Due to it being a single (incredibly talented) developer, there isn’t too much info on how to play or what everything means so I’ll try to help. This game is the best basketball sim I’ve played. It uses team chemistry to a whole new level. Each player has potential, but a team of low potential can still compete and here’s why. Each player and coach have a preferred offense and defense. The more you match that together, the more statistical boosts your players get. To change your teams preferences, you use training points, but a more efficient way is to draft, trade, or pick of free agents that match your preferences. With that being said, you still want to try to get players who are relatively young and have high potential. It’s really difficult to do in one year, but over 5 years if you keep your eye on the market it’s possible. I love this because even though it’s not insanely realistic, it works, SO well. Better then 2K Sim, because it take LUCK and TIME, just like the real NBA. That on top of the amazing graphics, this game is actually challenging but so rewarding. My first playthrough, I tried to make a Lebron James, and I succeeded, but my team was all scrubs and because we kept losing I lost my guy and lost all my progress. But I was able to switch my strategy and now after three more seasons I’m sitting at #2 in the East. And if you want to “cheat” there is that option, but you’ll soon learn that it’s more rewarding to work for it, looking at the market and getting the guys that mesh. Who knows, you might get lucky and draft a 5 star that leads you to a championship.
