Weird question I've tried to Google, what would be the best basketball video game to help a child understand the game/develop court sense?

My 10-year old son plays, but has learning disabilities and is having trouble understanding why he’s doing things. I was hoping to find a video game he could play that would help him learn practically in a non-teaching environment. Without coaches, parents, and other players triggering his anxiety.

Thanks if you can help.

If you are wanting to teach him the rules closer to the high school rules. One of the college games would be closer to than the NBA. Of course the stopped making them at the start of the ps3, 360 era so you’d need one of those consoles

It just so happens that I am the proud owner of a PS3. Go figure.

I mean, the answer seems pretty obvious, there’s entire series of games meant to simulate exactly that. Literally any of the NBA games from the past ten years.- they’re all basically the same game

NBA Jam!

If your city has some old arcades, you might find one there.

This is the way.

Also there are emulators available.

Could you also watch games on tv together and point things out to him as the games progress? It would be beneficial if you could pause and rewind the games.

Melatonin OP ,

It’s tough, because he has a hard time in “instruction” environments. That’s why I’m hoping to sideload the info, rather than the direct approach.

Aren’t the official NBA games aligned with the rules? And a version from a few years ago might be pretty cheap.
