Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2017

I have searched and searched for a Basketball Computer Sim game and finally my search is over. Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2017 is as good as it gets for Basketball sims in the market right now. I play Football Manager and OOTP Baseball, so I know that there are some very high end gaming products out there, but there is nothing for Basketball. Yes the game has a long way to go to catch up with the likes of Out of the Park games, but it still offers you a fairly decent game. The modding community is small but there is enough out there for you to customize your game to look pretty much like the real NBA universe. It offers a full NBA league with all the current players, stats and more, plus the NBA D-League and Euro league. The 2D feature is decent enough for playing out games, where you can sub players and make other strategic decisions a coach needs to make during a game. Like I said, this game has a lot of potential going forward, but If you're a real basketball fan you will not ...

All in all it looks like a good game , building a franchise seems interesting , wanted to see the draft, the basketball part looks iteresting, approachable for a beginner but still deep. prsentation is good with minor kinks. (why do i have to watch the d.league draft? ) all in all game looks very interesting and coud suck one in. But that all doesnt help when the frequent crash make the game so unstable its basically unplayabe so i basically had to shelf a very dencent game now and have a slight hope something gets fixed after all. Can treally recommend it in this state , it looks so good its even more disappointing its crashes on you permanenttly :-(

I purchased this game because a love sports simulation games, especially basketball. The first few hours of the game went without a hitch. As I proceeded past my first season, the game became extremely buggy. I couldn't progress my season at one point, various crashes, etc. At that point, I asked Steam for a refund. Unfortunately, my gametime played was too much. I would not recommend purchasing this game due to the stability. The concept is great, some aspects are good but the reliability is bad.

Don't waste your money. The game crashes consistently.

I do enjoy sports sims like this, but I spent about 4 hours with the game and I just couldn't get past the horrible UI. There might be a good game hidden in there someplace, but I didn't have the patience to find it.

I decided to buy this after playing Pro Basketball 2014, the only other available one on Steam. I'm in love with simulation games, and this one fits the bill for a decent basketball simulation. There are very cool options to tinker with, such as simming seasons that date back to 1978. So you can create a very interesting team during the process, though I don't like how the coaches do not reflect the actual coaches of the time, they're randomly generated. Despite some of these setbacks, I very much enjoy other options, like the draft, trades, and free agency. It can be tedious, but also very fun. The biggest problem with this game is it's instability. I've had to restart plenty of simulations because of crashing that happens on my saved seasons. Even keeping as many as 8 save files I use during that simulation, they can all be destroyed a game-breaking crash. Unfortuntely, this happens more than I'd like. If I had to give this game a score, it'd be about 7.5/10. It's gotten me up t...

Im cheese. OK game, but crashes often. Not worth the pricetag.

It's such a good simulation basketball game. However, what is the point if it keeps crashes and you lose everything? I was hoping to get through a season at least. Nope, 30 games in and poof can't get into the game anymore. Such a shame as I really enjoyed playing the game.

Fuck this game bro I cant create the league. Everytime I create a league it just stucks at the same loading point and just stays there for ages. I need some fixes pls.

The game isn't as full featured as OOTP Baseball or even FHM for hockey. But the game isn't terrible. Still could use a bit of work to fix the crashing and i'm not sure in the 2018 version fixed this. Overall, it good but could be better.
