How it plays
How does Double Dribble play?
Double Dribble uses a side-view court perspective during normal play, with the camera scrolling horizontally as the ball moves between baskets. The objective is to score more points than the opposing team before time expires.
Players control the active athlete, pass, shoot, steal, and attempt to block shots. A match is divided into timed play, with possession changing after baskets, turnovers, steals, and defensive rebounds. The game focuses on arcade-style momentum rather than player statistics, season management, or a long-term career mode.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Double Dribble?
Move the ball with short passes instead of relying on one dribbler. Passing can create space and reduce the chance of losing possession while defenders close in.
On defense, stay between the ball handler and the basket, then attempt a steal or block at a carefully chosen moment. Near the basket, watch the shooter’s position and use the close-range scoring opportunity when it is available.
