Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Direct basketball competition centered on passing, dribbling, shooting, defending, and scoring through hoops.

Include when

Assign Basketball when direct basketball competition centered on passing, dribbling, shooting, defending, and scoring through hoops. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Basketball from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
