✦ AI summary

World Basketball Manager 2 offers expansive leagues and text-based match commentary with tactics that meaningfully affect gameplay, but players report it is plagued by frequent crashes, missing features like transfer history and trophy tracking, and severely limited coaching options that reduce the experience to mostly passive watching. The game also suffers from slow performance during simulations, and with infrequent updates and a small development team, players express little confidence that these issues will be addressed, making it difficult to recommend even at a discount.

It’s unfortunate to leave a negative review, but it has to be done. WBM2 is an old-school sports manager. I appreciated the vast number of leagues, text-based match commentaries, and tactics that actually impact the results. However, there are simply too many bugs. Honestly, it’s one of the buggiest games I’ve ever played. Yes, it was made by a small team, probably with a very limited budget, but in that case, it’s better not to release a game at all than to launch something so unfinished. On top of that, the game lacks some small but important features, like a club's transfer history, a list of trophies won by players, and so on. Updates for the game are very rare, and I doubt these issues will ever be fixed. I had high hopes for this game. It partly met them, but I cannot give a positive review to such an incomplete product.

Had high hopes for this one. Totally unplayable. The game crashed as soon as i started playing, i gave it another chance, it crashed again.. Another unsuccessful basketball management game. Waste of time and money.

How do you make a game about being a basketball coach with...well, no coaching? For all the quotes from all time great coaches you would expect you could at least change your defensive schemes, overall offensive schemes, etc. NOPE. You basically just read what happens, as you sub guys in and out. During timeouts you can call literally ONE PLAY. The rest of it is just sitting there, watching your guys flounder a lead, or fall completely out of competition, even though you see what is going wrong, but you are helpless to do anything about it. I tried this game because I like these manager games, but goodness even the DREADFUL PBM 2017 had more options than this. Yes, the game does run relatively quick for all the leagues, but boy is it a snoozefest. All the excitement of checking the box scores, but for $9.99 instead of free. I just cannot fathom how you make a basketball game, with absolutely no strategy or adjustment to it. It boggles the mind. I guess the strategy could be from offseason trading, but 5 minutes of simulation between games, just to watch another menu leaves little incentive to play for that long. Oh, and there's no BGM at all. I would offer to make you a soundtr…
