It’s been a long time coming, but from what I hear on the indy PC gaming circuit, developer Gary Gorski of Wolverine Studios should soon be unveiling his newest pro basketball sports management sim.
The game, Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball, runs on Windows PCs and will be one of the most statistically accurate sports sims on the market, when it’s released.
How do I know this? Because Gorski is the guy who made the last title to hold that honor, Total Pro Basketball. While the game lacks the flash-n-dazzle of EA Sports’ NBA Live 2007 or 2K Sports’ NBA 2K7, what the game does well - better than anyone else, really - is keep the results of simmed games believable. Gorski takes every conceivable stat and game dynamic, stacks them up in a virtual truck rack, and drives them into the sunset of a polished, finished game.
Gary’s company, Wolverine Studios, is hoping to release the game sometime soon. It could be January, it could be later. But whenever it’s released, you have to know it’s gonna rob a lot of hours from sports management freaks like me.
