Critic Reviews for NBA BOUNCE
The gameplay and scope of the modes never elevates that far past competency, though. I left this game wanting a little bit more out of it, but I had a fun time playing it while the fun lasted. With the right local crowd, this could be a recurring arcade sports game, but outside of that, this is a sixth man of a basketball game - it's a good complement more so than the main attraction.
NBA Bounce easily fills a gap in the current market for sports games less committed to the realism that dominates the genre's major brands. Even with a clear lack of long-term content, it's charismatic, charming, and easily assimilated by players of all skill levels, favoring silly fun over immersion.

With its charming player models and fast-paced 3v3 matches with simplified mechanics, NBA Bounce offers a fun take on basketball that's suitable for all ages and skill levels. It's not quite as exciting to play as it could be, however, and a lack of online multiplayer will be disappointing to some.
NBA BOUNCE is a super-fun and very simple basketball game that's easy to enjoy for everyone with its intuitive gameplay and cute graphics that are made even more endearing by the playable and adorable interpretations of each team's mascot; very cool! 🏀
NBA Bounce is a fun, colourful, and accessible basketball game that’s perfect for younger players or those looking for some multiplayer mayhem. Its simple controls and chaotic Party Mode make it a joy in multiplayer, and whilst it doesn’t have online play or an in-depth solo experience, playing with friends is ALWAYS a blast. The only real downside (and it’s a pretty big one) is the high price, which feels a bit steep for what’s on offer. But if you’ve got a fat wallet (or catch it at a discount), it’s well worth picking up for some light-hearted basketball fun.
A fun 'all ages welcome' pick up and play NBA title, that does away with the excess and offers a light-hearted, enjoyable enough take on basketball. It's asking price leaves a lot to be desired, mind.
What you have here is a very stripped down basketball game. It’s not detailed, doesn’t look amazing (though it runs at a phenomenal framerate), but for the intended audience, I think NBA Bounce is a pretty good entry port for newcomers and kids. What really matters is that it’s easygoing, responsive, completely devoid of microtransactions, and great to pick up and play.
