Even when you watch the video and have everything completed it will not let you start a new season. Seems like it’s trying to force you into paying for something that can be done by watching a video. Good game otherwise.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2024-03-18*

This game is so trash that the game is hard to do and it’s hard to fire coaches this is a one star game.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-02-23*

Obviously no work has been put into this game. All they want is for you to pay money for in game currency which is required to do anything.

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2024-02-20*

You have to buy in game currency to trade, hire coaches, etc. you literally have to pay just to keep playing. 

Just make the game 99 cents and be done with it. Not worth your time, I can’t even tell if the game it that fun cause I’m not going to proceed to sit here and send money so I can make trades.
