played the earlier versions (kind of like with FOF there´s been patches and free data upgrades over several years now) but lost the game due to a computer crash years ago and those were actually kind of fun and you can definitely tell that the guys behind it put their heart into it. Nothing spectacular compared to text sims for other sports. But considering it´s the only game of it´s kind around (with all due respect for Gary, the Euro Leagues in the new DDSPB are very rudimental as of now) and especially for those who don´t follow European basketball it could be fun since you don´t have that high expectations.

Will definitely try the demo : World Basketball Manager

My Steam version is a crashfest, I have about 130 games on Steam (bought lots of game packs), this is the only one that I have uninstalled.

ABORT! DO NOT BUY!

I've been begging for a good international basketball game (that can handle NBA, International Leagues, Euro League, and Olympic/FIBA World Championships).

This is NOT it.

Needs an english translation (by that, I mean that the folks who make this, english is not their first language and it VERY much shows) and about six months of intensive bug testing to get rid of crashes.

I had to LOL when I read that SirFozzie... I first played this game maybe... Jeez, I don't even know, 5 years ago? Maybe more. Sounds like it's in the same state now that it was then.

Don't know about the game, but the image on the left side of the website creeps me out:
