TPB2K5 vs FastBreakBasketball
Hey everyone, I'm pretty much a basketball neophyte, really only got into it this past summer thanks to Replay Basketball.
I've heard alot of good things about these 2 games and was wondering if anyone can compare them and perhaps recommend which one (if either) would be more appropriate/enjoyable for someone in my boat! Is TPB worth the extra $15US ( about $20Can)? I've downloaded both demos and will try to give em both a shot over the weekend. Thanks alot for your help |

if you love basketball get both
tpb 2005 is pro basketball and FastBreakBasketball is college basketball... tpb 2005 has a 2d graphic on there play by play, so you can watch the graphic and read the text when viewing or coaching... i just recently purchase tpb 2005 ...its very solid.. and now i planning to go get FastBreakBasketball which i heard about recently....it seems like a great game, but no 2d graphic...but i hear its the best college basketball sim game to get... |

There's also a pro version called fast break basketball. Its a solid game, but I have to say that TPB2005 is the better of the two. FBB was a really good game when it was released but is a bit dated now. There is a new version of FBB in the works though, but I have absolutely no idea on a timetable for release.

To be exact, jbmagic, FBB is the pro version of FBCB. I haven't played it, but from what I understand it is a little bit on the older side. However, I think I remember someone saying that Heavyreign is working on a new version of FBB, so hopefully that will be out sometime soon...

Fast Break College Basketball is newer than Fast Break Basketball (the pro version) and yes, I think most people would agree that FBCB is the best college sim around. It's a great game, you should try the free trial and see for yourself.

No question FBCB is the best college basketball sim and easily one of the top 5 text sims available.

Why is FBCB so good....ive never played it, never really heard of it before, but i love college basketball....I have TDCB, and a great career there where I started at Norfolk St, went to Auburn, where i won a national title, and finally got my dream job at Indiana, where I won my 2nd title......just curious, cuz if its that much better then TDCB, id think about picking it up

Best of all its not really a demo, it's a free trial where you can try out the full game for three days. Usually you're hooked by then, as many of us on this board can attest to. |

You need to go to the Human - Coaches menu and Add your own coach, once you create a coach you can assign them to any team you want.
