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.4 found this helpful
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.3 found this helpful
The game just doesn't work. There are too many bugs, too many things unfinished.2 found this helpful
the critics that gave this game a 4/5 must have 4/5ths of their brain made out of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cottage cheese
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.
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.
