Hoop Stars strategy guide
Drive to the rim whenever you can. Dunks are the most reliable way to score.
Use reverse dribbles to change direction and get past a defender who is close to you.
When defending, stay between your opponent and the basket rather than chasing the ball.
Watch your opponent's position before you commit to a move. A reverse dribble works best when the defender is leaning one way, and a straight drive works best when they are out of position.
On defence, stay patient. Lunging for the ball often leaves an open lane to the basket. Holding your position and reacting to their move is usually safer.
Hoop Stars suits players who want short, one-on-one basketball matches with simple touch or mouse controls.
