Timed to launch with one of the most historic NBA finals in recent memory, NBA The Run is the latest in a line of basketball games, following in the footsteps of venerated titles like NBA Jam and NBA Street. Serving up 3v3 street ball with some of the biggest names in the game at some of the most iconic courts across the world, the tradition of arcade hoops is alive and well with NBA The Run.
Borrowing the over-the-top action and breakneck pace of its predecessors, the game favors quick passes,huge dunks and threes from waaaayyy downtown. The 3v3 gameplay moves quickly and translates well, especially for online competitive play against friends or against the world in matchmaking.
NBA The Run keeps it simple, particularly in its approach to presentation. Mimicking the shirts and skins pickup games happening in everyone’s neighborhoods right now, The Run ups the ante by putting the biggest names in the NBA onto the court. The launch roster officially includes:
