Mobile basketball games

Postby Ermolli on Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:58 pm

Does anyone play basketball games on Android phones? Are there any recommended games in the Google Play store? The one I've been playing lately is Hoop League which has an interesting concept since it doesn't have traditional gameplay. I don't care for online and I'm not really interesting in playing card-collecting games like NBA Live and 2K have, dislike that neither have an option to play with traditional teams.

I'm not a big fan of basketball games on mobile, but the mobile version of NBA Jam by EA was decent. It wasn't as good as OFE, but no mobile port was going to be, and it's still pretty good given the limitations of the platform. It's still available too, from the looks of things.

I agree, it isn't the same as the OFE on consoles but it's quite good. I was trying to find a 5 on 5 game but there aren't many options, mainly online 3 on 3. I played NBA Live but it's the same exact game gameplay-wise as its launch (which I played frequently back then). I downloaded NBA 2K mobile but it never loaded on my Xiaomi Redmi 8 even though it did work years ago.

I should also note that I don't have a tablet of any kind, so any mobile games that I play are being played on a mobile phone. I imagine some of them would be more enjoyable on a slightly bigger screen, though as you said, there aren't a lot of choices when it comes to 5v5 games. Then again, that goes for the PC/console space, too.

Hey! I'm the developer of Hoop League :D

I'm actually working on a new hoops title called Hoop Land that will be similar to Hoop League except it will have real-time traditional gameplay. Check out a short snippet of early gameplay mechanics below:

I plan on releasing the game in 2023 but there will be a beta some time this year. I also hope to release Hoop Land on Steam after mobile release.

Hi. I remember playing Basketball Time in 2015! It's been a while, had fun with it and enjoying Race mode.
Congratulations on Hoop League Tactics. I've seen it recommended in several sites and quite well ranked in the app stores.
Good luck with the new game. Looks good early on.

As a big fan of the names in Super Dunk Shot, I love what you've done there!

I had not heard of that game, that's awesome! Those names and logos are amazing lol. I already have all 30 names picked out, just in the process of creating all the courts, logos, and uniforms.

For the players, I'll be taking submissions from fans and then have the cpu run a full fantasy draft to construct the base rosters.

It's the Japanese version of Sculptured Software's NCAA Basketball for the SNES. Essentially a bootleg NBA game, which makes an already awesome release (then and now) even more fun!

Great idea with the fan submissions and fantasy draft, too.

Lol, love the bootleg NBA description. I already consider Hoop Land to be an alternate NBA universe :mrgreen:
