  1. Well below average when compared to other all-text sports games. The interface is too multilateral, while there is a feeling that you have little impact on the simulated games.
  2. The other major drawback is the absence of specific plays that you could call in a given situation during a game. That said, Total Pro Basketball is a very solid offering, and, most importantly, fun to play.
  3. Computer Gaming World

    It believably simulates the pro game, and for a text game, that's the most important thing. [June 2004, p.81]
