NBA 2K Mobile Basketball is the newest addition to the NBA 2K franchise. 2K Sports have created a free mobile version of their renowned NBA 2K series, named after NBA 2K Mobile Basketball. The app is completely free to play and is currently available on iOS devices while a pre-registration is available for the Android users . NBA 2K Mobile Basketball is a game that sticks in collecting NBA player cards in order to build your fantasy team. This is known as MyTeam and essentially is the game’s core feature. As you create your team’s lineup of players, that will be the roster that you’ll be using in each and every one of your matches, regardless of the mode in which you’ll be playing. The game features over 400 cards of your favorite NBA players and all-stars from which you’ll be able to build your dream team of players from past and present. Collect your favorite NBA players to build your desired team and then step onto the court like you’ve never tried before in a mobile basketball game. The game is concentrated on two main modes separated in Seasons and Leagues. Seasons is the standard mode where you play a fixed number of matches against the CPU. There’s a number of rewards that can be earned by finishing a season, such as a new player card, a new equipment piece that you can add to your existing player to boost his stats, or a collectible that you can use in the game’s store. Meanwhile Leagues is the mode where you take on other players online. This mode is based on a ranked system which means that the game will pair you up against opponents whose team score is comparable to yours, which means that you will never face an all-star team if you have a bunch of rookies or regular players on your roster. Both the matchmaking and loading times are impressively quick, so you’ll be in and out of online matches in no time. Another mode that you can play, is called Drills. As its name suggests, this is a mode where you can practice with a specific player on your team in order to increase his abilities. This mode is updated on a daily basis, so you’ll be able to work on a different position on your roster every day. Completing these drills, as well as being successful in other modes, will reward you with draft picks. This is like a lottery mini-game where you select a face-down card which can be either a brand new player, a collectible or an attribute boost.
Regarding the gameplay itself, on the left hand side of the screen you have a virtual analogue stick that allows you to move your player just like you would with a regular controller. If you’re on offense, the right hand side will present you with two buttons: Pass and Shoot. In order to pass the ball, you just have to press the pass button and the player you’re controlling will instantly pass the ball to the player he’s facing at that moment. The shooting system is identical to that of NBA 2K games on consoles and PC. You hold the shoot button until the shot meter goes all the way up and you release it before it starts going down, otherwise you will miss your shot. If you’ve played NBA 2K19 or 18, you will be familiar with the way this system works. It’s all about perfect timing and knowing whenever to take your shots. If by any chance you get stuck to a certain point in the game, you can freely rely on our video gameplay and walkthrough for the game:
