Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It has awesome graphics various charctet to unlock with channeling chapter.
Some of the ways to get the characters are borderline impossible. Fun game though.
This game is fun, easy to learn. Just a game to play on a regular basis.
THIS GAME IS SO FUN!!! We love it.
It needs a two player mode like basket ball battle so you can play with somebody next to you with out a device to play on.
We like the game and the graphics and the powers of the players we unlocked 33 characters finally but it needs more characters like if your playing for 2 months you will be bored because all the characters are the same we need 100 characters like head soccer but head soccer is more difficult than head basketball like the fight mode it takes 40 mins to finish it wow! We know right! Oh sorry now were talking about head basketball every time you face the characters there all the same so Im bored at this game we need more characters but every characters releases like 8 months or 9 months IDK but really Im begging you D&D release every character in 1 month or 2 months.
It's a fun time with good animation, but multiplayer is not working for some reason. We want to play a friendly match with our brother but it refuses to let us create a room.
Graphic is great and characters are varied compared to some years ago. However there is a bug that needs to be fixed, ability of Afero(Spain) when the opponent use ability in second form it force others use ability which is annoying.
Alright ima keep it simple, there is a bug going on (Ive only seen it in arcade but it could be in different game modes) where when Serbia or aka Vukasin would do his ground attack and go for the dunk, your game would crash instantly without a reason. Please fix.
How does the ball go flying around in super speed then it goes a hoop like what are the chances and plus no matter how we upgrade our character we just stand there and they get a free shot and if we already have a element cant we use that element.
Love the game, used to play it all the time when we were younger.
Hey D&D we absolutely love head soccer and head basketball however we feel like one of the characters in the game kind of falls flat compared to the others. Specifically Jeremy from the USA. We understand having the characters that are easier to unlock be more simplistic but we feel like you guys couldve done a ton more with his concept. His campaign story was that he got hit by an asteroid and that gave him better speed, better jumps etc. What if you cranked that concept to 11 and made Jeremy a Harlem Globetrotter-esque character. Have his ability shot be him breaking his opponents ankles with fancy movement then hitting a fade away. Have his dunk be an alley-oop to himself. (we like his counter you can keep that the same) For the next update please take our ideas into consideration as we adore this game and would like to see some live given to our favorite character.
Such a great game we just wish there were a friends system where you could spectate each other and it would be easier to play with them.
So whoever sees this will be cursed.
If you read this the owner of head basketball pls add Georgia.
Everything in the game is perfect but multiplayer, multiplayer has slow internet even if you are right next to the person you are playing with.
We have been playing this game for a couple of years on and off every now and again. We usually get back into it every time we go on a plane and need a game with no wifi. And whenever we get back into it there are new characters which are super fun and interesting. But lately it hasnt really been that way. We know it probably takes a long time to design and analyze the characters based on what country they will originate from, but it takes soooo long. We know this probably isnt the developers main job but it would really be appreciated if the updates came more frequently.
When you get to the Indian guy in the arcade the ai just beats you every time and really frustrating.
This game is really fun but very annoying at the same time, sometimes when you try to shoot your ability shot jumper it makes u dunk and Ive seen many more, this game could be great and we hope they fix the many bugs in the game. The multiplayer is trash and is in slo motion. We were in the finals of a head cup game with Jeremy and went to shoot an ability jumper and it made us dunk, it lead to a turnover and we lost the game by 1 if we had made that we would have won. This game is so annoying but so fun. The point system is horrible and sometimes counts 3s as 2s and 2s as 3s. Please fix these and we swear we will play this game til the day we die.
Love this game super fun play often but recently our game keeps crashing for no reason not allowing us to play league death tournament or anything really just super annoying please fix no other complaints.
One of funnest games from our childhood, many game modes to keep you from burnout.
Hello, we would like to inform you that our game has been bugged for a long time whenever we want to get in this game it crashes and we dont want to lose all our data and also Im playing some characters if you get hit by their superpower they crash the game and we hope you fix this issues please.
Great game but we would appreciate it if you guys added Bangladesh to the game. Thanks.
The game is awesome and we love it the gameplay and everything except the high expectations on unlocking characters for example: yadrid he is unlocked by Winning the super star league without swinging or loosing a single match and its super hard for some people to do especially with the computer system being really hard to beat but yes it is a awesome game and it pretty hard to beat on our top tierlist.
Hey, Ive been playing this game for a while, Ive played it for about 4 years, and we just would like to mention that Im so sad about a certain bug. This bug is prevalent in certain characters, but we get it the most while we play against/as Yazid. His special throws the blue orb, and when it hits our character, the game crashes and it causes us to lose when we go back to our saved game on league or head cup. We know its a lot, but could you please please please fix this? It happens with other people too, and it ruins the game for us, its a lot, but could you test which characters do this? Thanks! We love your game.
This Game Was Amazing And So Nicely.
Good Game, well made characters, and amazing mechanics.
We Adore this game just like Head soccer,but we wish for cutscenes in Head Basketball. We think it would just be better. Bye! Love u D&D Dream.
Poseidon/Neptune we know this is kinda close to Tyler but he should be somewhat like Nico where he has a trident as his hand. His dunk we think should be like blitzs dunk and he shoots water out of his trident. His other ability shot could be something like Khans but he sends starfish to grab on to you and hold you down under water, or make it so that piranhas come after you like for razvans ability or Williams ability. Just an idea and we think it would be a great addition to the game.
