GAME REVIEW:
#1 BasketballZone.net (10) Overall Rate
Graphics: (8) are good, basic colors, easy to read. No player face pictures yet. (being developed right now).
Tactics: (10) are great, you can control individual defense intensity, frequency of 2 and 3 pt shots on offense. Playing style eg. shooter, or play maker, and aggressive. Team Defensive, and Offensive tactics. Fast-Break frequency, Substitute frequency, Sit Starters in blow-out, and Foul in the end if needed.
Training: (10) You can set every under 30 player to their own training program with 4 choices: 1) Athletics-jump-speed-toughness 2) Accuracy-foul shot-2pt-3pt 3) Offense-Drb-Assist-Leadership 4) Defense-Rb-Blk-Steal. All players improve and reports are given 3 times a week. Over 30 year olds have private trainers who try to maintain skills gained during their seasons played.
Game Engine: (10) The best of all 5 sims I Play. Not only do you know who scored but how many 2pts or 3pts that person has so far that game. On all other plays eg. steals the sim tells you who lost it and how many lost by that player, and how many steals the player who stole it has so far in the game. Every play is broken down this way so you are kept current to all players game stats while it happens. eg. If your player misses a foul shot it tells you how many he missed so far in the game and visa versa. Every possible stat. All in 1 easy to read line. Out-standing. Also shot chart, box score, and count down clock between 1/4's.
Forum: (10) Best of all 5 Sims I play. The Mod's and GM's are very very active, and it is organized and easy to find all topics.
Supporter: (10) Abosolutly no advantage is given to supporters and it is strickly your choice how much to donate. Usual safe choices to donate.
Fun: (10) They have many great ways to win in-game money with contests, give-aways, and a recognition program for active managers. eg. of a game- during Christmas at random times when logged in a Christmas tree would pop up on your page if you clicked on it ahead of the other 100's off managers online you would win 10K. There were lots of opportunities to win and dozens of guys would win every time it poped up. etc etc etc.
Up-Coming Improvements: Players Faces, National Team Tournaments, Official International Leagues, Arena Development.
