Next Basketball Sim Review Charazay

CoachCanada,

This week I move from my favorite Basketball Manager Sim Bballzone.to the other ones I have tried and play. My reviews will be mostly positive because I like all but 1 of these 5 Sims I found; that I thought worth trying. This review is on the simulator Charazay.com.

League games and Country Cup matches. National Teams

I will rate it out of 10 in these 8 areas. Graphics, Tactics, Training,
Game Engine, Forum, Supporter Advantages, Fun, Up-coming Improvements.

GAME REVIEW:

#3 Charazay.com (8) Overall Rate

Graphics: (7) basic graphics. Supporters get player faces, easy to find what you are looking for.

Tactics: (10) are really good. Tie with Bballzone for the best; You pick player positions, frequency of looks, player defense and offense intensity, and what kind of shots they look for. Out-standing. Offense and Defensive tactic choices are yours.

Training: (10) you can train all players at once, training really depends on the quality of your coach, a good feature is you can set your young recruits to a development league and then set their traning eg. rebounds, defense, speed the same as for your guys on your main team, and they still get playing time. Another good thing is players are given a skill index eg.200.234 is a good player and even if his skill that you train does not "pop" you see him growing. You can also send all players to trainers to improve their BMI. Fantastic.

Game Engine: (10) is good. Easy to read when you watch games. Descriptive play calling. Shot Chart, Box Score, and Quick Link to current game stats. Games are done very fast with no breaks between periods.

Forum: (8) the players are really active and the Mods as well. Also they use a ticket system to deal with questions and bugs so a reply is assured.

Supporter: (9) there are some advantages to being a supporter. Player faces, more games is one, more stats, set up your own tournaments and prizes. But as far as game-play no real advantage. Usual safe ways to pay. Very cheap to pick up game money used to set up tourneys, friendly matches, games against all-star teams etc.

Fun: (10) They have many contests, It is probably the 2nd largest amount of users off all the Sims I play. Eg. of a contest. Members are asked to vote for the game on a specific voting site and the whole server got some game money for reaching the set ranking. After you get a good coach you are set in this sim to make some noise.

Up-coming Improvements: right now they are raising money for Haiti. Game improvements are team rebounding all players are more involved in crashing the boards, to test the changes they are giving all players a chance to set up their own tournament to test changes, small change to number of blocks per/game. Allot of work being done to keep improvements going.
