World Basketball Manager 2

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the game. Back in 2003, when the first WBM was released, it was a very good effort and something innovative. I didn't mind the bugs and flaws because if the game was further developed, something great would happen. 14 years later, I cannot mind the bugs and flaws. Not when the game has been reskinned and reselled multiple times in the past. First of all, expect a little level of realism and immersion from the game. You cannot set your own tactics (and as we know, basketball has A LOT of tactics involved), you cannot interact with the players or the media, there are no trades, the AI keeps changing defensive tactics every two minutes (no real coach does that for 40 or 48 minutes), there is no scouting (as in discover players with potential, as a matter of fact there is no potential ability), you can bring any player you want as long as you have the money (Lebron James to Euroleague? Why not?) and the game doesn't do a good job distinguishing tiers of...

Great game if you like old school manager games. You need to install the Real Names and Images patches from wbmfiles weebly com to really enjoy this game.

I have been playing WBM series since 2008. Classic WBM series + Tycoon game. My expectation was high enough for new game however unfortunately WBM2 is basically same initial game since 2008. Almost no improvement but only new interface which is nicer and more useful. Guys!, this game still has no trade or loan options :) or proper draft system in NBA. you cant even scout potential tallented players. Moreover still struggling with sufficient numbers of bugs. Honestly the WBM2 is not worth to pay 10Euros of bill :) . Even though plenty of issues, it is still best basketball manager game especially whom likes old school type of managering games. On the other hand, creators of this game had very limited budget and dedicated their time to build the WBM2. Yes there are so many drawbacks but truth is this game is still the best game in market. And i hope that finally developers of this game will add more features and improvements (and update steam version of this game as well :) ) I recomme...

Easily the best basketball game out there right now for PC (and yes, that includes NBA 2K18). The main downside is that the game uses general management regulations, so no salary cap or trading in the NBA. I honestly found it more fun to play international leagues instead as a result.

I've been playing WBM since 2007. The game is getting better every year and with this latest addition to the series developers did great job. I always enjoy with the depth of database having variaty of leagues. In addition to database now interface is more colorful and provides easy navigation, match engine is faster.

Actually I like this game.I m a old footmanager gamer ,and I like tihs kind game.I want to learn more about basketball,but it`s little difficult for me to face so many words I donot understand....It`s is ok to have a Chinese ver?There`s lots of China`s basketball lover,we will like it.Thank you.

I’ve been following this game since the beginning. There are not many new features in the new version but it solves the game’s biggest problems, which was the clumsy interface and the slow speed. The new interface is clear and easy to use and understand and the daily update speed is a lot faster. Also many things that existed in older versions seem to work better now, like the players’ contract and playing time problems and the ability to sell players to other teams. As usual the Real Names patch is essential in order to really enjoy this game.

I love this game and for £6.99 you can't go wrong. I love my sports management sims but i'm usually put off when I see that the matches are only text based. Well I don't know how the developers have done it but they've really made me feel like i'm immersed in a huge basketball world. I'm not normally a basketball fan, so I don't fully know how the rules of the game work, but even though there's a lot of depth to this game, it's still easy enough for the beginner to figure out after a few games what's going on. The matches are quite long so I don't know if I could sit and spend a whole day playing it, so i've simmed it to the current date and I play it in real time, it just feels more exciting doing it that way.

Absolutely banger of a game!

I bought this game when it first came to steam only to have it refunded, months and months have passed and I got the game again since it was on sale for only 2.50$!! Sadly though it needs so much work to be fun. I love sim/management games and it seems that American football and Basketball sims are just never done right or even close to what should be a higher standard in 2017. This game is to management sim games like Lonzo Balls shooting in the nba, its just cringe. I don't have much good to say about the game because its so boring I can't even play it. But I can tell you why I have issues with it. First has no music, give us some 8-bit or something so it doesn't feel like I'm playing a game in DOS. There is no fantasy draft so you can't build your own team only take over a team and what's even way worse is there isn't even trading! User interface is confusing, players need a better rating system too. And lastly its just not fun if your looking to manage a team in the NBA.....
