  • Many Issues

    Trading: Most players cannot be acquired, as draft picks have no value. Anyone over 90ovr is impossible to get without someone over 95ovr.
    Not to mention the 5-10ovr dropoff for any player you trade for. Give up a 85ovr and 3 1RP? Expect a 90ovr but get a 84 instead.

    Injuries: Anyone over 30yo will tear their MCL for 1-3 months at least 2 times per season. Have yet to go a season without at least 1 starter having a season ending injury.

    Contracts: Players ask for way more money from the player than the CPU, all the top teams have 90+ovr players for under 15m a year. But for the player its 20m+ for anyone over 80ovr.

    Facilities: Every single facility is lvl1/2, which would be fine if it did not take 40+ seasons to upgrade them all. Of course the other teams have great facilities that boosts their players by 5-10ovrs.

    Training Points: 1 Season of points doesnt get a single upgrade for anyone over 85ovr.

  • Love This Game + One Problem

    I love this game!!! It’s fun, addicting, and it challenging. The only problem I have with this game is the draft classes on extreme mode. It is super difficult to find franchise players in this mode when all of the young prospects either aren’t good, they have terrible personalities, or they aren’t basketball savvy/high iq. Other than that this is a very good game and I’m excited to see what’s to come

  • Meaningful improvements make it great

    If you’ve played the game years or months ago and tossed it aside for being buggy or too simple, you simply must download it again. The ranked Legend mode is as real as simulations get, it will outsmart you without feeling like you’ve been cheated. It has a robust scouting system, engaging development, and just so much to recommend it for any couch GM out there like me.

    Perfect game? No. But the dramatic improvements and expansions I’ve seen from when the game first came out make it clear that the developer won’t stop until he has the perfect basketball GM sim.

    Thank you so much for the great feedback!
  • Great game but not perfect

    I spent so much time on this app it’s the best GM simulator app. It’s as close as an app can get to MyGM on NBA2k. There’s only one thing that I wish could be changed. It’s upsetting that each time you make a new league you have a around a 75 overall team, bad coaches, the first pick, etc. I wish that there was a mode where you can see what the teams overall is. If I were able to pick an 85 overall team and get like the 20th pick for example, it would be fun to mix it up. It’s a great game, but I don’t always want a total rebuild. It’s not that hard of a game but it is annoying that it usually takes 3-5 seasons until my team is good. I get it it makes the game feel more genuine and real, but it would also be nice to have a team that is instantly pretty good.

  • Close

    I would have given the game a 5 star review but there is a issue. Your challenging mode/2 star is a bit ridiculous, I tried 5 times and even bought training points to see if itd make a big difference but it didn’t. I had the best team overall 91+ for 7 seasons in a row and either got eliminated before the conference finals or swept in the first round. This includes a roster of the 4 coaches with 5star 89+ attributes. Feel like you have to make it a bit more realistic there is no reason why I should be getting beaten by 85 or less teams when my deck is stacked like that.

  • Awesome Game

    The game is great and I enjoy playing it thoroughly, however my team is an 89 ovr and we only made it to the 4th seed and was clean swept in the conference finals. The main reason for this is that my chemistry is super low, but I have spent the training credits to ensure that all starters including the coach have an offensive style of SET, but for some reason this doesn’t change anything, so I’m super confused and it’s holding my team back from getting a ring.

  • Nice but ran into an extremely frustrating issue

    Great, fun app. Lots of depth and story, and fun to train my players and winning a championship knowing it was entirely me that made us win. But i’ve recently ran into a terrible mistake. I can’t trade for Small Forwards. I’ve tried three times. All the draft picks and the players i send go through, but i don’t actually get the small forward the team was supposed to send. i check the info and it says “trade with so and so” “blah blah draft picks and (SF) sent to my team”. I still don’t have them. Please fix this soon, i just want my small forward. Thanks!

  • Way too many interruptions

    Too many incidents and injuries to make the game enjoyable
  • Great potential

    This game has a lot of potential, but is unfortunatey unplayable at the moment due to player roster bugs.

    I had 2 players who got exhausted which made them unavailable for the team, which meant I could not select them and I had to sign new players to replace them. Those 2 players never recovered.

    Add to this injuries, which again you have to sign new players to replace, and the fact that those new signings get you above the salary cap, and you cannot proceed until you reduce your salary.

    All of this quickly made the game a complete mess! Such a shame!
