« Plays like a modern day NBA Jam. The game has a surprisingly high skill ceiling due to the huge amount of moves available to you. The game is superior to NBA 2k26 and 3on3 Freestyle Rebound because it is skill based and not pay to win. »

« So easy to play through hundreds of games without noticing the time. Get a team, pass the ball. FYI there is no local co-op or offline modes. »

« Such a fun game. It definitely needs more updates as far as content though. Its pretty barebones but that is to be expected at this stage. If they don't do regular updates this game will die fast and not live up to the $30 price tag. »
