Matches are presented from a broadcast-style angled court view, with players controlling passing, shooting, driving, stealing, blocking, and rebounding. On offense, the goal is to create open looks before the shot clock expires, while defense emphasizes positioning, shot contests, and boxing out. Season mode tracks standings and results over multiple games, and Playoffs uses a bracket structure to determine the champion.

Use passing and simple screens to create open shots instead of forcing contested attempts. On defense, protect the paint and secure rebounds to limit second-chance points. In Season mode, rotate players to preserve stamina for later games and playoff runs.

Tips and tricks

Work the ball inside when the defense collapses, then kick it out for an open jumper.

Tips and tricks

Rebounding matters a lot, so box out early and position your big men well.

Tips and tricks

If you have the lead late, slow the tempo and reduce turnovers.
