Gameplay Notes:
Awkward movement and shooting. For the life of me I can't figure out how to hit a jump shot. Tapping the button fires off a quick shot which always misses. Pressing and holding the button causes a long animation to play, and it also always results in a missed shot. I can't win. The only way to score is to drive or pass to the hole and make a point blank shot. Even then you're more likely to have the ball stolen or blocked. Oh and did I mention that passing is done with the same button as shooting? The II button inexplicably is used only to pick up the ball and pump fake. So half the time you want to pass you wind up firing up a quick shot from distance. So annoying. Defense isn't much better. Neither button seems to do anything so just try to stay in front of your opponent and hope they miss their shot.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Exhibition and season. Has a unique feature where you can pick a play when transitioning from one side of the court to the other. I can make it work to my advantage but this is a nice attempt to do something unique.
