Author’s Note: This review is long overdue. In full disclosure, I started writing this in December. It is now late February. These reviews are all labors of love for me; it is likely not a surprise, especially given the second sentence of this paragraph, that the only payment I receive for writing these is a free game. I don’t say that looking for a handout, but to say this: Unfortunately, life of...[Read More]
I wish I could appropriately commit to things. I have a tendency to either under or over-commit. For instance, for the past few months, I’ve been a burned-out blob on my couch. (Thanks, pandemic teaching!) Recently though, I picked up a Steam Deck. I say it’s mainly to start up a gaming club at my school, a high school in Providence (RI). But that’s only half-true…the ability to play nearly any da...[Read More]
I have a problem. (Okay, I have a lot of problems. This is just about the one I’m telling you about.) I have a problem with my Boston Irish roster. We have the league’s defending MVP in C David Banta (35.8/12/1/6.3). We have another player, guard Andre Askew, who made All-League 2nd Team. As we head into the offseason, both are under contract for at least another year. That’s the good news. Sort o...[Read More]
Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball 2022 is the next version of the basketball franchise that keeps evolving every season. Wolverine Studios listened to their community. They heard the ask of making more parts of the game immersive. Some thought the free agency process seemed to be missing a little something. So Wolverine Studios stepped up to deliver new features and besides and some great new cosmet...[Read More]
When it comes to management games, basketball has long been the sport which has suffered the most surprising neglect. There has never been a consistent franchise with the following or the funding of a Football Manager or an Out of the Park Baseball. Basketball fans instead have endured through sporadic releases from an array of small American and European developers. Often these products have been...[Read More]

So how does Wolverine Studios take their basketball simulation game and improve it? As Walt Disney once said, “There is no magic in magic, it’s all in the details.” The same holds true for ...[Read More]
It is finally here. We have talked endlessly about getting an NBA roster update on #dynasty-manager chat. And now, amazingly, a major roster update for Basketball Dynasty Manager 16. Don’t ask us if there will be a new version of the game, we have no clue. We do know that InczeTigate is busy working on another sports project (ssshhh… Patrick Mahomes, Touchdown!) This is a reminder that...[Read More]
Basketball GM is a free single-player browser-based basketball simulation game by Dumbmatter / Jeremy Scheff. I have been playing it daily for around two years now and the amount of depth, yet simplicity of it, keeps me coming back for more. The work the developer has put into this game really shines through and the constant update and additions truly make it one of the premier games of this genre...[Read More]

With the advent of Wolverine Studios’ latest pro basketball effort, Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball ’20, now currently in the public beta First Access phase, I thought I should take it for a bit of a test drive. I have long championed Gary Gorski’s Michigan-based company and his development over the years has been fantastic to witness. In full disclosure, I need note two things: I have been a par...[Read More]
