Pro Basketball Manager 2025

What really made me refund the game was the woefully lack of self-aware developer on the forums. Summary: Question: "Is this game dead? No updates since January.." Dev: "No! Its very much alive, we are just working on the next version." .............. If you aren't supporting the active product because you are working on the next version, then the answer is YES it is dead! The game is 2025 in the title, and isn't being updated anymore in 2025 - in fact, with a November release and January final patch means they are only interested in supporting a game for 3 months before working on next years edition. ---------------------- As a game, it seems to take a lot from OOTP and apply it to basketball while trying to be a lot more accessible to newer players to that style of game. But it doesnt have the depth, and honestly the statistics don't really match up to what you'd get in-game. Actually coaching the games has potential but at least OOTP tries to have the plays on screen match what event took place. In this you don't really see what is going on, it is hard to follow, and the results look silly. Are my guys NOT playing defense or is it fine for most players to shoot deep 3s at a 66% clip? Not worth it for $30 for a yearly release. It needs to take some leaps development wise to justify that price point. QoL things need to be cleaned up, extra button presses to confirm mundane tasks.. I suggest you support a game for 2 years while working on the backend, right now the only attractive reason to buy the game yearly is roster updates mostly. When there is online league support, historical seasons, and different avenues to challenge yourself then that might be worth it.

老实说你们这个游戏都研发那么多代了，还是一个毛坯房（依托答辩）。 最重要的代入感极差，操作上和页游几乎没什么区别，页游也没关系，你看人家棒球模拟游戏OOTP不也是Excel游戏，做得就非常好，沉浸感十足。作为一个体育模拟游戏，至少你一些交互上面的逻辑要人性一点吧？战术层面上也基本等于0。 搞几个冷门篮球联赛的授权不是你卖这个价格的资本。 实在是搞不明白篮球怎么就做不出像样的经理游戏，难道我要为了玩经理模式去打开臃肿不堪的2K？

I think the game is really bad. The developer tries to copy the Football Manager series, however many of the features are just showcases, they aren't really flashed out. For example: you can scout players, but you can only do it one-by-one. You can’t scout many players with one click, so it’s really tedious to do it. You don’t have a shortlist menu per say, you have to click on the bookmark icon on the player list. All the database related actions are extremely slow. I liked the sponsor selection, but it was a bit annoying that there were only 3 offers for all the clubs. All clubs had the same offer structure: 1 (most of the time with the highest value) purely money offer and 2 options with lower fees, but with decent bonuses with conditions. The criteria were totally random, so sometimes you’ll get the same dimension, but with different values. Like having home attendance over 60% and 75%. Having the option to build facilities seems nice, but it didn’t seem to matter. First, you don’t know or see what the other teams are doing, so there isn’t any factual data if you’re ahead or if you’re falling behind. You only see bar chart comparisons with the best and the worst, that’s all. This is important to mention, because if you manage a less affluent team, then you’ll be punished if you weren’t spending all the money on the rosters, but you won’t see any benefits of investing into the infrastructure. These were the minor things, which are annoying, but I could’ve lived with them. One of my biggest issues is with the tactics. You have this attack editor/planner, which I think doesn’t really do anything at all. It’s just a fancy option, which can make the player believe they’re real coaches on the court with small whiteboards in their hands drawing very clever tactics on them. Instead of this I really miss simplified options/tactics to choose. For example: force more driving, shoot from the inside, try to get fouls, force match ups where the player has height/speed advantage. You have some sliders, but I don’t feel I can really fine tune my team’s gameplay. I absolutely hate in-game features or sometimes the lack of it. There are rules when you can substitute players, as in real life. However you have to wait for the same events to switch positions between two or more players on the court, like you have to do it, when you want to substitute them. You can’t really use these substitute events like in real life. If you have a player with 3 personal fouls, and the player makes his/her 4th, then you can’t sub him/her off during this period, if you haven’t pre-loaded the change before it happened. You can shout to the players to calm down or congratulate them, but again you can’t really give any tactical instructions. These are mind boggling bad elements of the game. I firmly believe the 3D match only tries to play out as closely as possible what the game has calculated behind the scenes, so you don’t see any real time gameplay. What I mean is that the game engine isn’t that clumsy with animations, rather the game has decided the farthest player will get the rebound with the most unrealistic ball physics flown over the head of other 8 players just standing by. I played in the Canadian league. There is a Canadian center with decent attributes for the league without a team. He’s 180 cm (5’11) tall, which is even laughable for PG, but I don’t think you can play center in a competitive league so short in this position. My center was 211 cm (6’11) tall. I can imagine that the short guy can score on the big guy even inside the paint, but there is no way that the little one can get many offensive rebounds against the big guy. Long story short, I think most of the time the game compares a few attributes with each other in a really simple manner. The worst offender is the cheating in favor of the AI teams. They don’t play by the same rules. They don’t scout, yet they’ll sign on the 1st day the best players. You don’t even know if they offered more money than you, because it's hidden information, probably for a reason. You won’t even get this in the scout reports. The AI has a terrible roster. Sometimes they don’t have any or 1 center only, sometimes they have 5 or more. I played in the Mexican league, where you can have 4 foreign players in the match squad. All the teams are filled with too many foreign players by default, so the AI doesn't sign Mexican players to have a decent match squad, nor fires/sells the worst ones to offload the balance. The game rarely punishes the AI teams, when they have to use the really trash U21 players with 25 overalls, they’ll be doing just fine. However, I had a decent Mexican playmaker PG with good dribbling, passing and consistency, yet he makes 5-10 turnovers/game, because the AI has a slightly better player. I had never ever played a game where I had less turnovers than the AI team. Many times the AI players/teams will have their game of their life against you. Trash shooters end the match with 56,5% in 3 points or 100% in free throws. In summary, the management part is really simple and too grindy to be fun, the 3D/simulation is way too frustrating to be enjoyed. I don't think there is a type of player I can recommend this game to.

