Basketball Agent: Manager Sim is a deep strategic simulator that explores the behind-the-scenes side of professional basketball. Instead of controlling a team on the court, you manage players’ careers and build your own reputation as a sports agent.
The Road to the Top
You start from nothing — no connections, no starting capital, and no big name. Your goal is to discover promising talent, sign contracts, and gradually guide your clients through national and international leagues toward the highest levels of the sport. Drafts, negotiations, and sponsorship deals matter far more here than the final score.
Gameplay and Strategy
The gameplay is entirely focused on decision-making. You must choose:
Which league is best for a player’s development?
When is the right moment to take a risk and enter a rookie into the draft?
Is it better to slow down progress in favor of long-term stability?
Your reputation unlocks access to more talented athletes, and every success or failure has a direct impact on your finances.
A System-Driven Experience
There is no manual control of matches and no reliance on visuals. The entire experience is built around analyzing stats and applying management logic. This makes the game especially appealing to players who value strategy and systems thinking. Your ultimate goal is to build a sustainable agency empire and retire on your own terms.
Accessibility
The game’s interface is well optimized for use with VoiceOver. Navigation relies on lists, buttons, and clearly structured text-based information. This allows blind players to fully enjoy the experience by focusing on what truly matters — choices and their consequences.
Basketball Agent: Manager Sim is a rare example of a sports game where basketball is felt through economics and personal drama rather than visuals. In this world of influence and risk, victory belongs not to the fastest, but to the most forward-thinking.
