I love the draft idea and the impact that a GM can have on the finances of the team. However, the unrealistic simulated stats are a huge roadblock right now, but all that repairing that requires is some tweaking by the programming team.
-
A professional product from the ground up, boasting a solid interface and a wide breadth of duties to keep virtual general managers busy from opening tip-off to summertime free agency.
-
Interface is everything in a large-scale simulation and TPB2003 provides pretty good access. It’s not entirely intuitive, but it is sufficient and somewhat streamlined.
-
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.
-
Computer Gaming WorldIt believably simulates the pro game, and for a text game, that's the most important thing. [June 2004, p.81]
-
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.
