I think the negative reviews are coming from people comparing this to NBA Street Vol. 2 or because it's currently online-only. Honestly... I get it. That's what I thought I was buying too. That said, NBA The Run is its own game, it's way more technical than Street Vol. 2 was and I believe it has its own vibe going on. The movement is exactly how they advertised it; straight butter. Once you get the control down and play kinda like a real-life 3V3, everything clicks. Crossovers, give-and-gos, and step-back 3s all feel incredibly satisfying. (hit em with a Taunt after a bucket to increase competitiveness lol) My biggest complaints are the collision system and (for now) no ranked matchmaking. Sometimes you'll run into your own teammate, get launched into the backboard going for a rebound, or wonder if your teammates are playing with their controller upside down. 😂 I was disappointed about the online-only launch, but seeing the devs announced ranked in August, a campaign mode in 2027, and more players gives me hope. They actually want this game to be as good as it could be. Bobbito as the MC? Straight nostalgia. The soundtrack? lovin it. (Also... why'd y'all nerf the block sound…3 found this helpful
So stupid and they should call it no PASS THE RUN1 found this helpful
To the dev team: If you want the game to be successful, you should probably work on the fact that solo queues can get matched up against stacks of ppl who do nothing but have time to play this 24/7. Some People cant always find a stack when they get on so as a fix, if you solo queue, match up with others who are as well. Nobody wants to get stomped out by a stack and have teammates who literally dont know how to play. also implement a ranked system could help. Also the game is inaccurate when it comes to loose balls, would like a fix with that as well. If we are forced to play with bots when ppl leave the game, create bots that are actually helpful as well and not just a placeholder.
Game is too fast, timing is also bad especially in defense. not really recommended. i actually requested for refund
Basketball
NICE GAME TO PLAY BUT IT COULD BE BETTER
