Basketball Stars Gameplay Highlights

Basketball Stars lets you choose to play in 1v1 and 2v2 matches in both single-player and 2-player modes. Whichever mode you select, the ultimate goal is the same: Compete head-to-head to earn more points than your opponent before time runs out.

Here’s a deeper look at the gameplay:

Three mode options: 1 Player, 2 Players, and Quick Match.

• In 1 Player mode, you can choose to play in a 1v1 or 2v2 tournament, 1v1 or 2v2 random match, or training session.
• In the 2-player option, choose to collaborate to compete against your friend locally on the same keyboard in 1v1 or 2v2 matches.
• Looking for a quick game against the CPU? Just choose the Quick Match mode.

Various players to choose from, each with different special shots and unique skills. It’s always easy to select the player of your preference before the game really starts.

Simple controls. Use keyboard keys to move, shoot, block, steal, or dunk, whether you opt for 1- or 2-player mode. For sure, it’s easy to pick up but often takes skill to master.

How to Play Like a Pro

In a Basketball Stars match, you need to play alternately between offense and defense. The goal is to sink the most baskets possible and outscore the opponent.

Jump, shoot, and dash wisely. You can jump and unleash a shot from anywhere on the court. Move and aim accurately, then shoot the hoops to earn points. Use the dash when needed to get past the opponent before you shoot the ball.

Block shots. Blocking your opponent’s shots and stealing the ball are important, too. Anticipate your opponent’s move and don’t let them shoot the hoops easily, since this can be the quickest way to lose the match.

Use the player’s special skills to gain an edge. Each player has unique skills or abilities, such as high-flying mega dunks. Use them strategically to win an edge in decisive moments.
