How To Play Basketball Legends 2020

Move without the ball

If you stand still they will deny the passing lane.

Shoot on the gather

Waiting for a perfect window is how you get stripped.

Switch on a drive

Help early. Help late is a dunk.

Gameplay Experience

One ball, a hoop, a clock

You are not calling a playbook. You are beating the person in front of you.

Contact is part of it

A late jump into their body is a miss, not a foul call you will get.

Short games

You can play again immediately. That is how you learn the release.

Gameplay Mechanics

Move + steal + shoot

Those three actions are most of the roster.

Release window

The shot is a timing bar or a button. Either way, late is a brick.

Specials

If there is a dunk meter or a three-point line, use it when you actually have space.

Tips & Strategies

  • 01

    Get square to the rim

    Sideways fadeaways are for when you are already open.

  • 02

    Steal on the catch, not on the dribble spam

    A reach on a standing ball is cleaner than a reach in traffic.

  • 03

    Do not chuck from half court after one miss

    The next possession is shorter if you take the mid-range.

  • 04

    If they only drive, sit in the paint

    Give the three if they cannot shoot it.
