Steam Text Sims

[Young Drachma]

There are a few games on there that appear to be foreign that I've never seen before.

One called Basketball Pro Management 2014

- 4 Female Championships (France, Spain, Italy, Russia)
- Ability to create your own team

- Three European competitions inspired by the format of the Euroleague, Eurocup and Eurochallenge
- North American Championship inspired by the NBA championship
- Playable American Universities (330 + teams)
- Ability to play with the junior teams (5 championships available)
- Recruitment Management (purchase, loans, trades of players)
- Staff Management

- Scouting players for your recruitment
- Objectives to meet for each season (to avoid dismissal or get a contract renewal)
- Room Management (expansion, seats' price, maintenance, animations, etc...)
- Game sheets management
- Training management
- Tactics management
- Ability to create your own game systems (with the editor included in the game)
- Use many game systems already included in the default set

- Game simulation in 2D

The other game is apparently a Spanish game called FXEleven, that was rebranded from the FXFutbol 2.0 title.

Obviously it's not FM.

Anyone played either?

Looking at the steam reviews for Basketball Pro Management would suggest stay away. Looks like the game is incredibly slow, buggy and filled with various errors.

I haven't played it, but I'm not going anywhere near it. I'll stick with FBPB and DDSPB.

It's probably best to stay at from any a sports text sim on Steam that you haven't heard of elsewhere. Other than the big madness like Football Manager and Out of the Park pretty much everything I've seen looks like utter crap.

Didn't want 'em. Was just surprised to see them. Usually we're on top of all text sims here terrible or otherwise. But these flew under the radar.

I thought this game was mentioned in the Steam thread at one point, basically with the same conclusion as here.
