Both sports anime. Both male leads are self professing 'genius' at the sports, and have about the same character. The leads' group of friends even seem similar!
Two very similar anime's we have here, but only in one way and that is the main charachter and his friends/team and all the happy and serious moments that go with them.
Slam Dunk is closer to the real basketball play then Hungry Heart is to real football, but the atmosphere during the games in both animes are sometimes breathtaking.

Both shows have a redhead tough guy with insane power and reflexes that takes interest in a sport (soccer vs. basketball) and is quite talented at it but often make goofy mistakes. Both are very cocky and talk a lot. Also, Both shows have a gorilla-looking character that puts the redhead in his place with a knock or two when he gets out of line for comedic effect.
Aside from the sport in question, the two series are extremely similar.

Both shows have a tough and energetic protagonist with red hair that is interested in sports (basketball/soccer) and joins a team. Both of these protagonists have a desire to win their matches and are quite talented, but often do silly mistakes. Also, both anime have similar plot elements and create a similar mood.

Everyone probably already knows Slam Dunk. This isnt an objective comparison. I get the same energy and anticipation with Hungry Heart same as I did in Slam Dunk. Fully recommend Hungry Heart. Watched it around the time Jose Antonio Reyes of Arsenal F.C. had the number 9. What a coincidence. Became instant fan of the anime.
