About World Basketball Manager 2010

World Basketball Manager (WBM) is a basketball strategy game. It uses the same game-play principles as most soccer management games do. Entering the game, the player creates his manager profile and he is hired as the general manager of a basketball club and his task is to improve the team’s performance by analyzing the facts and making the right decisions. He controls the various club departments funding (medical, training facilities, youth academy), transfers, contracts, training and of course when the match day comes, he will have to select the team lineup, create the most appropriate strategy and find the way to victory by countering the opposing manager’s plans.

As the season progresses, the manager will receive feedback from press, fans, players and administration. Also score that ranks him among the world's managers. And later on, job offers - even national teams!

Key features:

  • W.B.M. covers all major basketball action in the world
  • Easy to use Editor gives full access to the database
  • WBM features an incredibly well-balanced, real-time match algorithm, with realistic results and challenging A.I.
  • Managers have control of all the actions that their real-life counterparts have
  • Player, team, manager and tournament history records
  • Available in 11 different languages

✦ AI summary

Players consistently report that this basketball management sim is plagued by severe technical issues including constant crashes, freezing, and unresponsive UI elements that make it nearly unplayable. Beyond the bugs, reviewers criticize the outdated spreadsheet-based gameplay, lack of tutorials, and overall lack of engaging content, comparing it unfavorably to actually managing a real basketball team. The consensus is that despite its low price, the game offers poor value due to its broken state and uninspiring design.

Why is this completely broken game still on sale? I cannot believe Steam allows this.

Barely functional, and not amazingly gripping based on what little I could see of the game. I know this is an older title, but I think you'd have more luck trying to be an actual basketball manager than playing this game-ified version of it. Crashes, bugs, dysfunctional buttons and lacklustre gameplay. There's no reason to play this.

Tags: Tycoon&Simulator&Sim&City Additional Tag: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Archaic spreadsheet management game with no tutorials, endless loading animations and unengaging execution. This is an excel spreadsheet management game, made unusable by a buggy interface, with no tutorial anyways so you are lost right away. I tried loading mental attributes of canadian players and the game just kept loading forever... They re-released this as World Basketball Manager Tycoon, but its the same with a fake tycoon graphical interface for the buildings and everything else is still spreadsheets
