About Basketball Legends 2020

Basketball Legends 2020 turns basketball into a compact arcade battle where possession can change quickly.

You can play against the computer or another player, with one-on-one and two-on-two setups depending on the mode.

The game also gives each player a special move, so a match is not only about ordinary shots and dunks.

That combination of movement, steals, blocks and special moves is what gives Basketball Legends 2020 its arcade feel rather than trying to reproduce a full basketball simulation.

How to Play Basketball Legends 2020

Choose a game mode and take on the court with arcade shooting, dunks, and special moves.

During gameplay:

  1. Choose a game mode such as Training, Quick Match or Tournament.
  2. Move around the court with WASD and use B for shooting or other actions.
  3. Use S to pump fake or block when defending.
  4. Double-tap D to dash past a defender or create space.
  5. Save your supershot and use V when the power bar is ready.

Small moves can change possession, so combine dashes, steals, blocks, and special moves instead of only taking ordinary shots.

Small Moves Can Change Possession

A normal drive can become much more dangerous when you combine a dash with a jump near the basket. The defender has to react to the change of direction rather than simply following your player.

Stealing is also more than a button press. The action is most useful when you are already close to the ball carrier; pressing it from too far away wastes the opportunity.

The supershot changes the value of the power meter. Once it is full, you do not have to spend it immediately. Keeping it for a late possession can give you a way back into a close game.

Practical Tips

  • Use the dash to create separation instead of holding one direction.
  • Do not waste a steal attempt when you are clearly out of range.
  • Keep the supershot for a possession where it can change the score or recover the ball.
  • Try Training before Tournament if you still hesitate between shooting, blocking and stealing.

Arcade Mechanics in Basketball Legends 2020

  • Fast Possession Changes. Matches stay compact and arcade-paced, so a steal, block, or special move can swing the score quickly.
  • One-on-One and Two-on-Two. Play against the computer or another player, with setups that change depending on the mode.
  • Special Moves and Dunks. Each player has a special move, so games are not limited to ordinary shots.
  • Supershot Meter. Save the powered shot until a late possession where it can change the score or recover the ball.
