I was deceived ### 5/5 — good game *2022-01-31, version 2.2* A Very good game.update please ### 5/5 — BEST SPORTS SIM ON MARKET *2021-08-12, version 2.2* I AM NOT A SCAMMER IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 5 YEARS!! THEY NEED TO UPDATE OR MAKE A NEW ONE THOUGH!! YOU CAN FIND ALL THE NEW ROSTERS ONLINE AND IMPORT THEM FOR MORE FUN!! IF YOU LIKE THE NBA OR SPORTS THIS IS YOUR GAME! ### 5/5 — Good game simple suggestion *2020-04-14, version 2.2* Allow screen flip and fix glitch where you can’t sim thought more than one game once you reach game 12 of the season ### 5/5 — Underrated Masterpiece *2019-12-18, version 2.2* Everyone needs to play this game if they’re into basketball or big NBA fans. This is THE game. Forget NBA 2K for the IOS. This is the game you should be playing. The guys behind this masterpiece are the real unsung heroes. You all are the real MVP’s. ### 5/5 — Please update *2018-06-24, version 2.2* Please update 😐 ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-04-14, version 2.2* This game is a little difficult to get used to at first but once you get good, you’re set. But maybe a little too set. Once you get a couple star players you’ll just win the championship every year, but it’s still pretty fun especially if you’re a good basketball fan. Now to the problems. My number one problem I have with this game is that after you draft a player, you can never see his potential again. In fact, you can never see anyone’s potential unless you’re either scouting or in the draft. If this problem was fixed, I’d give this game 5 stars. Also, the cap room is not nearly high enough. I don’t think it gets higher with inflation and that’s annoying. In order to have a few star players on my team, I can only ever have the minimum amount of players on my team so I can afford the stars. Also in order to afford my stars, I usually end up signing one or two crappy players just to fill roster spots. Otherwise, I love the game and I recommend it to any basketball fans reading. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2018-04-07, version 2.2* One of my favorite games. Wish you could customize beyond one draft year. Awesome game though. Needs updated as well! ### 3/5 — Something’s Broken *2018-01-01, version 2.2* Weird. Won championship first year, lost championship second year, first round exit third year, no playoffs fourth year. My players are better every year, yet it gets harder and harder to win games. I only draft and develop good offensive players with defensive ratings in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s yet can’t keep scoring down or stop (or slow down) opposing star players. Tried every defensive strategy and defense under the sun, nothing makes a difference. Defensive ratings seem to be empty numbers and make no difference. Also scoring is unbelievably high and game doesn’t track individual or team defensive averages and percentages. I suspect that defense may have been neglected in the programming of the game. Has the potential to be a great game, and the absence of in-app purchases is awesome and commendable. But something is broken. I’ve moved on to other games, but would be happy to come back if the defensive flaws are corrected. Unfortunately, the game hasn’t been updated in a year, and there’s no 2017 version, which doesn’t bode well for future improvements. ### 4/5 — Roster *2017-11-26, version 2.2* Updated Roster? ## Frequently asked questions about Basketball Dynasty Manager 16 ### What is Basketball Dynasty Manager 16?
