Dunk Lords
While it’s early in this game’s release window, I can tell you this is one of the most fun and balanced basketball games I’ve ever played. Been playing in NBA JAM tournaments since 8 years of age, play NBA Showtime every once in awhile, all NBA Streets, JAM, hangtime, Urban Street basketball and many other arcade titles. This game captures a nostalgic element despite being new. 6 years in the making and you can tell that this game has Andy’s and Beeson’s heart all in it. The gameplay, the depth of a fighting game, random elements and the fast pace. Beautiful. THE ONLY KNOCK???? No online play yet, but support the game and that’ll come into fruition. With Playgrounds and now this (Also Basketball Classics) Arcade hoops is back.

In a time where Basketball is not on TV, Dunk Lords not only fills the gap, but provide quick, quirky gameplay that makes you wish NBA was just 2v2 and filled with Buff Strawberries.
Multiple games can be played in a short time. Couch Co-op is an absolute blast. Each Dunk Lord has a uniqueness and charm to them. The game is solid and would make an amazing Arcade cabinet.
With almost 10 hours in, I have played over 30 games and about half of the story mode. I can’t wait for a group of 4 to come play with. I fully support this game if you want that NBA Jam feel, but you really want to just be a bear who smacks people with fish.

PBA Basketball Slam: Arcade Edition
I’ve been playing PBA Basketball for a few hours now and I’m still hoping to unlock the campaign element to this game. I also don’t know much about PBA, but I love that it’s like NBA Jam. I wish there were more scenes to go to, more players and other options other than just Quick Match. It got old really fast. Hopefully there will be an update to this and I can give it a better review. However, I do recommend it. But I would recommend it more if I could do more things.

Same shit as the mobile version. But they did literally nothing to the game. Balance doesn’t make sense either.

Soccertron
Soccertron is a competitive sports game in which you either play vs. bots or play against (or with) up to 3 other players (locally).
There are 5 different types of rounds (game modes) which have some similarities with real sporst like; Basketball, Volleyball and football (No, I won’t call it ‘soccer’!).
The gameplay is fun and works nicely but a controller is highly recommended.
The main problem with the game is that it’s very minimalistic. There simply isn’t anything to keep you entertained in the long run.

This seemingly primitive multiplayer entertainment managed to surprise me - it turned out to be a cute singleplayer fun as well! If you remember DOS times you might recall the game ‘Arcade Volleyball’ (1987) which was very popular as a casual time killer. ‘Soccertron’ is obviously a creative developement of that idea - several ‘sports’ added along with modern physics engine and neon graphics. Bots are smart and persistent, tricky situations arise every second and after you get used to character motion (much more sophistiicated than predecessor’s) and controls the emotions flow like a river!

Regular Human Basketball
Warnings:
1. There is no single player mode
2. The community is practically dead, you’ll be lucky to find 2 to 4 people online to play with, if any
3. If you do manage to start a match the game play is unfortunately pretty slow and clunky
Positives:
1. You can play local multiplayer
2. It’s almost interesting as a party game
In summary: Be sure you actually have people to play this with or you won’t even be able to play it at all.

This game is absolutely the best. Tiny bit of a learning curve, but I really have no complaints. Fun action, makes you and your friends laugh, runs smooth as butter. Not to mention you can have up to 14 people playing this at once. 14 people. 10 on controller and 4 on keyboard.
I really hope that somehow, someway, this game will get a playerbase so that online matches will exist. There simply isn’t enough people playing to jump into a random online match.
Either way I absolutely love this game. You should definitely buy this game provided you have friends to play them with. (also check out the other powerhoof games. they totally rock)

NBA 2K22
I have failed and once again contributed to the annual money bucket scrap pile that is the NBA 2K series. The last 2K I purchased was 2K19, and for years I purchased the brand new 2K. I purchased every new 2K from 2K14 through 2K19 and did have plentiful fun with friends. However, with my friends having moved away from this game like so many others, I find it more infuriating than normal. It is the same game it was in 2K15 as not much has changed…
Here I will lay out a few things which are IDENTICAL to previous 2K titles, or essentially the things that matter…
– Real player with 346.8 hrs in game
1. Not next gen, even though pc graphics way better then console
2. Same game as last year, literally, same game
3. Poorest flow of movement in sports game today
4.Fouls are worse this year then any previous year, funny that NBA changed the ruling on fouls but 2k22 must not have gotten the memo
5.They said they improved defense, false, they made offense actually worse
6.Still have done nothing about the cheaters in the game, seriously someone made it to level 40 in a hour that a new season has been released?

NBA 2K21
The hands down worst game series is back with another carbon copy of its predecessor. I could just copy-paste my NBA 2k20 review, but that would be hypocritical.
I remember listing the recurring bugs and the most glaring defects in my early reviews. Perhaps the most annoying, recurring, bug is the automatic playcalling bug: There’s a switch in the options to toggle the playcalling from automatic to manual. The switch doesn’t work, still. An ongoing bug for some five years now. I’ve personally reported this bug for countless of times directly to the 2k “support”, with the same answer: It will be repaired in the next “version” of the “game”. If these are just yearly versions of the game, why do we pay 60 € for it? The number one disgusting “feature” of the game is the so-called personal power field: The basketball players on the court cannot really collide with their bodies, ever. There’s an invisible power field surrounding every player, which prevents collisions. And it prevents the realism of physics happening, unfortunately as well. Some old basketball computer games around 15 years ago displayed this horrendous feature. It was quickly removed. Until 2k games wanted to ruin the only NBA game franchise for PC for several years with that retarded feature. These are just examples, to give you an idea how low the standards are in every step of the production chain. Just to add a few…the pick’n’roll ball defender still tries to go under the screen, all these years after Steph Curry changed the league; You, or any of your teammates, are unable to tip the ball to the hoop off a rebound, only CPU’s team can; The animation gaps between you actually being able to control your player are so long. The list goes on and on. I don’t think one, single, area of this game is well, or even fairly produced. Every facet of the game is a fail.

It would honestly be fair to call 2K an evil company at this point. There are only two options; either the company is staffed solely by incompetent developers who are incapable of creating a functioning game OR, much more likely, they knowingly, annually, decide to tighten the screws of their monopoly around the heads of literally millions of kids who shell out billions of dollars in revenue to this company every year.
We can talk about rampant cheating, abysmal AI, or the horrific optimization that is sure to make even a beginer-level programmer cry himself to sleep. I, however, think it is much more interesting to talk about the scam itself: to purposefully make the game unbearable throughout every facet of its gameplay. The sheer malignance of such behavor is difficult to understand for normal people, but here it is important to understand how financial incentives choke the life out of every argument for game improvements that is not bounded in optimizing the “revenue stream.”
