About Basketball School

Arcade mode gives you 10 balls to use; you must continue to score baskets although it becomes harder each time you score. Time attack mode
What makes a good sports game? Usually tournaments, leagues or challenges, skill-based timing and a strong sense of momentum — and Basketball School has each of them in some measure. Playing it works your aim and rhythm, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- Because this is a Basketball game, release at the top of the jump.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
