Our Expert Score
Mini Basketball is a fantastic 'pick-up-and-play' sports game that prioritizes fun and accessibility over complex simulation. Developed by Miniclip, it features a charming, big-headed art style and controls that are incredibly easy to learn but difficult to master.
The game thrives on its progression system. You start with a basic squad and slowly build a powerhouse team by winning player packs and upgrading stats. The competitive element is well-integrated through a tiered league system, giving you a constant reason to improve. It’s the perfect basketball game for someone who wants the excitement of a 3-pointer and a slam dunk without having to memorize complex button combos.

This game is a complete and utter JOKE
Wed May 31 2023 bigdon2020To say this game is completely unfair is completely an understatement. Yet another example of inclusive nonsense. Just have anybody in the world play anybody at any time no matter what their skill rating. That is the dumbest thing ever I’ve ever heard, this isn’t the NBA. I’ve worked so hard to get up to level 258 and they keep putting me up against players that are in the 300s with their overall rating. I don’t think that’s fair. You should be able to have a gauge to let you play who YOU WANT. It’s your game, if you want to win or if you want to make it harder to get better it’s on you. I keep playing all these clowns and I work my tail off to win and these people just walk down the court and shoot three’s like it’s nothing at the end of the game. That’s not fair. I should be able to build a lead before halftime and be comfortable. This shot for shot for shot back-and-forth nonsense is ridiculous. Even when I play on the easiest level the block they still put me up against opponents that have high overall ratings. I’m probably gonna delete this game soon, and I would not recommend it to anybody else. 👌🏻stars! One star would be a compliment.
Great gameplay but insulting store
Tue Apr 12 2022 Hype??First of all the game is just really fun. Offense can be incredible and you can even think up and run your own plays and the game rewards you for doing so. Defense needs a lot of work but it’s fine for now. My big issue is with the store and specifically the battle pass. It costs 15 dollars and the grand prizes are 4 chefs (curry) and 5 powermans (AD). That’s important because you need duplicates to upgrade players. The first upgrade only takes two players but the second takes 4 more. So this means that if you spend $15 on this mobile game, you get to upgrade these players 1 time and then have leftovers which are completely useless and the team behind this game must have known they were useless when they made it. What makes this worse is that the overalls of the players is too low to even be good. I’ve only been playing the game for 3 weeks and I couldn’t add either of the players to my team. They also sell legendary players in the shop occasionally but it’s only 1 player and it’s not the same ones from the battle pass. So it’s useless for anyone who’s actually playing the game for any extended period of time. If any of the developers are reading this, I am absolutely willing to spend money on this game because it’s super fun. However you have got to make it worth it. Make the legendary players start out at least as 50 overalls instead of 30. Im sure plenty of other people would want to buy these players if they were actually good as well.
Fun Game: minor tweaks needed
Mon Mar 14 2022 DJLakersfanI really enjoy this game; I wish there were an option for longer games (there may be, but I’m still building my profile), but it’s been good so far. The ads aren’t too imposing like so many games, so thank you for that. I’m no programmer, but I feel a handful of tweaks would go a long way towards an even better gaming experience. First, I’d like an option to drop players that I don’t want or need; my bench is full of guys I have no need for, since you need to use coins to upgrade them to keep up with the competition. Being able to reinvest the value for those unneeded players is a far better choice. I also wish turnovers were so prevalent when the opposition doesn’t earn them. I don’t have enough control over where the ball goes and have noticed oftentimes when passing the defender simply steals the ball based on their position on the court. Lastly, when stealing the ball I end up taking a 3/4 court shot because the defense button is also the shoot button. I’m not sure what can be done, but even something as simple as a slight delay in the pass button working wound allow the player to dribble or pass the ball, rather than taking a shot they’ll never make. In close games this is maddening. Thank you for hearing me out. I look forward to enjoying your game.
Do not download this app, 90% cheaters playing this game
Fri Nov 18 2022 REVIEW OF THE TRUTHAfter the matchup I had with the opponent who’s lower power level than me, the player seems to be too hard to beat which made the game very boring and impossible to play and when I lose, it made me very upset because of the one point difference the opponent had. And when I did a rematch, the opponent seems to get very impossible to beat and even when I almost win the last minute, all I get was fouls, the opponent foul me non stop in order to have the position advantage, penalty score was also unfair, I only get 1 shot. This not only happened to me one but happened to me many times after my team reach 241 power level. Another opponent which had 221 and lower level than me was too fast to beat, I don’t even understand at all, the Post players on the opponent team seem to have more speed and agility than my team full of guard players. I think many opponents use hacks to win the whole game and the game itself doesn’t do anything about it. The worse part is that I can’t report a player for cheating because there’s isn’t any option to report. I feel like this game is not online but full of bots and AI that are programmed to cheat and hack the whole game. I won so many times against fair playing opponents but this time, I only lose because of the amount of cheaters in the game. I even tried to win a tournament but honestly I can’t win anymore because of the cheaters in the game.
