  • Play in Tournaments

    I really enjoy playing this game but it would make it so much better if you could add a play in tournament

    Hello, thanks for sharing your suggestion. We will consider it when working on future game versions.
  • Wonderfully built game with 1 needed tweak

    This game is wonderfully built and balanced. It offers a realistic challenge so that the game lasts more than just an afternoon and then you get bored because you’ve dominated the league right away and every year after. It scratches the itch of wanting a realistic basketball team managing experience.

    This game is one step away from being the total perfect package. There is solid customization available outside of the in season games, but if we were given the opportunity to make substitutions in-game, call time outs and call a “set play” where it really just boosts a chance to score depending on your coaches’ ratings, or double team a hot player on the opposing team. Things to give more of a chance to lead your team in each game would be perfect.

    My only other recommendation would be for team chemistry. Team chemistry is 100% based off of player style and coach’s style. I think this is realistic to a degree. We see players not fit a system in the NBA and struggle, but time played together on the court should increase chemistry slightly IMO. Maybe 75% style and 25% time played together. Time played on the team should also increase system familiarity and reduce TP cost to switch player style IMO. Just a touch more realism I think. Overall, a wonderful game that I love spending time in.

  • Owning

    Question and suggestion. Can I take a job offer from another team but then the next season after that go back to my old team or do they choose for you? And I think you should let us manage multiple teams

  • 5 star game coming from someone picky

    This game is beautiful. As with any game it could be improved with minor changes, but overall they nailed it on this one. I’ve played the other games, the newer ones, but the original feeling never comes as much as when I play this one. Several reviews talk about how it’s a “money pit” or you’re “set up for failure”. The game has its ins and outs, as you learn it you slowly start to realize how you can turn your entire organization around in the first year or two, even in the more difficult modes. Overall this game is a must try if you’re into the sports management sim game genre. Great job devs!

    The ONLY thing I would like to see added to this game and the others is a CAREER MODE! I’d pay good money for that. Also if you enjoy the game, premium is 100% worth paying for, as I have it on all of the games.

  • Don’t underestimated the game

    At first I didn’t look Like a fun game but it was super fun and nerve racking in a finals game but can be challenging in the beginning of the game but once you start playing more the more you start to understand and I also love the fact you can great your very own teams. Though I wish their could be a mode where I could be a player aswell

  • All Grind w/ no Microtransactions

    It’s as simple as this, it’ll take you about 5 years to get off your feet, and by “off your feet” I mean getting swept in the first round of the playoffs. Know that every other team has a different MUCH HIGHER salary cap than you do yourself. Lemme explain. Your cap space in the free version MAXES at $100M regardless of how well you do or how much you upgrade your GM. You have 100M and that’s all. This makes it challenging to even have a full roster of 12-15 players if more than one of them are off their rookie contract because they all expect to go from either 6M to 15M or 1M to 5M when their point production and overall development do want mirror the payouts they want. This wouldn’t be bad if EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE DIDNT HAVE OVER $100M more of salary cap! One of the worst teams in my league (they just drafted #2 overall) had 3 5 star PGs 2 getting paid 17M as well as 9 CENTERS 2 getting paid near 10M EACH. They also had ATLEAST 5 players PER POSITION. Meanwhile, when one of my starters get injured, I’m lucky if I have enough salary cap to sign a bummy 68 OVR free agent to a roster that doesn’t have anyone over 85OVR….in year 6. So many balancing issues need to be addressed. Glad I didn’t spend my money on this random numbers generator.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry you feel this way. Spending money does not affect the functioning of the game mechanics in any way. You can trade players or move them to the B-Team, this will help you to free up the salary cap space.
  • Godly game but has issues

    The game is awesome probably would have rated 5 stars if I bought the premium. The only problem is you could have a 90+ stacked team and coaches but can still lose in the playoffs by a team that’s 7-3 overall less than mine. Other than that is the best game I play right now.
  • Training points

    They shouldn’t be so difficult to obtain, at end of the season you only get a small amount you can barely do any training with it. I hate having to feel as though I need to put money into a game for it to be fully enjoyed.

    Update: I put money into the game nothing crazy just a few dollars and after grinding 11 seasons and having 100 overall players I’ve only won the championship once. This game is ridiculous, I don’t understand how lower overall teams would beat me in the playoffs or my 100+ overall players only scoring 10 points on 3/4 shooting when they have the shooter trait active and leveled up. The algorithm of the game is so questionable it’s mad the game no longer enjoyable and I have since deleted it. I wish I could get my money back.

    Thanks for taking the time to share your game experience! You can build a great franchise and have an amazing team without making any purchases. In the long run better teams win, but it doesn’t happen all the time - just like in real life. We suggest checking our subreddit -https://www.reddit.com/r/UBaseballGM/, there are a lot of tips that you can use.
  • This game is legit

    You can’t watch them play or anything but you can see stats and shooting percentages I have spent my money on this game and it’s worth it Every-time it’s cheap packages their not gonna ask you for your wallet great games Some ideas I have is can the coaches develop during the season like the players why give coaches potential if they don’t get better on their own and can you make the trade deadline into February?
