Something’s Broken – Basketball Dynasty Manager 16 Review

Weird. Won championship first year, lost championship second year, first round exit third year, no playoffs fourth year. My players are better every year, yet it gets harder and harder to win games. I only draft and develop good offensive players with defensive ratings in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s yet can’t keep scoring down or stop (or slow down) opposing star players. Tried every defensive strategy and defense under the sun, nothing makes a difference. Defensive ratings seem to be empty numbers and make no difference. Also scoring is unbelievably high and game doesn’t track individual or team defensive averages and percentages. I suspect that defense may have been neglected in the programming of the game. Has the potential to be a great game, and the absence of in-app purchases is awesome and commendable. But something is broken. I’ve moved on to other games, but would be happy to come back if the defensive flaws are corrected. Unfortunately, the game hasn’t been updated in a year, and there’s no 2017 version, which doesn’t bode well for future improvements.
