Just give us a character
We want to play with the character we like, in the position we like. But the game makes it so hard to even get one let alone get the skills and upgrade to make the character better.
If the devs can just give you a free character selection when you first join, then the player retention will probably be much higher. No one wants to play a game for hours or days with a character they don’t like just to grind to try to unlock for a character they actually want.

Ehh
Soon as you play against higher ranking players. For some reason your gonna miss majority of your shots and dunks that you know you would actually make like you would when you first started against lower ranking players. Ig whoever pays to play they get higher advantage and as for me to be an app tester i personally can say its ok if you dont mind paying but it feels more rigged to get you out your money. So this game need alot more done to it. 1 star
Scam
Doesn't tell you, you can't buy the limited skins. It just says obtain the character first.
Customer service is horrific.
Customer service is terrible. I was muted(I’ve never sent a message in chat) and never received an answer as to why. Matchmaking is terrible. Game is mediocre at best.
Pay to win Outside shooters
The game functionally is fun. Until you get into any competitive bracket in ladder. Then it’s filled with Double dribbling, unstoppable outside shooters. With multiple pump fakes, dribble moves that make no contact for no reason and shot stats so high you can Moderately contest them and every shot is going in. Occasionally they’ll do a dribble move and 1 inch from your face, throw it up as wide open. There are DROVES of useless characters, just because the Buyable ones are so far and above the rest. I have a 65%+ win rate in the current season - and I can’t stand this game anymore.
Отстой
Не работает кнопка броска, даже пробовал сменить управление не помогло(
Game just asks for money for literally everything after a certain point in the game
This is a game that uses and abuses pay to win transactions and should not be played by anyone in the western hemisphere. You can proceed in some cases but because of a paywall and I hit it very early on after grinding the game for hours it’s a scam game that requires money for nothing of improvement and when you voice your opinions in their actual game chat you get timed out or banned. Don’t waste you time on this fraudulent game. Just a bad game with micro-transactions.
Typical pay to win game
Don’t waste your time, avoid it
Account missing
They deleted my account and Ik they did because I use my Apple ID everytime to sign in and all of a sudden my characters or my stuff not there I had to start all the way over
Only an hour of a tutorial
Literally the most basic game but has hours of slow tutorials without a way to skip. Love how dumb devs need to make you go through it and you arent able to even control the game you are playing ….until 5 days later…because a left side move and a button that says shoot is too hard to understand I guess. Even a blind kid doesn’t need a slow agonizing tutorial much love 🤣🤣🤙🏼 just thought I’d throw my 2 cents in and maybe they will grow up and add a skip

So
get this trash off your phone
All they want is your money. I should’ve known when i saw the terrible quality and graphics. Delete this TRASH ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY AND DATA!!
纯氪金游戏
这个垃圾游戏不氪金根本玩不下去，趁早关服滚吧
Game would actually be good if
Game strongly favors pay to win players with a very skewered Gacha system that never once gave me a character in 30 pulls and mind you it takes whole weeks(more) to get thirty pulls not using new player events and such. TLDR game is really good in gameplay but sadly suffers from rampant pay to win methods and scummy Gacha rates, about what I expect out of China though not to mention also everything is Ai built clearly.
Scam!!!
Game glitched and I can’t log into my account and they want to charge me 10 dollars recover my account
scammers
they promised certain rewards for players once a youtube goal was met , after that goal was met , they changed the rules and only allowing very specific small amount of players eligible for rewards.. until they fix this i give the game 1 star and unsubscribe to youtube and fb and instagram.. this game is greedy and grimey
Pay2Win
Game loops you in as the early stages/ranks are super easy. Then right when you reach a higher ranks, you notice how overpowered a lot of the paid characters are. Don’t waste your time.
Worst game I’ve ever played
There is no way you play your horrible monkey smooth brained game and publish this horse sht. You have the worst devs I’ve ever seen. If your brain is the size of a walnut you probably shouldn’t make games especially not if your entire family tree is inbred retards. I would end the tree now :)
Pay to win
The wall is there once you see your not playing bots
Don’t download this it’s pay to win.
This game revolves around paying to winning also crossovers are broken when they are leveled up too high. It’s impossible to play good defense when people always crossover at the three-point line. Also, nobody really plays this game. There’s too many bot matches now and a very toxic community.
垃圾游戏
Ios13更新后一直闪退,
Shooting
The shooting mechanics on this game is bad ppl be missing wide open green releases with a 100+ rating shooting
lost purchases
had this game for years and i mean years put a few bucks into it too..the app was updated and i lost EVERYTHING from my players i grinded out to all my rubies i saved! I know yall wont refund my money, at least give me my progress back😭😭😭
Game used to be fun
They are so money hungry that you have to wait on certain events to even get characters! The are playing on people’s fomo (Fear of missing out) but the game is dead so why not let people just buy the characters that they want?
If I could give it zero stars I would
This game is filled with Pay to Win, spam filled, bot filled lobbies. No matter how hard you try you will only be good if you spend money. Not only that but the player base is TOXIC.
The worst basketball game
A trash dumb game
This game is absolutely terrible.
This game can be fun at times, but when you actually play the game, it’s either your getting trash talked by your teammates or the opponents. The AI’s are absolutely awful, and the games currency is so expensive. You might be awesome in the Ladder mode, but if you play Street Legend Mode, it’s like your character has never played basketball before. They don’t make one shot and they have like a 10% chance to make it. This game is absolutely horrible not worth downloading.
This game used to be so good.
For one. I think it’s a sad marketing ploy that you guys still have “Brand new game” when this has been out for almost 9 years now… 2: I tried getting back into this for the first time in about 3 years and my account is lost. When trying to do the account transfer from my Facebook account the help page is no help at all… I don’t remember my account name hence why it was linked to another application. And it being “temporarily suspended” that was posted a year ago. This game is a lot of fun but the developers are lazy and don’t care anymore. And 4.8 stars is complete bogus… I’m just disappointed and want to play really bad but it’s looking like that won’t happen. It’s a shame because now I have adult money lol and would probably spend some on it because of how much I did enjoy this. I would love to figure this out if someone actually cares to reach out to me… I’d take this review down…
Good game but skins cost💀
So I’ve been playing this game for a while and I really enjoy it but having to pay a skin for $100 is crazy and a scam that’s just insane I was hoping I would get shooting guards Conan T-501 skin for $5 or $10 or even $20 for to keep it but I have to pay $100 just for 1 skin I think that’s ridiculous but if you guys wanna make more money just make skins a perfect amount of money because no one is gonna pay $100 for a permanent skin and no one is gonna rent a skin forever that’s just ridiculous so please reduce the prices by 80-90% so skins can be $10-20 dollars you guys would make more money doing that.
Fun Game but Scammy
I spent real money on the game to upgrade my character. However due to glitches, game issues, and support that refuses to help, it’s not actually possible to fully upgrade some items or characters as the game is designed to do.
If a game sells paid upgrades, they should work as advertised. Until glitches are fixed and refunds are issued, I can’t recommend spending money on this game.

Wait time
Just going to say wait time be absolutely to long it should be rewarded more since the wait time is so long I use 1 hour experience and it totally went to waste because of the wait times I feel like that’s a rip off and as hard as it is to gain resources makes the game a pay to play game on can really advance if u are spending money I feel as the free to play player are not really getting to enjoy the game because everything is so difficult to obtain so if u play a player that is playing u will absolutely have no chance so u can’t advance once u are at a certain level in the game u have to watch entirely to many ads to obtain very little rewards which takes up more time from actually playing the game which is why most people probably downloads games anyway it’s a good game in the beginning but gets old fast and not truly a fair game because it’s so hard to obtain anything after your first seven days did like now totally disappointing and unfair has potential to be a great game it is addictive but it’s a unfair system to the players who can’t afford to pay because free to play will never get rubies and basically that is the only way to enjoy the game so if you are willing to spend it’s good for you but if you free to play after your first couple weeks this game will get horribly unfair example just got new charact Javier maxed out his abilities and I can’t even beat Havoc so to me I wasted a lot of time and resources in that case I should have just played with havoc from the beginning so yes very. disappointing
The falloff is crazy
This game used to let you get pretty much any character and like a month later to get the newest character. But now they have pretty much taken most of the roster away for purchasing with gems and now all the sudden all the characters are “limited time event” locked meaning you can’t ever get them unless the devs decide to put them in a new overpriced event just to get 1 character. I kinda understand why most of the player just down right quit recently
Game
This game has to many bots and to many bad players
Help the game
Dear developers I don’t like the game because when I pass the ball it is always going to the player so please can you do something

Communication
I feel like it would be better if there were voice chat. The way people conduct themselves in this game in particular is embarrassing. I’m deleting my account (all other basketball mobile accounts) and I will never touch a mobile basketball game ever again. Looks like 2k is the only option to be honest.
Unfair game
It’s a really fun game, but the problem is is that when you going against teams it’s a unfair advantage because everybody is so high-powered there’s never a even match game that is set then you have stronger players downplaying the weaker ones which makes it not enjoyable to play I it would be fun if it had competition and were able to communicate to have better teamwork in the game
Pay to win
It’s pointless to play some characters because other characters are so much better you need to balance this game out
SAS
This game is pretty fun very cool concept you can play with friends too
Great and fun but freezing constantly and glitching often.
Makes me not want to play it due to the constant glitches.
Account lost
So like, I couldn’t update the app for a couple of months cause of a subscription I had to pay off, but eventually, which so today, like 15 minutes ago, I paid it off, updated SBA, then I checked to see my account, “VOF xhu”. I have proof it’s my account and screenshots, I spent so much money on that account racoondigi, please help me.
Tutorial
No soy nuevo, y me molesta mucho que al querer meterme en mis diferentes cuentas para verificar donde tengo todo es necesario hacer un tutorial que dura como 10 minutos, sin la posibilidad de omitir eso, he intentado volver a jugarlo después de algún tiempo pero parece que ni eso han podido mejorar, mejor me voy de nuevo.
