    We have three copies of this game in our house and have sunk hundreds of hours into it collectively. Great to be able to jump in and out of a quick multiplayer match.

    This is a fun game. A good distraction when I want something lighter or to play with someone who like basketball but is a casual gamer. Unfortunately it is almost ruined by the fact you start with so few players. It looks like I'm going to have to play for many hours to get a good selection of players. Or put up extra money. I only bought this because it was $20 before my GCU discount I don't plant to play it enough to unlock much and don't want to spend more.

    Not perfect, but fun arcade style basketball. Definitely a good break from the MARIO and Zelda games that normally consume my time on the Switch.

    I bought this as a gift for a friend's son who's 7, and he loves it! It's a fun, simple, playground basketball game that isn't too complicated for kids like NBA 2K/Live.

    This game has a lot of characters to unlock (or buy) but why in the 2K minds would you just start with only 5 guys? that's silly for a game that's playground style. this means it forces you to grind and grind and grind to unlock (unless you pay extra). 2k basketball is going to that direction and it's a shame. they dominated the basketball gaming market and are now taking advantage of fans. they still make good games but these pay-wall schemes are out of control.

    Kids love it and I enjoy playing it too. Fun for all ages. Only draw back is you have to pay for elite players. Reminds me a little of NBA Jam. Loved that game growing up

    For fans of arcade sports games like NBA Jams. This game plays very similar to that kind of game. I love arcade sports, so for me it is great. Should be good family fun.

    This was $20 on sale, and for that price, IT IS AMAZING!! It takes a laidback approach to basketball, with crazy move but yet competitive. Overall, really fun to play!
