This game is very fun to play. The 3v3 arcade streetball feel is so nice. So much better game than that cash grab nba 2k26. Only downside is if you play with players who dont pass the ball. Great game but i think they need to add couch co-op and Ranked gameplay to NBA the run to give it good longevity. DONT buy the DELUXE editon you can grind and get the rookie players for free not worth that extra 10 bucks Buy the game its so good i promise you man
It's base level fun. I was ohhhh sooo hoping for more with this game. lack of single player experience is hurting it. wouldve loved a mode where I make my own player and climb through the ranks. kind of like NBA street. Really makes you wonder why the game was made in the first place. why make a game with so little to actaully do? Spamming tournements whether solo, with randoms, or your own sqaud is all this game has to offer. why didnt they do more with this? why tell me its going to feed my NBA Street desire, but instead, be an almost exact rip of 3v3 freestyle? even in saying that, there is more to do and fulfill in 3v3 freestyle then in this game. now, apart from the obvious all-around notion that this game is incredibly undercooked, absolutely true btw. it just brings me back to todays state of videogames. It's not about anything other than, "lets capitalize on hype, and get as much peoples money as possible, because that is what measures success" Where as in the past, it was about "lets give the people something that they will never forget, and will want to spend countless hours enjoying. lets make something alive, and with heart" games just aint what they used to be. still giving it a thumbs up because I love basketball and am still having fun playing this game. although there is so much damn missed potential with this title. thanks for reading
