Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 27 March 2016, 00:19:10: I played this stupid game for about 3 hours straight.. I can already see how this type of game can readily develop a gambling problem in kids..

It escalates like so..

500 (in game currency) per game

1500 per game

7500 per game

40,000 per game

100,000 per game

250,000 per game

I played 12 games in the 40,000 tier already.. there's alotta pressure.... I have a splitting headache, and my heartrate is 120, I just measured...

And how you can tell some people have serious gambling problems is by their character build..

In this game you buy the better basketballs with money..

But I noticed that many of the good players use really ****ty balls.. What does that mean? They bet everything and LOST....

So most of these characters are actually fresh ones from the very bottom, since it does not take very long to get to 40,000...

The reason you can get to the 40,000 tier quickly, is because there is a huge skill spread at the 7,500 level, where most players are not very good..

This is the type of game that makes you lose your hair..

DO NOT PLAY.... Under any circumstances.... (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bleeding-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862492)

WHen you win your first 40k match.. it's like OMG... wh0000t..

Then I lost 4 rounds, 160k, and I'm like... fffff.. well it's just play money... 2 minutes later, it hits me, what just happened, so I was like FF FFF FF FFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFF... I literally rolled on the ground and cursed the opponent's grandmother in chinese english and what little spanish i knew...

THen I won 4 matches in a row.. so I was up, but then I lost 3...

I just have a serious headache right now... But the most dangerous thought is, I still really want to play.....

It's so intense.. jesus.. I'm think I'm gonna look for a gambling hotline number I can call...

Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 27 March 2016, 01:18:22: Jesus christ.. Tp4 has been sober for months..

For the first time in ages... I am so stressed out from playing this stupid game, that I feel a compulsion to drink alcohol....

I'll be honest..

I stared at that $99.99 ingame gold buy for a good 20 minutes..

I calculated on paper how long it takes to make that much gold in game..

And all it would've bought me was an In-Game basketball, that slightly increased my odds of winning..

Post by: piemancoder on Sun, 27 March 2016, 14:43:37: I got this game. It's pretty fun. I haven't spent any actual human money on it (yet), so that's good. I would recommend it.
