The career

From the driveway to draft night

Start in your parents' backyard with a ball and a hoop. Play your way through a high school season, pick your college on signing day, hear your name on draft night and fight for minutes in the league.

Every teammate and rival has his own game and his own numbers. They grow, fade and move on between seasons, and how you play decides your role, from the end of the bench to franchise player.

Real games, fast

Every game day is a real 3v3 game

Five a side, two 2-minute halves, 2s and 3s and a 12-second shot clock. Start on the bench, check in on the horn and stay on the floor by how you play. Move with your left thumb, hold SHOOT and let go at the top of your jump.

After the horn, the box card grades you A+ to F as a teammate: the makes, the extra pass, the stops and the boards.

  • About 5 minutes a game
  • Teammate grade A+ to F
  • Short seasons
  • No 48-minute grinds

Quick Play

Run it 1V1. Or call up a 3V3.

No time for a season? Quick Play drops you straight onto the court. Pick the court, from the driveway and the park to a college arena, your opponent from Rookie to Legend, and how long the game runs.

Cross him, step back, get hot. Hit enough in a row and you are on fire.

Game night

Every game opens like a broadcast

The lights go down, the spotlights sweep the crowd, the starting lineups light up one by one, then the camera swoops down for the tip-off. Tap to skip it any time.

Every level has its own building: the driveway, the park, high school gyms, college arenas and the BallSZN Arena, with title games on the big stage.

  • Starting lineups
  • Light shows
  • Packed arenas
  • Title games

Controllers

Bring a controller

Touch works everywhere, and so do clamp-on USB-C controllers and Bluetooth gamepads. The left stick moves, X shoots, A passes, B crosses or steals, Y steps, and every on-screen button shows its letter once a pad is in.

In the menus an orange edge picks a button: the stick or D-pad moves it, A taps it, B goes back.

  • Bluetooth

FAQ

Questions

Where can I get BallSZN?

It is out now, free, on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android.

How much does it cost?

It is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. The whole career is in the game.

Does it need the internet?

No. Everything works offline, with no account and no sign-in. Your career is saved on your phone.

Can I play with a controller?

Yes. Clamp-on USB-C controllers and Bluetooth gamepads work in games and in every menu, and touch works everywhere too.

What happens to my data?

On first launch the game asks whether you want to share anonymous usage data. Say no and nothing is sent. Say yes and it sends anonymous stats and recordings of your games (where players moved, the buttons pressed) that help us improve the game, never your name, email or an advertising ID. You can switch each off any time in Settings. The full story is in our privacy policy.

Are the teams and players real?

No. Teams are named only after real cities and states. No real leagues, team names, logos or players are used, and nothing is licensed from or endorsed by any league.

I found a bug. Where do I tell you?

Email support@ballszn.com or post in the Discord. The support page has the details that help us fix it fast.
