International Basketball Manager 22 Reviews

Good game, maybe need little corections, but very good manager. In future they need maybe include National temas and OLYMPICS, WORLD AND EURO CHAMPIONSHIP. Tfhis is only thing I need

Big improvement from the previous version. The graphics have been fully redefined and modernized, and the game is more stable now and user-friendly now. Best basket manager in the market!

Unpolished and contains lots and lots of small issues that really add up.

Very much enjoyable with many licensed Europe national leagues and Euroleague. It's not very advanced in terms of customizable tactics but still fun.

This game is BAD. The developers use the name basketball in their title and then treat the customers as fools. Where do we start with this nonsense game? No editor, missing lots of leagues & continental competitions, no 3D engine, awful AI team building, no tactics creator, no college basketball, unrealistic transfers, basketball teams not following any instructions at all, completely stupid player attributes (giannis has 93 out of 100 rating for three point shots, do any of these devs watch basketball?), no depth to team finances, totally unrealistic crowd attendances (every league and every team is almost 100% capacity every game...come on.) And there is much more. This game is a mess, a total mess. I believe the team behind this game have no idea about basketball and have probably never watched a game in their life. Don’t be a fool like me and buy this game because it says basketball manager, you might aswell flush your money down the toilet. This is one of the worst management sim games I have ever played, it has a nice looking user interface but there is no depth or substance to this game, after about 30 minutes of playing you realise it makes no sense and the game becoming so boring, it’s a chore to play. Developers and admins are arrogant and dismiss any suggestions to improve the game as you being rude. Final words...don’t buy.

Okey so its a good basketball manager game. The match system is far the best from the basketball manager genre. The training system is ok too and the whole game in avaragely is great but for god sake the transfer system... my god... i never met a good basketball manager game where the transfer system is working... In Pro Basketball Manager the AI always buying trash players for insane amount, WBMX the AI never sign new players just extense the contract no matter if its a trash one or not and the FA market is full of great players but they sitting there for years ... and this game got the same issue as it was in their last IBM game that the AI only accept (no matter how well knowed your team and no matter whats the date) horrible high cost contracts and you can go bankrupt easily and the second issue about it that there is almost no Free Agent. In the Basketball world ( atleast in EU ) its rarely happen that a team buy out a player mainly in less richer region... its not FIFA... I played more then 3.2h . I dont know why the steam show this no. of played time. I hope they will developing that game not as they did with IBM which was a bust because of they abbadoned it. Oh and not mention the bugs... wait with this game for a few patches.

What it need is mod support for NBA team and players names as we know is under Licence.

Do not buy. This is not even in Beta stage. Game is far from finished. Even simple basketball mechanics (such as making more than 1 sub at a time, or changing your line-up on the go) are not in the game. Sometimes I could not even sign a player even If I had the budget to do it (and everything with a player was agreed on)... This should be an alpha develepment invite only play test kinda thingy and not sold for 19 EUR a piece. I feel I had to pay to test the game and then try to tell the devs, that basic basketball tactics and mechanics are not even in the game. Wierd. Re-Review few months later: no real upgrades. Absolutely not worth buying. Dont get me wrong, would love to support this kinda project. Been playing sim managers for all my life. Dying for a good basketball manager game, hopefully one day this will become one. Re-Re-review: Yes, I know, Im desperate for a good basketball manager. I played additional 39 hours and this is still broken, pre-beta game. Im not sure what kinda crack others are smoking, but this game should NOT BE SOLD.

I believe it has everything a basketball fan is looking from a manager game...PLUS real names, teams, competitions which is excellent for competitions like Euroleague, Eurocup and the most known european competitions like ACB, Greek Basket League etc..

This "game" has more bugs than can imagine. This product has a massive potential but it will take a lot of work from developers. Things I noticed: 1. With handful of leagues available to choose from it's far from being international. Developers hide behind licenses, but it is possible to have more leagues as other basketball manager games prove. 2. No editor and steam workshop option. 3. No champions league and europe cup. 4. The game takes time outs or makes substitutions by itself even when auto subs are disabled 5. Only 1 substitution allowed at the time 6. Text commentary or 2D view is not matching what is actually happening in a match. 7. No subs between quarters 8. Its not possible to change your tactics during the match. Only during time outs 9. Scheduling issues when you have matches 3 days i a row. its impossible to keep players fit. 10. Match results are unrealistic. Scores are far too high 11. Statistics in players menu very basic. That's just a few examples. Game definitely has great potential, but it looks like it is very early stage of developing. A lot of work has to be done by developers before game will be playable. So far I would like to warn fellow gamers, this game is far from being finished.
