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. ### 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? ### 4/5 — Best on market BUT… *2016-07-20, version 2.2* It has some infuriating flaws. The salary cap is broken, the FA market literally is empty after about 5 or 6 seasons and big men are insanely undervalued even by modern standards. Making money is also insanely difficult even on medium difficulty. In order to build up capital you basically have to yield a minimal roster full of guys making league minimum and not hire a coach or GM for multiple sessions before you can even start really playing. What NBA team doesn't turn a profit, like, ever? Even the Kings make money! I've bought this game two editions in a row and it scratches the GM itch on mobile, plus the UI is solid and the player names funny. It just makes the flaws that much more frustrating that there is such a brilliant sim buried in what is mostly a hot mess. ### 3/5 — Alright *2016-07-11, version 2.2* EVERYTIME I go to a different app for a while and come back it restarts especially when I start a new franchise I just had the best team ever I'm tired of it FIX IT ### 4/5 — Game broke *2016-06-22, version 2.2* Love the game, but 2 major bugs. 1) I'm in year 2055 and about 10 years ago all the free agents who did not sign by week 5 disappeared. 2) In year 2055, week 2, my game keeps freezing at halftime of a simulated game between Milwaukee and Washington. It will not proceed past that point. ### 4/5 — Good but limted, has potential to be great with some tweaks! *2016-06-20, version 2.2* You have to fix the salary cap you cant resign Your own players because you will be over your salary cap,i have 3 players Who came out as rookies and now i can only sign one maybe two or i will go over the cap I only had 8 players on My team because Of salary cap. Fix this ASAP And I will give better rating, if not I have to play with scrubs on my team and lose all my stars. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-06-10, version 2.2* Amazing, as always. I just can't figure out the CSV files:( ### 5/5 — Addicting *2016-06-03, version 2.1* Really hard to put my phone down, when i could be playing this. Theres a few bugs here and there and a few fixes that need to be made but overall if youre a huge basketball fan with a basketball mind, this game is awesome. The fixes will come in time. ### 3/5 — Blur and entering game outdated *2016-06-01, version 2.1* The new update made the game very blurry, i cannot even play it now. I believe you said on your website that you have an update ready and waiting for that but theres also one more thing.. When you first launch the app each time, it shows a screen with DM14. Not a big deal but maybe just something you could easily change. 5 stars once the blur updaes out ### 3/5 — Amazing *2016-06-01, version 2.1* Love the updates, but it is blurrier than the previous update, please fix it and it will be a five star game! ### 5/5 — This game is the best GM *2016-03-17, version 1.3* This game is amazing! When you create a franchise you are going to lose the first 3-4 years and not make the playoffs which is very frustrating but if you trade and save money, you will get better and make the playoffs and you will get better every year. I've won the championship 3 times in 10 years! I recommend this game if you want to be a real general maneger! ### 4/5 — Great app but no 5th star *2016-01-27, version 1.3* Here's y u can have a player with 100 Fame and sell his jerseys but still go under I think u should get some money if u win a championship ### 5/5 — When's the next one? *2015-12-25, version 1.3* Loved it and where's the next one??? ### 3/5 — Trades *2015-12-13, version 1.3* No selling draft picks???? That's so stupid and less organized ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bad game *2023-09-21* I spent money to purchase this game, and the page shows that it supports many languages, but I cannot switch when entering the game. I was deceived ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2016-04-17, version 1.3* Worst app ever every time you play the game it freezes and when you start playing season games you can't exit out of them when you are finished. ### 1/5 — Could be great *2015-12-15, version 1.3* Awful financial system, though. Just mind-numbingly bad. That's what really kills what could be a 4-5 star game. 😩 ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-12-03, version 1.3* I purchased this game biggest mistake. Draft gets frozen and it makes no sense.. Don't buy it. ### 1/5 — Help! *2015-09-25, version 1.3* I just bought this app but I can't get it to work properly. I'm stuck! Seems like the action buttons don't appear on screen. For example, in the draft, there's no "draft" button in the lower left as indicated in the instructions (I read the entire instructions). If you provide an email (I don't Facebook) I'll share screenshots. I'm on an iPhone 5 running OS 7.1.2 ### 1/5 — Broken game *2015-07-17, version 1.2* I'm the manager of the Bulls. Even though I have 30M+ in cap room it won't let me sign any players because I have -24M available. I have 7 players total. And I have no coaches but cannot sign any for the same reason. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Only downgrades *2015-05-19, version 1.0.1* This is pretty much an exact copy of DM14. It has a slightly updated roster with the attributes of players in last years version still there. You can also now not sell draft pics which is ridiculous. Save the 2$ and just play last years game. ### 2/5 — Great but..... *2016-12-19, version 2.2* Really great game. Very addictive and captures a lot of what you would want out of a manager game. However, there needs to be a fix for the funds. It is literally impossible to even break even each season. I lose nearly $30 million a year. Completely unrealistic. And why in the world do you need funds to sign a FA if you have cap room?? This makes zero sense. This needs to be fixed then it will be 5 stars. It's only 2 stars for that reason. That's how big of an issue that is. ### 2/5 — Debt no matter what you do *2016-04-21, version 1.3* Its impossible to not go in debt In this game.. You guys should fix this. I'll have one good player with 100 fame and several mediocre players and still go under. I tried nutlike good players with 100 fame and still go under. I tried a team with all mediocre players and I'm still in debt. ### 2/5 — It's ok *2015-07-22, version 1.2* I played this game until the 2037 season and that's when things went wrong. The game says I'm under 6 million in funds yet I have no coaches or havent sold any jerseys so far. I don't know if it's a glitch or maybe something else but they need to fix It. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 😐 ### 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! ### 5/5 — Great time killer game *2017-09-24, version 2.2* This game is simple and good. I had no issue making money at all. Only wish there was sound ### 5/5 — Love this game *2017-04-28, version 2.2* I love these games. I've downloaded every version so far. I hope you guys are still working on a football version. I can't wait for that. ### 5/5 — I'm obsessed *2016-12-14, version 2.2* I play this game literally everyday. I am a YouTuber and I am really considering doing videos on this game. One thing I think you guys should add is for us to be able to copy the players info from online and automatically put it into their bio. And I would also like to ask if I can get any "sneak peek" on when DM17 is coming out?? ### 5/5 — Baller *2016-06-11, version 2.2* Love this game!
