DDS:PB2 progressing nicely in beta

One of my favorite PC sports sim developers, Wolverine Studios, has been in an open, public beta on their next game, Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2, for a while now; I must say that the game is progressing nicely.

The most recent beta, 0.9, was released December 13 and includes some feature implementations that, if they make it to the final build, will certainly set a new standard for pro basketball sims. And I appreciate that the developer is taking their time with this title, rather than rushing it to a flawed final release.

I’d love to share what some of these new features are, but since they aren’t locked in for the final release, I’d rather not hurt the title by talking about them just yet… in case they don’t make the final cut.

As far as I know, anyone wanting to save money on the final release, though, can still sign up, pay up-front for the in-progress software, and have a license that will last for the lifetime of the product, even after it’s out of beta and in final release form! That’s more value than the average Nordic Track coupon code!

Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball 2 in beta-testing

Wolverine Studios is now in the middle of beta-testing its next big title, Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 2, a long-awaited follow-up to the title that helped launch developer Gary Gorski’s start-up company several years ago.

I’m pleased to say that I’m part of the open beta-testing team and that the process is proceeding quite smoothly indeed. While it’s a little too early to treat the code as preview-worthy, I do want to put the word out there that this game is under heavy, active development and will hopefully be released sometime this basketball season.

Beyond that, I can’t say a lot due to the nature of beta-testing and disclosure agreements; but I am excited to be in on the open beta and watch as this title comes together. More details, and a preview, soon! What a franchise opportunity for Wolverine!
