Hardwood GM Basketball Manager

DESIGN A PROSPECT Create-A-Player, a new unlock: pick a position, an archetype, a background and a name, and the game rolls him into this year's draft class. He rolls the way every other prospect does, he is fogged and scouted like the rest of the board, and he still has to be drafted, by you or by one of the other thirty clubs. Once a season. Included in the Complete GM Bundle. SHARE THE BIG MOMENTS Win the title, finish a season you are proud of, make the trade everybody argued about, take an award or unlock a trophy, and tap Share. The game draws a card with your club's crest and colors, sized for a phone feed, and opens the share sheet with the picture attached. The buttons are on the yearbook, on the trophies you just unlocked, in the trophy case, and right after a trade. A RATING, IF YOU WANT TO After your club wins its first playoff series, the game asks once, through Apple's own prompt, whether you would like to rate Hardwood GM. Nothing is given for a rating and you can dismiss it. There is also a Rate Hardwood GM row in the Front Office handbook if you would rather do it yourself. BACK UP YOUR CAREER A career is now a file you can keep. On the launch screen, tap the share icon next to a career to save it to Files, iCloud Drive or anywhere else, and Restore a career from a backup puts it back on this phone or a new one. No account needed. SIX NEW SITUATIONS Situations Vol. 2, a new start pack: Hired at the deadline (you get the desk in late January, ten days out, with the season half over), The expansion franchise (a roster built from what nobody protected), The kid (a nineteen-year-old with a generational ceiling and not much else). Two clocks (old stars, a young core, one season to serve both), Hometown hero (your best player is out of contract in June) and A skeleton staff (every coach walked out with the last GM). Included in the Complete GM Bundle. A FAIRER LEAGUE The MVP now comes from a winning club. Dead money counts against the cap in trades and against the tax, as it does in the real league. A promise made at a signing is judged on the minutes he actually played, so keeping your word is never marked as breaking it, and a starting job promised on paper is never kept on paper alone. MORE TO READ New lines for the season opener, the season wrap, the champions, the preseason, the awards, retirements and Summer League, so a long career repeats itself less.
