# Become the head coach and architect of a basketball dynasty!
For the first time ever, the **Basketball Champions League** is featured in the series — one of the premier continental competitions, now fully licensed with all official teams and players. Manage tactics, finances, recruitment and the locker room — every decision shapes your legacy.
Suit up and take charge of one of 2,000+ professional teams across 90 domestic leagues (including 17 women's leagues). From daily training and match tactics to long-term budgets and facilities, every choice is yours — on and off the court.
# A COMPLETE CLUB & NATIONAL TEAM MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
- Manage clubs and national teams. Full-season control: lineups, tactics, staff and long-term club vision.
- Deep scouting and recruitment systems to build your squad from youth prospects to superstars.
# LICENSES
We’re proud to announce that the **Basketball Champions League** will be fully playable at launch, with all clubs and players officially licensed. The game also features 20+ national licensed leagues from France, Turkey, Lithuania, Belgium/Netherlands, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Austria, Sweden, Slovakia, Cyprus, New Zealand, Norway, Italy and the women's adriatic league!
# FULL REBUILD IN 3D — MORE LIFE, MORE CHARACTER
- All textures and 3D character models have been rebuilt for superior immersion. New hairstyles, beards and accessories (headbands, sleeves, shoes) create unique looks for every player.
- Reworked animations and lighting for more fluid, immersive matches.
- Improved in-game AI with multiple difficulty levels.
# NEW, FASTER UI — ENGINEERED FOR MANAGERS
- A redesigned interface and rewritten UI components for smooth navigation.
- Big tables and lists now load up to 20x faster — find the info you need in an instant.
# REVAMPED CHEMISTRY & MORALE
- Team chemistry is deeper: leaders, influential players and shared history now matter more.
- Players who play together more often develop stronger on-court synergy — but keeping leaders happy may cost you.
***Are you willing to overpay your current leader to keep them, or bring in a new superstar and risk breaking the chemistry?***
# RICHER INTERACTIONS & NEGOTIATED OUTCOMES
Important actions such as transfer exits and dismissals now require negotiation. Explain your decision, handle player reactions — and face the consequences. You may end up with a demotivated player if negotiations fail!
# PRE-SEASON & FRIENDLY PLANNING
Plan friendlies with intent: draw big crowds against established teams or test tactics quietly on the road. Each choice affects income and player morale. Are you willing to risk a heavy defeat (and, by extension, your players' morale) for higher income? These early preseason choices will determine how well your team starts the season!
# CREATE TOMORROW’S STARS — AND EARN FOR IT
Invest in youth recruitment and the draft. Produce the next generation of talent and receive a payout when they are drafted!
# POWERFUL DATAEDITOR & STEAM WORKSHOP SUPPORT
