The Game of the Game: 3 Basketball-Themed Games you can Play on the Go

May 30, 2017

Today, sports are among the most popular form of entertainment. For those not practicing them, of course – for the athletes, they are a mix of hard work, training, sweat and expertise. Sports are followed by billions worldwide, live and through modern media channels like television and the internet – it’s needless to say they have left their mark on many aspects of popular culture. Among them, video games – especially those we play on our smartphones. Today, let us take a look at some of the most entertaining mobile games inspired by or paying tribute to basketball.

Basketball Star

Basketball Star is perhaps the simplest game of them all – it’s a slot machine you can try at https://www.allslotscasino.com/. Slot machines are very easy to play since all you need to do is feed them with credits (virtual or otherwise), spin their reels, and wait for them to stop at a favorable combination. The All Slots – as its name suggests – has one of the largest collections of slot machines. And Basketball Star is one of the most-played one of them all.

Basketball Star, as most similar All Slots games, doesn’t feature or focus on an individual team. Instead, it pays a tribute to the sport as a whole, offering basketball fans the opportunity to stay entertained and perhaps win in a game inspired by their favorite sport.

NBA 2K17

Electronic Arts is the undisputed authority when it comes to sports simulators, on any device and any platform. EA covers most major international sports tournaments, including the NBA. With last year’s release, EA has created one of the best sports simulators for smartphones, and with NBA 2K17, it has gone one step further.

NBA 2K17 is as realistic as a mobile game can be. Despite its name, it also covers EuroLeague, with more players and teams added to its roster. It includes an extended career mode, historic players, and many other goodies for basketball fans all over the world.

Available for iOS and Android, free with in-app purchases.

Basketball Battle

When it comes to “serious” basketball games, EA has all bases covered. On the playful side, though, they are enough basketball-inspired games available to fill days, even weeks of non-stop playing. One of them, Basketball Battle, offers its players amazing one-on-one basketball action without the pretentious graphics of an EA title. Its visuals are simple and funny, and its action is surprisingly addictive.

The game was released both for Android and iOS. It’s free to play, yet it features ads and offers in-app purchases, too.
