Rattle the rim, slam dunk and drive the lane: if these are skills you are looking to master, then the Big Win Basketball app is meant for you. Even if you're not a big basketball fan, the element of fun cannot be denied in this sports-themed app.

There's no need to be a pro to enjoy this game but fear not if you've got the skills - you'll still find a challenge here. You'll need to begin by creating your very own dream team (of course your dream team is completely customizable) that will then play against teams located around the globe. You'll be watching your team play while you help them out by boosting their skills such as blocking, passing and shooting. The goal is of course to win trophies both Pro and Amateur.

Trophy Mode allows you to decide how many games you want to play for a trophy and when the games begin. When you start in the Amateur Trophy you'll be pitted against teams that share like ratings to your team.

The card packs are a cool feature of the game with Bronze, Silver, and Gold available. These packs will give you skill boosts, new players, and will help you collect more cards. The huge big impact cards will have game-changing effects so you'll want to think long and hard before pulling them out. These game changing events include such things as pick pocket, charity stripe, sixth sense, and breaking ankles.