waste of money. dont buy there is no manual or explanation of the game mechanics.

A lot of bugs in game..

Franchement, j’ai été agréablement surpris par cette version 2025. J’avais testé des opus précédents par curiosité, mais là j’ai vraiment accroché. On sent une vraie évolution. Ce que j’ai aimé surtout, c’est la profondeur dans la gestion : il y a de quoi passer des heures à bosser son effectif, ajuster les tactiques ou suivre l’évolution des joueurs. Tout est bien pensé sans être trop lourd. Le jeu est encore perfectible sur certains détails (comme tous les jeux de gestion), mais globalement, il tourne bien, les menus sont plus clairs qu’avant, et surtout on se prend vite au jeu. Si vous aimez le basket et que vous cherchez un jeu où vous pouvez vraiment tout gérer, foncez. C’est une belle avancée pour la licence et ça mérite d’être soutenu !

Garbage. Some search features get stuck when adding or removing players. It's a complete money trap. Are everyone doing this idiots? The tactics are practically non-existent. You can't even search for players. Haven't you ever played CM 01-02? I'm using it as an example because it's old. It's infinitely better than this game. The idiots of the past only added two or three training settings. There are tons of different training options. Well, these idiots did this. They clearly have no understanding of gaming technology. The people who made this game are a bunch of idiots who don't understand UI design. Mouse scrolling doesn't work on the player search page, and you can't even continue the game with the keyboard. You can't even create your own tactics. Instead of grabbing and dragging, they've tried to force games with a stupid play function. Even that sometimes slips. The pass goes where the player isn't supposed to. So, it's garbage. Anyone who likes this has either never played a game in their life or are complete idiots.

with license mods for all leagues this game is really great

Hola, quería saber si alguien podría ayudarme porque estoy desesperado. Estoy jugando con un mod de Pro Basketball Manager que contiene prácticamente todos los jugadores de hoy y de ayer, y me gustaría poder usar algunas leyendas para jugar como si aún estuvieran en activo. Tengo a los hermanos Gasol en Girona. Creé a Marc Gasol desde cero, pero el problema es que Pau Gasol, que ya está incluido en el parche, aparece como retirado. Al editarlo, elimino la opción de retirarlo y lo guardo. Sin embargo, al volver a consultar el estado del jugador, sigue apareciendo como retirado. Esto ocurre con todas las leyendas del juego (Tony Parker, Duncan, Bosh, Nowitzki, Felipe Reyes, O'Neal, Stoudemire). Me he dado cuenta de que cuando he puesto a más de cien en diferentes equipos, simplemente no aparecen en el juego. Es muy frustrante porque no entiendo qué debo hacer o editar para solucionarlo. Espero que me ayuden, por favor.
