Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2017

I have played this series through most of it's incarnations. DDS: Pro Basketball 2017 is by far the best. If you are interested in a basketball GM sim, in the vein of Baseball Mogul or OOTP Baseball, or are a fan of management games, this game is the best basketball game available. In previous versions it was difficult to build teams using the draft, this version while not perfect offers a realistic team building experience. Occasionally you will find the next LeBron James or Stephen Curry, but more often then not you do not. You have a wide variety of stats to sift through including advanced stats like TS% and +/- stats. Often times a player's rating does not reflect their actual impact on the game and in this case carefully tweaking the roster can result in your team winning more games. Overall it is an accurate simulation of being an NBA basketball GM. I have put hours into this game and similar versions and overall I highly recommend the game for people who are into this genre. It is a lot better than the previous versions as far as statistical accuracy. PROS: Best Basketball Management Game on the Market. Fairly accurate stats. Computer generated players have relatively realistic statistics. Team chemistry matters. You can make expansion teams Tons of stats to sift through Cons You can exploit CPU AI(To a degree, the CPU GMs are not complete idiots) Too many players play all 82 games The D-League Draft takes too much time. Draft is a little too predictable, no random surprises in the 2nd round. Overall highly recommended. Much better than previous incarnations.

Given the fact that I never played Basketball and I got zero knowledge on the subject, I can say I'm enjoying the game. The only problem is that it's prone to crashes, more often that you would expect. I got this copy for free from developers - who are actually very nice people and always reply to support emails in a timely fashion - after I asked for help with "Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball 4", an earlier version of the game which is really broken, unplayable. Even if I'm going to recommend this one because I played more than 20hrs and ejoyed the time spent, it would probably be better to buy the 2018/2019 versions of the game.

The 2017 iteration of DDSPB is a giant leap forward. I love the matchup feature pitting teams from different years against each other. The information is vast on players and as always easily accessible. As a long-time player of the game from version 1 this a nice addition to the library and will get some play on my computer. Now back to my 1984 Rockets with Sampson and Olajuwon.

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 be disappointed.

Hem basketbol, hem istatistik, hem de menajerlik oyunları hayranı biri olarak yıllardır takip ettiğim serinin yeni oyunu yine uzun saatler boyu beni başında tutuyor. Steam çıkışından önce oynamaya başladığım ve Steam sürümüne yeni geçiş yaptığım oyunda NBA ve Avrupa basketbolu takımları yer alırken, bu takımları hem saha içinde, hem de saha dışında her detayıyla yönetmek mümkün. Umarım bir gün bu seri hak ettiği ilgiyi bulur ve bu sayede bağımsız yapımcısı tarafından daha fazla geliştirilecek imkana kavuşur.

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

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.

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 to 100 hours of entertainment at this point, and for the price tag, I feel that it's worth it. This score would be moved much higher if the developers were able to fix the stability issues with the game. All in all, a very enjoyable game!
