5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a terrific game, November 22, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Season Ticket Basketball (CD-ROM)

I write simply, because the interface is so simple, you don't need a manual, like one reviewer complained that the game was lacking. The interface is so easy and simple to operate, yet the game is very in-depth. It uses many NBA rules such as the mid level and low level exemption free agent offers as well as Bird years in free agency and trading restrictions, just like the NBA. The game is tremendous for sim fans, and coaching is a blast too. And like another reviewer said, you can import NBA team rosters as well as NBA team logos easily. In addition, there are many online leagues so you can play against other people. The HTML is reliable and nice to look at on a web page. Overall, it's just a tremendous game with a lot of room for adaptability and playability over a very long period of time. A terrific product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Passable for someone looking for a NBA sim, April 19, 2003

First let me start off by saying that this is a game for sim fans only. If you are looking for a game that requires a game pad then look elsewhere.

With that said let me move on to the review. I tried to like this game. I am a big fan of sport simulations and I have been looking for a good basketball sim for sometime. With the success and high quality of Season Ticket Baseball under their belt I was hoping that Infogrames would succeed with this title. Unfortunately the game never quite grabbed me. First off, the lack of a true manual, even a pdf on the CD, is an unforgivable omission. The "manual" provided is nothing more than a sparse help file. The user interface was annoying from the beginning. It is a window driven interface, which is fine but it doesn't allow the user to keep multiple windows covering different aspects of the game open. Printing the player ratings is non-existent. The effect of changing coaches seems to be negligible. Moving the franchise is a tedious process.

Trading is horrible. This is mostly because the game sticks to the NBA salary cap rules without allowing for multiple team trades. In real life if there is going to be a big trade it usually involves several teams in order to get around the cap. As for player contracts, you can't give an extension to a player until after the final game of their final season with the team. That is totally stupid. You have almost no feel for whether or not you are going to retain a player so there is no information to use to decide whether or not to trade someone. I could ramble on about this but I won't.

As I started to write this review I was going to give the game three stars but after recapping all of its problems I realize that it barely deserves a 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars a pretty good game, October 20, 2002

i enjoy playing this game it is not as good as the baseball game but alot better then the football game. the sim is the best part of the game the coaching part isnt that good. the trading is hard but that makes it even better and also ur team might get bought by another owner then u have to relocate ur team. playing with a salary cap is tough to work around but all in all it is a good game and i enjoy playing it alot. so i recommend to buy it.