Wow
Tue Mar 14 2023 Battle canpThis game is rigged for the CPU I read the reviews before I played it and everyone was saying the same thing but I thought it was just people weren’t good enough at the game. But after I played it I realized it truly is rigged. The game first starts out insanely easy but as you starts to play in harder tournaments it gets impossible. Like in a tournament the first two rounds are easy then the last round they turn into the dream team. You can’t even pass the ball more than 5 feet without it getting stolen, you can’t let the cpu come 5 feet within the ball because they will steal it instantly. You can time a shot perfect and air ball even with a character with a really high 3 point. The stats don’t even matter at all. But I’m order to steal from the CPU you have to spam steal like 20 times just to not even get the steal anyway. If you are winning by more than one possession in the finals you aren’t scoring anymore until the cpu scores first the game just won’t let you make anything. If you are gonna make steals overpowered for the cpu then make it like that for the user as well to make it fair . Game is completely rigged the only way you win is you have to getting super lucky and not give the cpu the ball back with 3 minutes left because they will somehow make it no matter what. This game had so much potential to be good. Also what’s the point of epic and rare cards if they can be a lower level than common cards it makes no sense.
Broken
Fri Aug 12 2022 Wesley. C.The concept of this game is great. I like the cards where you can obtain collectible items to customize you team and players. However, the defense is completely broken. The “other online player” seems to have a flawless and impenetrable defense and steals the ball away very easily. When my team is on defense it takes a complete miracle to steal the ball away, rebound, or intercept a pass. I’ve watched replays of my players literally run their entire body through the ball while seeing them react to me pressing the “defense” button and the ball is not turned over. I get it’s a cartoon game that’s unrealistic but at least make the turnovers consistent for both sides. The shooting also makes little to no sense. My best shooter will be wide open on the three point line and I will shoot the ball perfectly but he’ll still miss. Sometimes I’ll be near the half court line and shoot in the yellow and make it. Same with dunking and layups. I can see every now and then missing a three point shot even if it’s “in the green” but, missing a layup that’s in the green ? That makes little to no sense even for a cartoon basketball game. These small fixed to this game would easily make it a 5 star contender on the App Store. Make it consistent on offense and defense for both teams.
Very bad defense and offense mechanics but a good game
Tue Mar 15 2022 PîèrrēThis is a great game besides the gameplay. The layout of this game looks awsome and I enjoy upgrading my players but the problem is the actual gameplay. The game is almost entirely luck. Because of the AI it’s very hard to get inside shots when the defense is setup so you are forced to take many deep threes which often have a 42% chance to go in. On game you could score 6 points and other games you score 38. Very inconsistent which is not good for this type of competitive game. Another issue is the defense while the opponents AI is able to steal passing lanes and easily reach and poke you, your user is stuck with the inability to steal the ball before half court and the inability to get in front of a pass that you know the AI is going to make. This is the most frustrating thing about this game to me. Scoring 6 points on offense is fine but if I have the inability to play defense it becomes a huge deal and results in losing games. The blocking mechanisms also need to be reworked. It is very difficult to block a baseline shot because of the angle of the camera. That being said this game is enjoyable and a good game for a short time but if you play to play it a lot you will get frustrated over time.
Bad game, full of luck and gameplay is trash
Fri Mar 25 2022 Squirrel_squadOk, for starters I love this game company and I was incredibly disappointed when I played this game for the first time, the season pass is so ridiculously expensive and whenever you want to steal the ball or play defense you cannot, you either spam the defense and nothing happens or when you jump to block it you are a mile off. Also I’ve noticed whenever you switch players it just brings you to the one closest to the ball and on paper that sounds fine but if the ball is moving away from that player, you cannot reach it and the one guy open on the side will not go for it because the ai does nothing, also everybody you play against is a bot/ai so this finding a match is just stupid. Lastly I would like to talk about shooting, WHO CAME UP WITH THIS????? Even if you get perfect timing wide open 3 pointer there is still a 40-30% chance you miss, also they miss the rim way too often, even if you time it almost perfectly they can miss the rim and it’s the opponents ball. Ok, now this is it, if you win a free dunk or whatever it’s called to win a prize, wait for your daily one first because after you use the one you got from the pass, the timer starts over. So this game is very disappointing and hard to play/teach.
