## What is Basketball Sim Leagues?

PennantChase is the best free multi-player basketball simulation site, and this new version of the iOS mobile app allows you all the functionality you get on the full-blown website! This app is a companion to the website (which is also FREE). There are currently over 1,600 leagues and 20,000 registered sports fans at pennantchase.com!

We think the best description was recently sent by one of our users: "I want to convey how absolutely blown away I am by the amount of detail you have put into this. As a former player, now coach, and forever fan of the game, I have played every basketball sim I could get my hands on over the years. Never have I found one with as much attention to detail, depth, and strategy as this. Now my biggest concern is keeping myself from forming a new addiction! The waves set up is perfectly flawless. The usage of all real stat factors and the ability to assign shot shares amongst players on the floor is something I have never seen in a basketball sim. This game is a masterpiece."

Auto Leagues allow you to jump in quickly, or you can be an ambitious commissioner and create creative leagues of your own. Replay history or build a fictional universe.

Come join a passionate basketball community at PennantChase, where there is no shortage of sports dialogue and debate! The site is built and maintained by a single webmaster who grew up inspired by the great simulation games of the past. 

If you've ever wanted to be a basketball coach or general manager, this game is for you. Join up to 25 leagues at a time, featuring real historic stats from 1974 onward. Indulge in basketball history or play with modern stars. It's fantasy basketball on a whole new level!

Pick from a variety of leagues, featuring All-Time Greats to modern stats. Enjoy two to three sims a day, with the ability for users to sim games every 8 hours.

- Create, delete, modify players as you wish
- Choose a batch of players to start with or build from scratch

Most importantly, the site is simple and easy to use. The simulations are based off real, tangible stats – not arbitrary ratings. And the stats are basic so that the sim results make sense. The philosophy is to keep it simple and fun. Obviously, the more time you invest, the better you will become at building a winning team. But you don’t necessarily have to spend hours and hours to be successful. And remember, it's about having some fun. In the end, plenty of "luck" is involved, so don't take it too seriously!

### 1/5 — Way to slow

*2025-10-29*

This game has a 5 star concept with a 1 star execution. The game is simply too slow. It’s nearly impossible to join your first league. And when you finally do it’ll take an entire 24 hours for that league to get started. So you have to download the game and you can’t play the game you download until 24 hours have passed, it makes no sense. Then, when the 24 hours has finally passed it takes 8 hours each time you draft a player on to your team. This system is way too slow and needs to be redeveloped. I hope my message gets taken serious because only paid users can hope to have fun playing this game. Other wise it’s gonna be days before a normal player even gets to think about playing there game even after downloading it. I didn’t even get to see whether I would like or dislike the actual game because the hours it takes for a game to actually start. The whole system seems a little unprofessional to me, because there’s no way the developers of this game thought people would be okay waiting days to test their product out. This game wants you to commit to there product blindly. I was left wondering to myself when trying to play this game, am I just suppose to hope there game is good enough to invest this amount of my time into it, and what if I don’t like it, I could be wasting hours at a time on a game just to try it out. That’s not Ok and not a fair standard to put on a consumer. I do wish the best for this game because I think its concept is next level, but the developers need to take their players time more seriously and be more realistic. Best of luck to this game.
