r/Basketball

Okay so i have been playing for 3 months now and tomorrow is first ever official match in school
though i have played matches before among friends (that’s mainly how i learned) but I am super super nervous about tomorrow
only me and one other guy (he da best) knows how to play , others are just useless

I doo not wanna be useless tomorrow
look i can shoot 3s , mid range , no layups
i am 5’11
dribbling is somewhat there
just anything is good

also tell me everything i should take with me to school

Is anyone else fed up with the unseriousness of this league? How does a player join a different team in the final two weeks of the season? And then that team makes the playoffs? What a joke! And awarding the same person MVP 5 times? Hey, how about a rule that same person cannot win 2 years in a row! Sometimes I wonder why I watch…

Just about to launch new app around NBA teams. Looking for some team fanatics to help test it. Dm if keen.

Imagine a basketball game you buy once, with new stories and updates instead of having to purchase another game every year. You still get player builds, customization, theatrics, different game modes, and your own crews.
Here’s the concept:
Active cheat detection during every game. Instead of relying only on reports, confirmed cheaters would be removed from the match and placed in “bad sport” lobbies with other confirmed cheaters. There would need to be a way to appeal mistakes.
More realistic basketball. Shooting range and consistency would reflect player ability, with deep shots balanced around how difficult they are in real basketball.
Create your own shooting motion. Think of a feature similar to face scanning, but for capturing your shot.
A fresh start each season. You create a new build and progress again within the same game.
Optional purchases. Credits could boost your chosen attributes, with clothes and other customization available to buy.
A new story each year, delivered within the existing game.
This is an early concept, and I want honest feedback from people who actually play.
What would make you try it? What would make you stay? And which of these ideas would turn you away?
