Kinda good kinda stale
This game actually surprised me, in a good way.
It has some good systems for improving your player, buying upgrades to enhance your stats, negotiating a contract (could be better), relationship building with other players and your coach, building fame, etc.
The main issue I have, though, is how repetitive it is. And, unfortunately, the main repetition you go through is the weakest element of the game - gameplay.
I didn’t realize the actual games would be mostly simulated. You sort of just appear suddenly on the court with the ball. Sometimes it gets stolen by a defender immediately, which is annoying. I always have to take a good second or so to figure out where I am on the court, which can result in the situation on the court changing so fast that I get screwed due to technical limitations.
I like the process of building up my player and getting new contracts and whatnot, but the gameplay of simply dashing, passing, or shooting and no other on-court elements gets stale quickly.
I’d play this game more and even spend some real $$$ if they rounded out the actual gameplay a bit. This could be the Retrobowl of basketball if they allowed for more than one shot per possession, passing multiple times, rebounding, etc.
