About Basketball Legends
Basketball Legends 2020 is an exhilarating 2-player basketball experience that promises to deliver hours of fun. Step onto the court, select your favorite team, and face off against the CPU in a challenging tournament, or engage in quick matches against your best friend. The choice is yours as you navigate the intense competition. As you control your player, execute breathtaking dunks
The genre lives on skill-based timing, quick matches and familiar rules. Basketball Legends understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. The skills it leans on are aim and anticipation; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Because this is a Basketball game, release at the top of the jump.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
