The gameplay of this game is widely criticized for being overpriced and lacking realism, despite some updates. Additionally, the absence of a Steam Workshop further detracts from the overall experience.
“This game is very much overpriced in terms of its current gameplay.”
“There were some updates done, but still, the gameplay and realism of this game are lacking, plus there's no Steam Workshop for it.”

The graphics, even in 3D mode, are considered subpar compared to other platforms like PlayStation, as the game prioritizes off-court elements over visual fidelity. While there is a component for calling plays, the overall graphical quality does not meet the expectations set by more advanced gaming systems.
“The graphics, even in 3D mode, do not compare to PlayStation titles. The focus of this game is what happens off the court, although there is a part of the game for calling plays that you need to beat strong teams.”
