    I have been a big fan of the DDS Pro Basketball series and am in a long running online league. We will be making the jump to this newest engine once all the kinks are worked out. If you are into sim sports games - especially basketball - this series is as good as it gets.

      I am curious how it compares, features-wise,  to OOTP or Football Manager. Same ballpark?

        I played this briefly in 2016 and the sim engine seemed really good. I decided to wait a year for the GUI to get sexier but then forgot about it. I'll take this as a reminder!


        There's a french brand that has a text based basketball sim too. I remember the GUI being better but the engine being worse. If only the 2 could combine.



        It has always been my dream to play the basketball equivilent of Football Manager. I wonder what this game is like these days in 2018

            For those of you wondering yes, there are community created mods and the mods can even be used with the demo. The link to the mods in our forums is at http://www.wolverinestudios.com/boar...orum.php?f=284

                Nothing is in the same ballpark as those 2 franchises but it’s pretty good.

                  No. And it's frustrating because I know I would be a regular customer if it was. I have to assume Gary has his reasons.




                  As for that french game, steer clear. I tried it. It's awful. No real free agency, engine is crap once you actually dive in deeper. It was made for international ball in mind and the NBA is just a throw-in with very little, if any, of the important rules needed to play a simulation game as a GM.
                  "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
