The Final Basketball Sim Review and Winner Bballzone.net



CoachCanada,

I decided not to write about the Sim I did not like because there is a team of developers working on it. They also have other sports Sims that are successful. So I will try them another time and see if they listened to the many suggestions they are receiving.

Basketball Sim Review Summary.

***********************************

My Overall Rankings:

1) Bballzone.net

2) Buzzerbeater.com
3) Basketsim.com
3) Charazay.com

These 4 are simply the best I have found so far. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. All are worth trying and once you have your teams set-up, and you understand how to get your team's players to train. Find what offense and defense are your strengths. How to scout the opponents. You will be ready to win some titles. After the initial time needed to learn the basics it takes a small amount of time per/day to keep your teams improving. And who knows you could be running your countries National Team eventually.

Graphics winner:

1) Buzzerbeater.com- free player faces, and the whole site is nicely done; to bad about the forum.
2) Bballzone.net- with player faces in the works, detailed user pages; and the best forum format.

Tactics winner:

1) Bballzone.net- the only Sim where you can set to double team. All the settings you would want.
2) Charazay.com- team game broken down to control the individual. Everything but double team option.

Training winner:

1) Bballzone.net- all players train. Many options to choose from. Private trainers free for over 30 players.
2) Charazay.com- all players train. Nice player skill numerical rate. But costly to have trainers.

Game Engine:

1) Bballzone.net: complete current player stat line with the play description, clock between 1/4's. And nice team comparison after game. Full game chronology to look through as well.
2) The other 3 are also very good.

Forum winner:

1) Bballzone.net- no comparison. the format, set-up, easy to find topics.
2) The other Sims... I have no idea why they use the formats they do. I have been in a guild in different RPG games and we decided to set up a non-game forum and had better easier to use forums than the one's offered by these Sims. Takes 5 minutes to set up a basic forum.

Supporter winner:

1) Bballzone.net- no advantage in any way. they are working on incentives to entice you to become a supporter, we will see how it goes.
2) All the others give advantages to supporters, be it more games, stats, trophy rooms, player faces, uniform choices etc. But these games are for profit so it seems fair to me. No advantages in game-play that are measurable to the normal player, but there could be small advantages in player training etc. Who knows besides the developers.

Up-Coming Improvements: All the developers in all 4 sims are working hard to improve their product. And the online gamer is the benefactor.


Fun winner: All these Sims are fun, and if you like basketball try them. I lean towards Bballzone.net because off their Christmas Tree Promo, And overall well thought-out game.

Bballzone.net the only game where you can **name and pick the position of your franchise player**. New Season starting in 9 days. Own your Team NOW!
