Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 41 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mixed (100 of 144 positive).
Many players find it a big step up from previous versions, praising smoother 3D and improved UI. [1][2][3] Some reviewers say the simulation engine is unrealistic, with broken ratings and illogical player behavior. [4][5][6] Others enjoy it as a solid basketball management game, especially for European leagues and as an alternative to NBA 2K. [7][8][9]

"I really wanted to love this game, but the simulation engine is a complete disaster. It’s hard to stay immersed when the basketball logic is non-existent. Here are the biggest issues: Broken Ratings: Giving an elite Euroleague player like Lorenzo Brown a 59 OVR is insulting and shows a total lack of scouting accuracy. Unrealistic Simulations: In what world do reserve teams (Neptūnas-Akvaservis) win the national …

I wanted so badly a basketball manager but this is just not it. No matter what players you got on your team no matter their stats they still mess up. For example my centers keep shooting 3's like WHAT! Then my PF SF SG are only taking two 3s in the entire game and only converting one. Another problem is the simulation I mean it's crazy that my team is by far better than my opponent and still losing and even if you …

As someone who loves basketball but has slowly moved away from NBA 2K, this game scratched an itch I didn't realize I had. This isn't a game where your controlling players on the court. Your the coach. Your job is to manage rotations, call plays, keep players confident, adjust to injuries, develop talent, and make decisions that impact the outcome of games. I'm currently managing a team in Italy's Serie B on expert …

As a long standing fan of football manager (since 97/98 ) I was keen to test this game. To be honest I am really pleasantly suprised. Love to watch every game represented in 3d and if you use some imagination like u needed back in the 90s the representation is really good. I also like the realistic results u get. Also in terms of stats you have all nicely presented. So for example if you want to check career stats …

Good improvements on the 3D, much smoother than before. The games are much more enjoyable to watch this year. I also like the new UI, looking forward to see the new features in my next sessions.

53 of 53 · most liked firstThis game is not bad, its good, but some flaws are going to stop me from spending many more hours in the game and the only reason i am not asking for a refund is because that the game is being developed by 2-3 guys for years and they deserved some credit for the work they have done but they need help since the game lacks some serious depth. The first flaw that i consider unrealistic and imersion breaking is the number of turnovers playmakers with 80+ drive and dribble have. Against mediocre…

Most of competition formats are bad, i won cup in one season and i dont get to compete in national cup in second season??

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad visuals, inconvenient gameplay, players play as they wish and doesn't matter what you select for each individual player for both deff/offense. You build your management roster selecting very talented coaches etc for you team but it seems like it doesn't has any benefits for the team. Simulation doesn't behave accordingly to your plans and tactics. Incomplete game overall, nowhere near FM. Don't buy it! I wish i had it refunded but too late because i gave it a bit much chance try liking it.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted SO BADLY to like this game. as a lifelong hooper that loves playing Football Manager, I thought this was gonna be the perfect game for me... but wow theres a lot of work that needs to be done. Im halfway through my first season and every loss has counted as a win in the standings and every win has counted as a loss. 60% off is still too much for this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good first impression so far. The new 3D looks nice and is a step-up from last year for sure. The overall in-game experience is also improved I feel. Like the AI behaviour for player signing has improved and the menu navigation is better. I couldn't pin point a specific thing but it feels better.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No WNBA. Trades are almost impossible in NBA as the soft cap is treated as a hard cap. Many female players have attributes that are completely wrong. Stadium sizes and ticket pices need to be improved
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best basketball management game I've ever played! Especially playing euro leagues and teams. Keep it up!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the best basketball manager game out there but also with big margin of improvement
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The most unlogic and unrealistic basketball game there is. The players stats are poor, gameplay is trash too as while siming u can see your C shooting three pointers from half of the court 5 attacks in a row. Also, I love how the game shows kof's and chances for your team to win even if they love to make you loose by 30 points to the team who is the worst in the league and just make the kof's rng. Basically its a coin flip simulator if your auto sim'ing games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than last year more fluid up makes this game a massive step up with mods this game is amazing I’m playing this game because fm 26 is a car crash of a game and this game is less boring than last year’s game this game is 10/10 this year

The SLB is newly added, and its been great providing some feedback to the dev team to make improvments and they have acted swiftly to sort any issues.

Also subs should be fixed i call subs and mine dont happend but opponents does and also please make it so 169 cm people cant dunk its unrealistic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is slow and choppy, not much visible improvements from last year. Please make playing with the USA team optional and add a fast sim option to where you can sim parts of the season.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having a lot of fun with this, big step up from previous games as I understand. Coming from MyNBA in 2K this scratches that same itch. An NBA mod already exists, however attributes and tendencies could use some work. Only changes I would like to see are the ability to change monthly salary to yearly (too confusing) and to be able to sim multiple days at once (I could be missing this feature in the game). The players in game are often too stagnant, foul and turn the ball over too much, but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pro Basketball Manager 2026 is a detailed sports management simulation developed and published by Umix Studios. Instead of placing players directly on the court, the game puts them in charge of an entire basketball organization, where every tactical, financial, and personnel decision can influence the future of the club. It is designed for players who enjoy analyzing statistics, building competitive rosters, discovering young talent, and guiding a team through multiple seasons. With a large…

If you know basketball, you know that a management game where the statistics don't add up is a serious problem. And that's exactly where this game starts to lose me. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's far from ideal. Don't expect anything like Football Manager of recent years. There aren't too many tactical options. The interface is not as intuitive and polished. There are some unrealistic nuances like salaries spread evenly across the year which can become problematic when you don't have games to play and therefore no income. However I've been enjoying the game so far. There are some interesting ideas that are missing from the big mainstream series. You can build infrastructure around…

neutral · AI labelView post →not realistic!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is OK if you keep expectations realistic. This isn't football manager, but still a fun game for awhile especially if you love European basketball. Main issues are the game is too easy and rival team AI is simply not good, if you have a good enough team you can win 95%-100% of your games pretty easily. It's nice for a season or two, but eventually the game becomes very repetitive and not very exciting. It doesn't help that on sale it costs more than a premium game that's on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came over from FM, yes it's a downgrade in graphics but not by a whole lot to be really honest. so far really enjoying the game and the dataeditor is really easy to use. Facepack mod is a must have but as someone coming over from FM it's so much easier to use and download.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the 3rd consecutive year I've stuck with this franchise. There are some things I enjoy and dislike about it, but generally I am more in favor of it, rather than disapprove of it. Pros: The overall manager aspect is fantastic. Once you install the mods that allows you to play with real players and teams is a big selling point. The grand scale of depth of leagues, cups, and rules explained keeps bringing me back. It's also the only game of its kind I've noticed that allows you to see…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy and ♥♥♥♥ ai ui and tactical possibilities and match engine. my 3. year my championship didnt count i didnt get prize money, my sponsors didnt reset and i didnt qualify for 2 euro leagues. And my whole efforts and my passion just gone just like that, complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, if i wasnt a hhuuuuuge sim management nerd i'dnt even play my first season considering the state of the game.

This year it has received some nice improvements, the most notable being the 3D and, for me, the biggest one: cloud saves, allowing me to playing back and forth with steam deck and a desktop. But… The cloud saves don’t work very well when switching between Steam Deck and a desktop PC, because the player face and logos have different save paths (even when not using mods) and don’t sync properly. When playing on a different device than the one where the…
