Ben Freidlin, CEO and Founder said, “The Court is our second statement piece on the arcade-action sports genre, and I wanted it to be faster in its flow, higher in skill cap, visually and sonically explosive, and altogether unforgettable. It had to be a tour de force. Almost nobody gets the chance to tackle an NBA-licensed arcade game, and we left it all on the court as the saying goes”
