Pro basketball manager 2022 review2/12/2024 ![]() Outside of that, this has all of the highlights of every other version of this game: A fantastically immersive draft show experience, complete with analysis, predictions…in this genre, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any single aspect of any game that is better than this. ![]() Cleaning this screen up to create positional columns, in my opinion, would be a subtle gamechanger, and make this particular screen go from good to totally indispensable. The best comparison I can give to THAT monstrosity is akin to a middle schooler’s closet (specifically, my closet as a middle schooler). When I look at that page, it feels like all the information in my brain. The lineups should be settled into five static columns this would make it easier to see specific positions, and not overwhelm the player visually. The lineups screen, one of the most valuable in a game reliant on on-court relationships, is too cluttered…not with information, but in presentation. More specifically, this is specific to the way information can be parsed with this screen. This is specific to the Insights section (which, as I noted in the link above, I did have a hand in developing). (Here’s a team I do not like you won’t believe what I did to it!)Īlso as I wrote in 2020, there are still improvements to be made. As I said when I wrote about Draft Day Sports: College Basketball 2020, it’s clean, easy to navigate, and full of information. The information you need to play is laid out in easily digestible pieces. It’s not a clickfest in the way previous games with Wolverine were you can easily get to any screen you want from any other screen. The Draft Day Sports franchise received a much-needed UI reboot in 2020. With that out of the way, let’s move forward with my problems. It does no sides of this content triangle–you as the player, Gorski as the developer, nor me as the reviewer–any justice if I provide anything less. I’m on the side of everyone in this community, I believe: I want to see games continue to improve. (Okay, I was the intern but I was still in an official position, and did actual work for the company.) Despite this relationship, I promise you–as I’ve promised him back when I started doing these many years ago–that I will remain unbiased and honest in my assessment of this latest installment. I should disclose the fact that Gary Gorski and I have been friends for nearly twenty years at this point, and that we both worked for. It is through these problems, and finding their solutions, that I humbly submit to you this review of Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2022, the latest installment by Wolverine Studios and developer Gary Gorski.īefore we continue, I do need to do what I normally do when I write these reviews, which I last did in 2018. It’s hard to fault someone whose fourth in the league in rebounding, but my point remains. We were 22nd in blocks per game, and last in rebounds per game. We were fifth in offensive rating, per the insights screen (more on this to come), but 27th in DRtg. Specifically, I don’t like how poor he is defensively. Honestly, this problem didn’t really come about until I looked more at Banta’s scouting report…that’s when I realized I had another problem.) Hopefully, your trust in me as a reviewer is not shaken. (I know, I know: I didn’t mention this second problem at the beginning of this piece. ![]() That leads to the other problem, which isn’t really a problem…but it is. This hurts when three players take up $94m worth of cap (we have $120m committed, it appears). ![]() But the 16-year vet makes over $28m, and I have an owner who refuses to pay into the luxury tax. We have a 38-year-old guard, Austin Yearwood, who performed well last year (15.8/5.0/7.6). As we head into the offseason, both are under contract for at least another year. We have another player, guard Andre Askew, who made All-League 2nd Team. We have the league’s defending MVP in C David Banta (35.8/12/1/6.3). I have a problem with my Boston Irish roster. This is just about the one I’m telling you about.)
