It’s only based on rating which is not realistic in real life - some more animations/media for all star week - MVP/FMVP isn’t always just highest scorer ### 2/5 — Pretty much the same game as last year *2025-07-20* Only added a three team trade and training . That’s the only new feature . Add other eras like the LeBron and curry era . Maybe a my Career option . But otherwise I love this game ### 4/5 — Good *2025-06-17* It’s a very fun game but I think it should always auto save. It’s good but it could be smoother L. It is just a beta though so I understand ### 2/5 — Game is basically unplayable now *2025-06-11* Please fix it🙏 can’t start a new save ### 4/5 — Basketball manager 25 *2025-06-06* I love this game it’s very fun to play with my favorite teams the system is easy unlike some other basketball manager games but the one thing I DONT like is how hard it is to win a playoff series I will have a great regular season but then when the playoffs come around my team will either lose to a 7/8 seed in round one or choke a 3-1 lead in the conference semifinal or in the conference final. If you are reading this can you please make it easier to win in the playoffs ### 4/5 — Tryna start a franchise mode but it’s say error I’ve been restarting it over and over but it keeps *2025-05-25, version 25.1.12* Saying error ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2025-05-25* The game is fun but the only problem is when I play history mode the teams don’t trade and it’s the same 2 teams winning every year ### 4/5 — Pretty good mobile basketball game *2025-04-28* Great game until you get to the playoffs. You can win 60+ games and still lose in the second round of the playoffs. They kinda give you the 76ers treatment when it comes to the playoffs. You come into every year as a championship contender but lose in the first or second round of the playoffs. Other than that great game that I’ve gotten addicted to especially for road trips because I am a huge basketball fan. Probably the only mobile game that has real nba players other than 2k mobile. ### 4/5 — Excellent game with a few glitches *2025-04-17, version 25.1.12* The game is amazing and pretty accurate, i’ve even payed for the pro version. However, it has a lot of glitches, for example, it randomly crashes so i constantly have to save the game manually. And the biggest problem is that this game always begins to stop working once i get around the year 2060. This limits the amount of years i can play on a certain career forcing me to restart. ### 4/5 — Potential *2025-04-11* There are many good stuff about this game and bad stuff but if I look on the good side this game for sure has potential I made a Boston new line up with Anthony Edwards lamelo ball jaylen brown Karl Anthony towns and Jared Allen ### 2/5 — Same game as last year *2025-03-01* Only added a three team trade . That’s the only new feature . ### 2/5 — confusing *2025-02-08* I don’t understand i made a trade and they are now extra players and can’t play? ### 2/5 — Bad Overalls *2025-01-27* Change the overalls a lot of people are way to high ### 4/5 — No playoffs? *2025-01-27* Every year I get to the playoffs but there are no games? ### 4/5 — Accuracy *2025-01-19* Its a great game, i just wish the ratings and stats were a little more accurate, and that the new current rookies were inserted into the game ### 3/5 — Last one was better *2024-11-10* Need to fix the rosters For example russ is not on the nuggets ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Playoff Bug *2025-06-01* Game is good until you get to the playoffs. After the play ins, games would just disappear and therefore the rest of the playoff games don’t show. It sucks that you can’t go back. Fix this bug! ### 1/5 — Ok game *2025-05-06, version 25.1.12* The game itself is incredible but if you don’t get the pro version ( aka the version you have to pay real life money for) it doesn’t allow you to play past 2031. If it let you go on for more seasons then I would absolutely love this game but since it tries to do this money grab type of thing I’m not a fan of it anymore. Also if you want to change almost any of the settings in the game it forces you to buy the pro version. If you want to play in the past like 1950 1970 or 1990 you also have to buy the pro version. It’s really just a quick money grab designed as a good basketball mobile game. Don’t waste your money and buy the pro version just keep creating new sample mode games and play those until it won’t let you anymore. Then start a new one. ### 1/5 — Buggest game ever *2024-12-20* Doesn’t autosave freezes and nothing works without lag ### 1/5 — STUCK ON THE PLAY IN *2024-10-18* We have to pay for the app and the game get stuck in the play in phase, this is ridiculous, no matter how many days you advance, it remain stuck on the play in, no further games appear, nothing ! I demand my money back ! ### 1/5 — Last Game Was Great but this one’s not *2024-10-16* This game has improved on zero features from the 24 version, the only difference is the roster. This would be fine if there weren’t such an advent of bugs, it’s not uncommon to crash while attempting to select your team’s staff in the pre season. ### 1/5 — Copy and Paste Game *2024-10-09, version 25.1.7* Only added new players, didn’t update draft picks including Brooklyn’s or Rockets ### 1/5 — Rookies *2024-10-03* Rookies are asking for 100 mil plus ?? ### 1/5 — Betrug *2024-09-21* Pro Version gekauft! Nach wiederinstallation weg, nicht wiederherstell bar! Antwortet nicht auf anfragen! ### 1/5 — Salary *2024-09-18* Why is everyone asking for like 100 million a year ### 1/5 — Update *2024-09-16, version 25.1.0* Update rosters and draft picks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-08-16* I would play this during school break with friends and it’s very fun. I haven’t bought the other modes yet but the normal one is classic and I love it. ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME *2025-06-21* best simulation game probably of all time I love that it had the real names of players as well ### 5/5 — Add more awards and levels to this *2025-05-06* Add more awards like sixth man and all nba/all defensive/all rookie teams And for all these games record all the big names stats and stuff it’s nice to see ### 5/5 — G.O.A.T *2025-04-20* One of the best games of the year ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-04-11* This game is really fun but the thing they can do better at is the correct names spelling of the nba players but overall it really fun because I had to buy the game pass but if you do it without buying it not as good because you can’t understand the name of the players. I Also think you should make a college game with recruiting, college rankings players, and ranking polls. Please can you it will be fun? Games Fun definitely downloaded it! ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME *2025-03-18* best simulation game probably of all time ### 5/5 — Such an amazing game *2025-02-07* Very underratted this game deserves more attention, love the simulation aspects ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-01-24* Amazing looks and setup great game best basketball game yet ### 5/5 — A review from a seasoned vet of legacy manager games *2024-11-18* Hi my name is frank, i’ve been playing mainly HLM and BBLM since 22, the game has evolved phenomenally since I’ve started playing, and it’s the only sim game I play currently because I enjoy it so much, my only real critique right now on every legacy manager game is history mode, it’s unplayable with out fixing ratings, adding players in draft, and over all just needs an overhaul. Another really big thing is drafting, yall got to figure out the situation with players with guaranteed franchise potential dropping in the draft because it happens more often then not, and I know for a fact it’s because the draft doesn’t care at all about rating, it cares about their stats that year, maybe it should reflect both yk. The last thing is awards, there’s def a few ur missing for both games so def look in to that but for bblm especially, MVP is so screwed up compared to previous years, it can NOT be ignored and I ENCOURAGE you, to run a couple different sims over a span of a decade and see for your self, it’s almost like defensive stats decide whether you get mvp vs offense plus having average defense stats and it’s a pattern I’m seeing VERY OFTEN. 1 feature I need to see next year tho is better stats for both games, I would love it if yall gave us more options like 2k or NHL so we can have more in depth top talent instead of just having a hard cap 99 with all abilities maxed. Hope my input helps and I can’t wait to see the next 2026 legacy manager games hopefully in September or October 2025, take care-frank ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-11-16* Gros joueur de basketball manager 17 et 18. Je retrouve les anciennes sensations et profite encore plus des améliorations qui accentue l’immersion. Très bon jeu mobile et non paytowin --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
