For basketball online just Buzzerbeater. I checked Charazay's game manual without signing up and 17 weeks was a turn off. I used to play a fair few football (the world game) managers, primarily Managerzone and Trophy Manager. Dabbled with Hattrick but their season setup and at the time insistence on collecting real names meant I didn't stay.

So to answer the question properly, a few NBA 2k's over the years (12, 18, 20). I only bought 12 (the one where it was difficult to beat anyone off the dribble). 18 came with my console (the less said about that the better), 20 was PS Plus (felt pretty good, though I was comparing it to my previous experience on 18).

The question of course baits another one; have you seen another comeback as wild as this on any basketball game? I can't remember one, and even the IRL Tracy McGrady outburst (13 points 33 seconds) was only a 10 point last minute comeback.

I've played quite a few and really tried sticking with them, but each of them has some major flaws (and a lot of minor ones). BB has a few minor flaws, but nothing major in my opinion, comebacks included. It happens in basketball and is becoming more common, especially in the NBA (almost no lead is safe).

No console games... My first was NBA Live '95. Still hoping that one of the companies makes a reasonably good one without microtransactions, and one I can play as a manager cause that's my favourite part.

The point about real basketball is so true. One of the reasons I kinda stopped watching it to be honest. NBA has turned into a 3-point shootout every game and by tuning in straight into the 4th quarter you don't miss much to be honest.

Almost every game ends within a 10pt margin anyway and like you said, no lead is safe. Some people may like it that way though. I kinda prefer Buzzerbeater how Buzzerbeater has it.

Yep, je suis d'accord!

BB has some crazy comebacks, which is cool, but it's not all that common.

NBA may as well just be called some cheesy internet game, "3-pointer baskets with lots more points than everrrr!"

...or am I just sad cause Mills left the Spurs

Ok, so who thinks they've got a pretty good handle of minute management and is keen to do some coaching? I need some help.
