World Basketball Tycoon

This game is honestly terrible. I'm a huge fan of Tycoon and Strategy games, and this game is just a poorly planned, terribly executed, game... can I even call it a game? It's just not good. The screenshots make it look engaging and deep, but there is no easing into this game. No tutorial, and the stats aren't very useful. Pass on this game basketball and tycoon fans.

i'm addict basketball fan, so i buy this game and regret it very badly Knowing some awsome game of simulation of sports (Football Manager), this game rise you hope up. About 30 mins played you know all functions of the game, you dont have THAT control of the team, you can only setting up you trainings and selects you players to start, and that it, no more interactions!!! I will not comment about the graphics and things like that because i dont care much about this. If this game have some more options of managing or more environment of basketball could be a fun a game.

This is a game for serious sports fans. If you really like basketball and/or other games in the genre such as Football Manager, then you will like this game. It doesn't offer a lot graphically, but it is very detailed as far as managing a team and using analytics to create the best team possible. It can be very difficult, but you can turn the difficulty settings down before launching the game. Buy this if you want a deeply detailed basketball management experience and don't mind that it runs pretty much like a browser game. I have a longer review available on Corrupted Cartridge.

This game had potential but it feels unfinished. Simulating takes an insane amount of time even if you reduce the number of tournaments. You'll spend more time waiting time to flow than acutally managing your team which makes it quite a pain. Also, there are some bugs and unfinished features like the one where you can remove tournaments but the game will still load them from the menu and give an error message if you chose them. And since there is no sign of an update, I'm glad it was on sale when I bought it cause in it's curent state, it isn't worth 10 bucks.

First off, Don't let the haters tell you this is a bad game. This is an awful game. Everytime you attempt to play a match, the game crashes. My hopes and dreams of becoming the top basketball manager in the world were crushed by this game, and now I never want to touch a basketball ever again. Sincerely, a man who's hopes and dreams were crushed by this game.

Simply terrible and glitchy to the point it isn't even playable. Not worth it at all.

holy sheets buttman, this thing is broken like a pre alpha, 7 attempts of starting a game, and each one of them has resulted in getting stuck in gamebreaking bugs. never expect to be able to go back in the menu system, as you will be unab´le to continue the game if you try.

There's a lot to enjoy in this game if you're a fan of sports management sims. It does a decent job of giving you options in developing both your franchise and your players and an AI that's always competent without making you feel like the deck is stacked against you. I live in Korea and was very impressed to see a good data base for the Korean professional basketball league and assume the same attention to detail extends to other non-NBA national leagues. Don't be put off by the fictional team and player names. You can go to http://www.wbmfan.webs.com/ and download easily installable real name and real player image files for the NBA. The mechanics for playing individual games is modest but enjoyable and while the interface is a bit clunky and the graphics and sound are retro, none of the limitations are deal killers. While the game can't go toe-to-toe with top priced sports management sims, it's excellent value for money.

It's an ok game if you love basketball and old school sim games....I love both, and I enjoy this game, but would probably give it a 3/5. Still, a lot could be improved to make this a great game, in my opinion: The load times are incredibly long. The game gives you VERY little control unless you want to coach during the games, I, personally, would rather set up rotations, offensive/defensive settings, etc. and let a computer coach run the game. Instead, you can sim games, but you have no control at all over the depth chart, offense/defense used, etc. Like I said, I want to be the GM, but don't want to do quite s much coaching. There's not really any scouting. This would be an obvious and great addition. In signing International players it would be great to find diamonds in the rough/find overrated guys on the decline. Instead you just see their ratings, which is slightly boring, and also unrealistic. It's a good game. It's interesting trying to build teams in different countries an...
