About This Game

Basketball is more than coaching, if you want your favorite team to succeed you will also have to oversee the recruitment of new players and manage your arena to secure new sources of funding for your team. PBM23 lets you be the coach as well as the General Manager of any professional team around the world.

You can choose from 82 domestic leagues, including 10 women’s leagues, from 60 different countries across Europe, America, Asia and Oceania. With more than 2000 teams and 50 000 players it is not hard to see why PBM23 is truly a global basketball management game. Overall, including national and continental cups, you’ll have access to more than 160 playable competitions.

Once your reputation as a coach is established you might be offered a job as a head coach of a national team. International basketball is now more competitive than ever. Will you be up to the task of taking your national team to the top of your continent and then the world?

The user interface has been redesigned, with a complete overhaul of the player page that now features updated statistics and records as well as highlighted player capabilities by profile.

New customisable 3D arenas are coming to PBM23 with enhanced lighting effects for a more realistic look. Pro Basketball Manager has never looked so good - make your arena bigger, more modern, more unique, make it shine and get the crowd cheering. The perfect setting for a successful season!
The crowd will now react to on court events making the games more dynamic than ever!

All players in the game now feature detailed statistics covering their career. You will be able to look at past and present performances from your favourite players.

The editor has also been improved to include more features for a fully customisable gaming experience.

LICENSES

The following leagues are officially licensed in PBM2023 with official names and photos of their players and teams:

COACHING

Coaching is not just asking a player to setup a specific play at a specific time. A successful coach has a set of unique plays that can decide the fate of a game when it matters the most, when the game is on the line! In PBM23 you can create your own plays and call them during the games to take your opponent off-guard. Don’t call the same plays too often though, as your opponent will adapt and try to outsmart you.

STATISTICS

Be it individual players or teams, you have a whole range of statistics at your fingertips which allow you to manage your progress. You can thus check on your players’ performances (past and present), evaluate your own career, or even look back through the archives of the games of any team featured in PBM23.

SCOUTING, TRAINING, FINANCES

Through our in-depth scouting system, you can send your scouts around the world to be on the lookout for the next best players to make it to the top. Train your players collectively, but also individually to get the best results. Improve your club's finances by improving your arena to generate extra revenue.
