I normally don't post reviews, and even though this game feels unfinished, this is THE ABSOLUTE BEST VR GAME IN ITS CLASS!!!!! I've been faithful to VR for 3 year. I've owned gear VR, rift cv1, s, quest, and now ordering a pimax 8k+. I just want to say to you...
IF YOU ARE INTO BASKETBALL, PLEASE GET THIS GAME, SO THAT WE CAN PLAY TOGETHER!!!!
thank you

it's fun to play, good mechanics. it's worth buying but only if you know it feels like a tech demo, and you're making an investment that maybe it will be good one day. i mean, for 10 bucks it's worth a couple hours of fun. but there's a lot of problems.
defense is impossible. the movement needs to be reworked to be slower, it's like trying to defend a basketball player who can strafe on a dime like quake.
the ball has no physics off the hoop. none. it drops like a rock. and 9/10 times you will kick it out of bounds or let it roll out of bounds because no matter how hard you try you will not pick the ball up off the ground.
this is easily the worst feature: the ball doesn't bounce (which makes rebounds and loose balls weird af) and you cannot pick up the ball off the ground
the netcode is terrible, playing with any ping difference is really bad. the host is fine but connecting to someone elses game feels awful.
being left handed sucks pretty bad too, the controls are not rebindable, so it's almost impossible to move and dribble at the same time. i also find it a lot harder to dribble with the left hand regardless, i make the motion and it just doesn't happen. totally fine on the right hand.
and there's all the general controller glitches and softlocks that come with being a vr early access game.
even though i just said all those negative things about it, overall, i have to recommend it right now because it's fun with a friend to shoot around and try to pass to each other. hopefully development is going to continue to fix the netcode and rework the movement. the game has a ton of potential. if it's the last 10 dollars you have, hold onto it, but if you've got 10 to spend (and lets be honest, you play vr, you do) it's fun for a while to do your best slam dunk contest impression.

I really enjoy playing this game and prefer this over Gym Class. But there are a couple reasons why I can't play it for long.
1. The community is dead. There are barely anyone on and when there is, it's usually friends who don't want any part with you
2. The servers are bad. I know that it's early access but even if the shot assist is at 10 and I'm not in my own server, I almost always miss and it doesn't feel natural when I release the ball
3. Sprinting is way too fast. I've logged many hours into VR and this almost makes me vomit.
4. What happened to updates? I don't know why but we haven't gotten a new update since June of last year.
Overall, I think it's a good game but it just needs more attention from the developers.

Not great compared to others. However, this is the only VR basketball game that i know of that offers an actual single player experience with an AI you can play against with different levels of difficulties and assists

Basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court
Just like I'm the king on the microphone
So is Dr. J and Moses Malone
I like slam dunks, take me to the hoop
My favorite play is the alley-oop
I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go
'Cause it's basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow

10/10 this game has a great feel to it but I do say it would be nice to have dribble moves or make It easier to grab the ball after letting go of it.
