Every time you open the app store, the basketball manager you see either asks you to use your energy to refresh the copy, or lets you draw cards to synthesize player fragments, and even has a VIP level to force you to spend money. I wonder if these manufacturers think players are all idiots? A management game must be made into a krypton gold card drawing simulator. What is the essence of real business simulation?
As a result, I discovered a treasure while wandering around a few days ago, an independent game called "Basketball Manager." When I saw that the developer was not one of the big companies, I raised a question mark in my mind. Then I looked at the charging model: 0 yuan, direct download. It doesn't cost any money anyway, and it's just a waste of time if you get cheated.
As a result, I couldn't stop playing it. Damn it, this is a real basketball manager! 😤
No physical strength, no synthesis of players, no collection of equipment fragments. Your task is to take the team from a bad team to a dynasty, discover new players yourself, and train them according to their characteristics. Some kids have good physical fitness but crappy shooting, so you give them more three-point training; some kids have high IQ but weak confrontation, so you design tactics to let them run without the ball. I can really teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Watching the little transparent kid I hired from the second round slowly grow into an All-Star. The sense of accomplishment is a hundred times better than pulling out one UR ten times in a row.
The game engine is also quite reliable, not a numerically overwhelming one. Tactics such as pick-and-rolls, breakthrough points, and air cuts can really be used, and they are not purely based on combat ability. I tried to use a civilian lineup to play run-and-gun and shoot through the opposing All-Star team. At that moment, I felt that I was playing a real tactical game instead of mindless money 🤯
The only drawback is that the graphics are relatively simple. After all, it is an independent game team and does not have the cool special effects of big companies. But who cares if you get into it? Fun games rely on gameplay and content, not light pollution and recharge entrances.
In short, I highly recommend it to all managers and controllers who are fed up with krypton gold basketball. This game is worth spending time to delve into. Free, pure and in-depth, what else do you want from a bicycle? 👊
