About Basketball Legends 2020

It's safe to say that the average person doesn't know much about basketball, but we can appreciate the rules of the game. Even someone who has never seen or played basketball can start having fun quickly with a basketball video game. The rules are easy to figure out with or without training and even if you don't know them, you can enjoy the player proportions and the chaos of players running up and down the court chasing after the ball just for the chance to toss it into the basket. Like many sports movies will tell you, it's all about the game.

How to Play

Basketball Legends is designed in a way that you can play alongside another person and control multiple players. The controls are regulated to opposite sides of the keyboard to handle all the necessary actions.

In every type of game, the goal is to score more baskets than the other team before the timer runs out. You can shoot the ball while jumping or from the ground. The pump and block are used to protect the ball and stop players from advancing, respectively. Use the steal action to try and take the ball from opposing players. Lastly, each player has an ability known as a Supershot that has offensive or defensive effects and needs to recharge between uses.

Tips and Tricks

The players move at a good pace but some of the movement can be a bit rigid so practice on your own or with someone else to get a feel for the effects. This is also helpful for getting a sense of range and collision so that you know how to use the steal effectively. Also, be sure to jump after the ball is in the air for a better chance to block and receive.
