All-Pro Basketball is a 5-on-5 sports game that was released in Japan and North America.
+ Players have unique stats, abilities and stamina, and you can substitute them during any dead-ball situation.+ Includes a handy password feature that saves all of your progress during the 1-2 player (co-op) League mode.
+ Close-up dunk animations are inspired by Double Dribble (1987, NES), but there's less flicker here and more camera angles.
- Gameplay options are lacking, as you can't change quarter length, difficulty, or even play an exhibition match vs the CPU.
- Your teammates are useless and consistently shy away from opposing players when they're heading toward the basket.
- Screen rotates 180° when crossing centre court, which is disorientating and ruins your flow due to the action pausing.
- There's only one music track during gameplay that repeats incessantly, and there's no option to switch it off.
