Flick Basketball (Freeverse’s) is the first iPhone game that has been licensed by the NBA. With five mini games, an energetic soundtrack, and licensed players from every NBA team, Freeverse has given the game a great deal of superficial polish.
The soundtrack is pretty catchy, and the commentators veer from overly laudatory goofball comments.

While the graphics are impressive and the players’ appearances are fairly accurate, you’ll be limited to using them in a 3-point shooting contest, playing HORSE, or engaging in a “Long Shot” race against time that you might recognize from various college basketball halftime competitions, What’s most frustrating about the Flick NBA Basketballapplication is that it feels like Freeverse is selling you the leftovers of an actual basketball game. It appears to be that the developers spent all the money they could have spent on developing an actual basketball game into securing the expensive licensing rights of the NBA players, teams, and logos represented. Instead of developing a small sports simulator, you have aspects of the game of basketball dressed up real pretty and passed off as the real thing.
