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.

Great core gameplay. Still some bits that are missing but Devs previously have been listening to the players so I would expect to see things like single player, licensed music and VC to come soon. Things id like to see: - Ultra wide support. A lot of the time I cant see the ball on the screen so id like to utilise my ultrawide to combat that issue - Motion blur removal - Dribble move chaining being more fluid would be cool to see - Different dribble moves for different players, or purchasable dribble moves in the shop - More rewards for winning tournaments - More game mode options, quick play for when I don't want to be locked into 3 games at a time - Press Play > Get into game with team mates > Choose your player screen. This would help combat going against 3 Wemby's when searching with randoms - If I lose a game with randoms, I dont want to be put back in a lobby with said randoms. If I want to invite someone from the last game let me do it from the menu. I dont want to have to leave the party to requeue every time - Maybe some more cosmetics other than just NBA jerseys and shorts for players. Not as excessive as 2k with robots and skeletons etc, but some cool realistic street outfits to see NBA players in would be nice. Other than that, this is a really fun game, breaking ankles is fun, dunking on people is fun, shooting feels nice, so far there's nothing too annoying. IMO way more fun than 2K. Worth £25. Lots of fun to play with friends. PS. Devs seem to care. THERES NO MICROTRANSACTIONS THAT SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES IN THIS DAY AND AGE!

First off, I want to give a shoutout to Play By Play for even taking a risk to make this game. Modernity allows us to simply emulate every EA Big era game, but EA doesn't appear interested in bringing those games to modern standards or platforms. So, I'm always happy to see indie devs pick up EA's slack. NBA The Run in its current form is a foundation for a modern NBA Street game. Style moves, high flying dunks, and a Gamebreaker-like ability are all present. Launch is clearly more focused on making sure the core streetball gameplay is great and the revolving match types keep each tournament run fresh. That being said, there are definitely a lot of modern features missing that I suspect will come later. Certainly the calls for an offline mode, licensed music, voice chat, and even a career mode are all legitimate suggestions from the player base. But, understanding the circumstances of the size of the dev team, their attendance to player feedback, and overall passion about having a game like this existing on the market again, I'm not worried about NBA The Run not living up to the potential it has that every one of its players can see.
