Idle Basketball Arena Tycoon Reviews

The game was great until their latest update. I went having a nearly maxed out team power to rock bottom over night. Their inclusion of player cards instead of buying players with in game money has broke has turned the game into win play to win over night. They could have at least given us players with a lot power the resources needed to maintain what we had. Instead I went from enough power to own everything to enough power to buy the very first house available and nothing more. That is ridiculous and they need to fix their system. Another thing is requiring a completely new resource to upgrade the gym all of a sudden. And it’s a hard resource to obtain. I had a maxed out gym and now I can’t even upgrade a new basketball hoop past level 3. Have the developers bumped their head? I’m out until they fix it.

The 2 last cities have said “coming soon” for a long time now I have nothing else to do in game and can’t complete the daily tasks for free gems. I have purchased all highest players but have a max of 11 players. Everything in the arena is maxed out, all locations on the map maxed out, budget maxed out at like 5billion. All teams up to SSS maxed out. I have like 3billion in coins just accumulating now for no reason. I’ve stopped logging in to get free gems now. How has there been no update in like 3 months now?

This most recent update killed it with the addition of needing stars to upgrade. Now I keep getting the message about losing rent cause the items aren’t at the right level. Well, can’t upgrade cause I don’t have enough nor do I generate enough stars. As one who has spent money on this game, it’s extremely disappointing. I believe this is the bus stop where I get off. Game is no longer fun.

I had everything maxed out and was working on getting players leveled up. When the update happened it froze my game and crashed so many times. When the game finally worked it restarted and reset everything I had. Pretty bad, emailed to see if I could get my rank and status back but they never replied. Bad game developers don’t care, all the time you spend on this game all done because of an update.

Don’t waste your time downloading this. It’s a cash grab with no end game. It progresses easily in the beginning then actually becomes impossible to do anything later on without spending money on diamonds. All the cities are not unlocked. You can’t upgrade anything without experience which takes days even weeks to accumulate. Last available city purchase takes 250 levels of exhibition games which is again impossible to achieve to unlock.

1. This is definitely a “AD” game, meaning if you want to progress you have to watch AD.

2. Game Balance is really questionable especially the “Stars Of Faith”. I been hard stuck at a certain level because I need these points to upgrade one basketball hoop or one bathroom stall or even a water dispenser because you needed 50K Star of faith and you don’t get that much at all you get it by competing these lvs with the players you have and getting the players is as you know it, you mainly have to buy with gems witch cost money or watch a bunch of ads and those ads will only get you low lv players.

if a dev is watching this please maybe consider balancing the Star of Faith upgrade requirement at tier 5 or try to make players easier to get, maybe doing certain quests to get so we can have a chance at getting Star of faith because my team is hard stuck. Thank you

4/2/24 Update

I shouldn’t have to wait 10 hours to gain enough credits to upgrade a single basketball hoop while in the process of logging in every hour to start another commercial. Why did all of a sudden you’re requiring another thing besides money to upgrade. Takes forever just to get to a point to where you have the cash. Not to mention the countless ads it takes to get to the cash level. There are some better things, but that is dumb. If I have 10 million cash, I shouldn’t need 1.5 million star things to upgrade 3 basketball hoops. 1 upgrade a day? Just a dumb concept.

Ads are out of control. I had to click out of an ad 4 times, it lasted more than 3 minutes, and when it was done it didn’t give me the reward promised. And most ads don’t offer a reward, it’s just the cost of playing. The game has other problems too, it’s not balanced. You’re always low on cash and low on purple diamonds and there is no good way to accumulate the wealth you need to progress without buying help. There is a lot that’s good in the game, but this developer and apple’s greed ruined it. I’d pay a single price to download it, but it’s just ridiculous that they think this is a good experience as it is now. Don’t download this.

This game started off fun, but you have to watch too many ads first off. Then they recently made a change where you have to earn these stars and have them if you want to upgrade facilities. The only way you can earn them is to do team challenges and the only way to progress in team challenges is to get new players by watching tons of ads.

So to upgrade your plant is going to cost you 50k of these stars. You have 4 plants per court. You have 8 courts…. Do the math.

And you only get a few thousand from the challenges and that’s if you can get enough player cards.

So you reach a point where you need like 20 something cards per player to upgrade them, to win a challenge, to get a star to upgrade a plant?

Yeah this game is unplayable now

If you’re a basketball fan you’re gonna wanna download IdleBasketballArenaTycoon. It’s fun for the first two days and then you realize it turns into just watching 1 minute ads in order to complete the base objectives of the game everytime you log back in. It’s an ad-based game and it costs like $17 to get rid of ads. Overall a great game with a good concept but obviously created by people who are just money hungry and fill their game with so many ads it becomes impossible to have fun and play.

I was enjoying this game until the new update that changed all the room upgrades. Having to click to upgrade TEN levels instead of ONE is excessive and costs way too much money. I don’t even want to play anymore - there is too much going on and you can’t even accomplish any of the tasks with one login.

It’s virtually ALL watching ads. After the short honeymoon phase all new games give you, to get anything done, you’ve got to watch ad after ad after ad. 75% of the time you’re playing, you’re watching ads. Not only that, when you contract teams to play on your courts for money, the teams available are not suited to the court your looking to contract them for. So, you have to leave courts empty until the game allows you to find a suitable team. Until then, you’re left watching countless ads, trying to refresh the team list.

Again, this game is 75% watching ads instead of killing time and having fun.

I love this game, however, it becomes way too difficult to get stars of faith. I purchased the no ads pack and I feel like I wasted my money. It’s impossible to level my players up fast enough to win enough challenges to get the stars I need. Challenges are the only real way to get significant numbers of stars. The more you upgrade in the arena the more stars you need. At the level I’m on, every single object that I upgrade needs 50k stars. No way to win challenges unless I consistently purchase high level chests to help with player upgrades. Love the game but there should be easier ways to earn stars of faith. The game gets useless eventually unless you’re willing to keep spending money over and over.

Dude I understand yall tryna make your money but making us watch 80 sec ads without timers or watch the same ad OVER AND OVER AND OVER again is kinda annoying I like the game but the ads are mad annoying and it makes me just close out IdleBasketballArenaTycoon

It’s a very fun game and I love playing on it. But it needs some improvements. We continually have to watch ads to win something and for the sponsor. It would also be nice if we had a task list which gives us the things to do. Maybe if you could also make the prices less that would be awesome. If you read this thank you for asking for my opinion and have a nice day.

The game is fun and is better than most idle games. Issue is you get stuck at a point because the final 3 cities don’t unlock. It doesn’t give you a level you unlock them at or any requirements to unlock. My team is the strongest is can be now but I still am ranked 20th and I can’t buy better players yet.

I enjoy the game, but you get to a point where there’s nothing you can do. Last 3 cities are blocked and you can’t upgrade your players or your team. Would love an update. Any comment from the devs on when is it happening? There’s no point to continue playing for me without an update

OK, so all I want differently in this game is whenever players use the restroom I would like for them to actually wash their hands because what’s the point of getting a sink and paying for it when they don’t even wash their hands after using the restroom? 🚽

I would also give it 5 stars, but I reached a point where I don’t know what to do. I have purchased almost everything (without Gems) and virtually stuck. Just sitting here making money for no goal to achieve. Please fix it.

this game is just wonderful i played for 98 hours striaght i lost my streak and let it out i was so excited when michoels jordan came. This game is radical
