Do not support games like this one who want to charge you micro-transactions for single player content. Refund requested immediately upon finding out.

if only they kept updating the game with new players would be way better

I paid 7 dollars for this game, and honestly, it feels like a complete waste of money—definitely not worth even a single dollar. The game operates in a way reminiscent of a casino, intentionally designed to frustrate players and entice them to spend real money on in-game currency. This currency is necessary to unlock significant portions of the game’s content, which is frustratingly restricted.

If you choose not to spend additional money, you’re faced with the gruelling task of grinding through endless hours of gameplay, and even then, you might only manage to unlock about 20% of the total game content. This lack of accessibility and enjoyment makes the entire experience feel unbalanced and exploitative. Ultimately, I would strongly advise against investing in this game, as it simply isn’t worth the time or money.

FYI, I played this game on the Nintendo Switch several years ago and logged many hours of gameplay. Unfortunately, I was unable to unlock most of the characters. It was incredibly frustrating, especially since I had paid full price for the game, only to find that most of it was locked. You start with only about 10 players available.

For some reason, I decided to download it on Steam so I could play it on my ROG Ally X.
I completely forgot how annoying it was that the game focuses heavily on microtransactions. Eventually, I gave up on this game because of that. We all must stop paying for these types of games once and for all, I will ask for a refund even for that 7 dollars.

A blast if you’re into casual, arcade-style basketball. It’s super easy to pick up, with crazy dunks and over-the-top action that feels a lot like the old NBA Jam days. Playing with friends is where it really shines—tons of fun, lots of laughs.

The only downside is the grind to unlock players, which can be a bit much unless you’re okay with spending a bit more. But honestly, if you’re just looking for a good time on the court without taking things too seriously, this game is a solid choice!

1920x1080 at 60fps on highest settings on oled deck is niiiiiice.much better than switch

Online play is gone, but its just a simply addictive time-waster. Easy mechanics to learn, tough to master. Fast paced and local play is smooth. Worth a couple bucks on sale. Grin out a season and 3-point contest to unlock cards pretty quickly.

+ Graphics, animations are very nice
+ Players have distinctive caricatural faces

- Play by play commentary is repetitive
- Gameplay is boring, soulless and devoid of any flair or personality
- You start the game by opening a couple of players packs.... and those are the only available players for quite some time...
- ....and you'll need to grind the rest (or pay)
- Unlocking some legends (like Jordan) appears to require ungodly amounts of extra grinding.


Expected a modern time recreation of NBA Jam, got a lousy P2W soulless grindfest that could only come from 2K.

Refunded.

SO UNREALISTIC! And I love it. Good, chill arcade style basketball. Its a real fat bummer that you cant complete any of the daily changes now that the game is pretty much sidelined. So, if you want to unlock any of the swag or court editor pieces, you are going to have to pay... probably a lot. Luckily you can still unlock all of the players.

No cloud saves for a game that you can spend money on is actually crazy, say goodbye to your money if you ever uninstall the game

Its good but my online servers will not work, it says that i have to agree with the policy even though i have already done that.