We were trying to save our old data for this game to the cloud storage so we saved it in the game but when we load the data the game crashed and we cant open the app anymore.
This is a great game Im only making this to tell you guys that yazid is glitched everytime he uses his head shot it kicks you from the game just letting yall know because its very annoying.
Real Gs move in silence like lasagna and this game is a real G it is an awaome game but its not that well known you guys need to promote your game to sponsee youtubers maybe.
Franchement cest un jeu trs cool et plaisant jouer! Au dbut il ya quelques difficults de prise en main, surtout pour les nophytes du genre mais au fur et mesure quon y joue on sadapte et a devient presque jouissif de pouvoir contre les shoot spciaux dadversaires qui nous submergeaient nos dbuts. Merci au dveloppeur pour cette petite ppite.
Fun game for long plane flights.
We like this game very good game there is nothing bad about this game.
Fun game! Its basic, yes, But its still an enjoyable game.
Sometimes when an enemy collides with a counter-shot, the game will crash. Other than that the game is fine.
Hella fun we wish we played this game a lot early than right now.
This game would be good with controller. But is good.
Its a good game but whenever Im in a tournament we try to counter attack but if we miss the counter attack and it hits us and then the game just closes and we cant resume the tournament at the last guy. That also happens to arcade, survival, and basically everything.
Ive been on and off this game for a few years and through the whole time ive playd Yazids been our favorite and to get him you gotta win the league without losing and all that Anyways when we go in league sometimes our game will crash in the middle of the round we guess because of all the power shots or whatever but when we load back in we lost the round 0 – 30 which is making it impossible to get our favorite character again so if you could just make it where if a game is stopped or something it just resets it or something that would be cool.
We have been playing this game for around 7 years now and it has been a great game. But recently when we play we have issues with characters Im versing. When we go against or use Yazid, Dante, Alom, and other characters that use beams in their ability shot, our game crashes when we go to block it/counter it. Also for a while if the ball goes too high in the court, we lose control of our character until the ball comes back down. These are very inconvenient for when Im trying to do a league because it will make us lose 30-00 when our game crashes or we wont be able to score when the ball goes too high.
The concept is great we like the way you unlock characters its overall pretty good. But we feel like once we get all the characters we want to unlock the game it dosent feel like theres much else to do. We feel like if the pvp mode got fixed (because if you try it the game will lag like crazy) the game will feel more fun and complete. Maybe also try a tournament with 8-16 players and if you win enough tournaments on online pvp or if you win with out swipe or something like that you could unlock a new character. We do like that they have added some new modes like head cup and death, but we feel like theres only so many game modes you can add to keep the game from feeling repetitive. We know head soccer is more popular and thats the game you guys should care about more due to its popularity but we feel like this game isnt complete atleast without a couple new characters and fixed online pvp.
Love the game but there is a really annoying bug. When ever you are in death mode you cannot use your dunk ability or else the game will kick you out.
We love everything about this game besides the comeback code its it too op and we could be up by 15 and we start missing every shot while our opponent gets their ability shot 5 times in a row please fix this.
This game is great, we like the graphics, the campaign stories, the characters and their connections with their country, and so much more. But there are a few problems that make us hate this game sometimes. There are two main problems with this game. Firstly, the glitches. It feels like every other campaign game that we play is ruined halfway through because we get kicked out of the game randomly. Ive actually had an experience where we were two seconds away from completing a campaign, but was kicked. Its so unbelievably infuriating when it happens time after time, ruining all of your progress. And its not just in campaigns. Ive seen this on multiple occasions in every single game mode. There are other glitches to be addressed such as Jeremys dunk, but Im not going to list those here. The second issue is with the League simulator things. It says that theyre determined by OVR, but Ive had COUNTLESS experiences of our character having an OVR of 71 and going against a 23 OVR character and losing OVER AND OVER. Its not just a one-off thing. We found that when we play against bots with an OVR anywhere between 20 less OVR than our character and 10 less than our character, Id only win 1/10 games, but if their OVR is ten less than our character or greater, Id have a 0% chance of winning. 0%!!!!!! IF ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BASED ON OVR, THEN ACTUALLY MAKE IT BASED ON OVR!!!!! Please devs just fix this its so annoying.
Ive been playing this game for a little and its gotten a little bland after 3 months, The game crashes a decent amount of times and we have a decent iphone 14 not like Im playing this game on a potatoe and multiplayer has never worked often times we try to play our friends and nothing works when we have good wifi.
D&D dream yall gotta stop with the purchase problems. We like this game but we purchased the limited time offer for 5$ but the next day we logged in and we did not have our points. And the the limited time offer was gone. Please fix this or give us our money back.
We enjoy the game, but it has been crashing on our iPhone for quite a while. Not a big deal, except when playing in League mode and youre up by 20 points – following a crash you end up with a forfeit (0-30). You really need to fix this. Phone software is current.
Honestly a pretty fun and well made game and our only complaint is the constant crashing of the game. Sometimes while youre playing your game it just glitches you out of the game and destroys all your progress from the match you were in. This glitch thrives specifically in league mode. Its honestly so frustrating to have your game crash in league mode and then come back to see that the opponent that you were just playing against beat you by thirty points apparently, even if you were winning.
