I know this is just the first installment of pocket GM basketball compared to pocket GM football three and there’s so much more improvement needs to be done but this app is really really fun. It’s really addicting just like pocket GM. It’s just needing an improvement in a lot of areas like the salary cap where it doesn’t go up at all and every single time you draft a player by the end of therefore your contract they want the $35.2 million extension for four years and you can only pay so many players because everyone over 80 overall wants $20 million plus so it makes it harder to build a team. I’ve won nine championships, but I had to trade and keep rebuilding the team after a couple of years because the role players were getting too expensive and I had to make decisions on the star players to see if I actually had to cut them or trade them add another thing is the injuries come up in bunches like very high probability of injury for almost all of the players where they’re getting hurt and even after a couple seasons with them being hurt and averaging like five points a game they’re asking for 20+ million dollars, so the app definitely has some stuff to work on. I still love it the same way I love pocket GM. I just wanted to get there quicker and I know that the developers are making sure it Happens.

To get the maximum amount of joy out of this I encourage you to make good use of the edit tabs. Feel no shame because the game itself doesn’t seem to really progress properly, or at least I hope this isn’t intended.

Overall a great game. Very enjoyable and fun, unlike other cash grab games. A couple suggestions: Coaches HOF seems too easy, and PF, C should be able to grab more rebounds.

I’ve played every game since PGM1 Including the college games and they never miss. Even if a game isn’t perfect to start they update constantly and make a better management sim than any game I’ve played on any device.

The game still has many flaws which makes it a bad management game: The development and potential of players is very random; rookies that don’t develop at all while they have much higher potential meanwhile another random player without potential gained +10 in the season Also trades seems to be completely broken; cpu doesn’t send any trade requests and can’t make any yourself.

I have better coaching and better roster than other teams but I will finish 20-62 and have a better roster than the team that finishes 60-20.

It’s a fun way to pass time with casual gameplay, at least initially until the bugs became too annoying. Trades are however a pain to manage since it’s hard to find matching teams to reach almost the exact same value points. How scouting works is very vague too. Drafting is weird as almost all players seem to have peaked before even joining the league. Editing a player you drafted before the season starts make the player return to the future draft pool. Make a typo when editing and any player can disappear entirely. Every single team is way beyond the cap after a season or two so there’s barely any teams allowed to do trades which makes the game more boring quickly.

Overall, the content creator does a very good job. But there are a lot of random glitches and both fixes. Specifically, when you added a player, a rookie to be even more specific, the rookie becomes draft eligible again. This completely messes up the whole point of the game. When you are able, please fix the bug fixes also I don’t know why three team trades are not available yet. Three team trades are the biggest thing in basketball when it comes to trading. This would open up the game even more. Overall, very good but must improve.
