Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2019

I'm a longtime fan of sports management games dating back to Baseball Mogul 2003 and the old Extreme Warfare Revenge wrestling sims. This is a great game & a great franchise. The NBA mod available on the studio's forum is really wonderful, bringing full NBA replay going back to 1977. The game rarely crashes and runs pretty well. This game is ideal for examining some of those questions like, "What would the Miami Heat look like if LeBron stayed," or, "What if LeBron went back to Cleveland but they didn't trade Andrew Wiggens for Kevin Love??"

The game itself is fairly immersive and entertaining. HOWEVER.....the game suddenly crashed about 4 hours into it, and will not restart. I deleted it, reloaded it - same thing happened. I did this several times. I was not allowed to get a refund, because of the 4 hours I was allowed to play on it, and STEAM will not help you because it is through another publisher. The game is actually quite good, but you are rolling the dice by purchasing it. Good luck.

Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2019 is a basketball management simulation designed for players who would rather construct a championship organization than personally control athletes on the court. Developed and published by Wolverine Studios, the game puts you in charge of a professional basketball franchise and gives you responsibility for many of the decisions normally handled by a general manager. It is a specialized experience built around statistics, roster management, planning, and simulation rather than the fast action associated with conventional basketball games. The central appeal is the freedom to shape a franchise over the course of a career. Drafting players, negotiating through free agency, making trades, arranging the roster, and determining strategic priorities all contribute to the long-term health of the organization. Building a strong team is not simply a matter of collecting the highest-rated players. You need to consider how different pieces fit together and whether a decision that improves the current season could create problems later. That long-term perspective gives successful rebuilding projects and championship runs a satisfying sense of progression. …

Not very clear and concise of what you have to do and where you have to go to do the things it's asked. Every time I figure something out I run into another problem. Also when I quit the game it still says it's running and then I have to restart my computer. It's kind of like the Joan of Arc of games, great concept, poorly executed.

Too glitchy can't play much more than a season without it crashing constantly. Not worth $1. It's a shame would love a decent basketball management sim.

The developers don't help with discussion on Steam. You are unable to sign up on 'wolverine studios' You can't install historical.mdb to play actual seasons. Good idea....POOR support and execution. I would like support or a refund at this point
