About World Basketball Tycoon

WBM Tycoon is a fresh look in sports strategy games that combines the classic manager game with the financial management and development of a Tycoon type game.
As the Club Owner you must generate (or loan) the necessary funds in order to expand the club's facilities, raise the financial level and improve the team's roster.
And as you remain the Manager you are still in charge of the Player's training program and when the match day comes, you have to select the team lineup, create the most appropriate strategy and find the way to victory by countering the opposing manager's plans.

Features:
• Worldwide basketball action from all leagues
• Over 1,000 teams including national and international teams
• Over 12,500 basketball players
• Over 1,200 managers
• Over 100 full playing national and international competitions
• Challenging A.I.
• Daily news coverage from around the league
• Realistic basketball statistics and atmosphere
• Easy to use data editor with access to the full database
• In-game player search engine
• Different responsibilities involving Manager, Owner and Financial Manager
• Online Manager World Ranking

Why would you ever play this unfinished, buggy trash heap that pretends to be a game when the infinitely superior World Basketball Manager 2010 exists? Don't be a sucker.

Perhaps a bit unfair since basketball is not my favourite sport and I do love games like football manager but this game was just too boring for me. Since the creator does not own the NBA license(s) you will only get fake player and club names , which is pretty annoying, in my opinion. The interface is quite simple and you will find that most things that should be in a management game are there but it looks like the game was made in the early 2000's. If this all doesn't bother you and you just want a simple basketball management game for a low price, this could be for you.

The game just doesn't work. There are too many bugs, too many things unfinished.

This is a simple spreadsheet simulator/sports business management game where you control one a bunch of fictional, deliberately misspelled world Basketball teams (because they didn't have a license for this), so hooray for the "Milbourne Tigurs" etc. This is of laughably terrible quality, fixed resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, poor graphics, woefully buggy/unusuable interface. The cutesy graphics might seem compelling but this is overall just so bad it makes the entire body of video games worse.
Not recommended Feb 24, 2019
I have no idea what is going on. No tutorial. No explanations for anything. I don't know what I paid for this, but it was too much. 5ish minutes of play was more than enough to tell me to uninstall and never look at it again.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
