This game is fire best mobile nfl manger simulation game. But there’s plenty issues with salary caps i can’t make trades ever because teams suck with money, the the scouting system seem decent, but my main issue is trading, not being able to sim a full season, we need a new updated database and a way to get team logos would be fire too. But overall W.

If possible (please consider)

Love the game and the overall concept. I play both the basket and football versions and really enjoy them!

*Since the in-season tournament is already apart of real basketball, I would love to see it included as well on your next update.

Additionally, I would appreciate an option to control player rotations. In close games, top players are subbed out for bench players which can impact the outcome of the game. Would love to be able to control that.

Thank you for your time effort and dedication to developing these games. Completely amazing. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Awesome But Runs Into Cap Problems

Super fun game with clever, immersive details. The biggest issue right now is reminiscent of older Madden franchises where top players are left unsigned in free agency about 10-15 seasons in due to player salaries increasing and maxing out every team’s cap. This also makes trades near impossible due to each team being past the second apron. If the caps can be designed to adjust relative to the in-game salaries this game would be just about 5 stars. Very fun while it lasts.

Fantastic game

These games are awesome. It would be even better if there was a baseball version as well.

Overall, Great Game. Few Recommendations.

Dear Pocket GM Basketball,

This game is fantastic and very fun to play, i am addicted!!! However, I believe there could be some improvements. For one, I think it would be great if you can put features in the game where you can; edit jersey colors, have secondary leagues (like the g-league but not really) so we can send players there to takeover and also win championships, maybe have variety of trophies for different awards, be able to hang up jerseys, all-star competitions, be able to assign mentors to players, have players demand trade, have players purposely play bad if they are not happy with team performance, etc.!!!

Thanks! Hoping you guys the best. 😊
