Alright so i wanted to put in here some feedback i have for the game to hopefully help you with it so let me get to it:

  1. On the show stats screen your selfishness and leadership stat appears twice, not exactly sure how to fix it.
  2. Right now improving finishing and passing is utterly useless i hope you will add some checks for it because right now it just doesnt make sense to not get the relationship boost with coach.
  3. On the same note i feel like when you meet ben in the court you should be able to tell him that you have been training your finishing (and i dont mention training passing because you obviously need more than one person to do that) this would allow you to have different check later on since your player could get up to 10 in finishing.
  4. Besides this mechanical feedback i feel like there should be more descriptions of the spaces and people you see for example when you are in the game at the start you could mention how the crowd is loud or if the game isnt really crowded if thats how you envisioned it you could mention how a close game like that ought to have more hype and while im talking about there should be a little more description about what IS happening in the first game because its like your just trown into a game with no context whatsoever.
  5. There could also be descriptions of your friend ben (his skin color, hair color, eyes, height, and whathever else you can think of), aswell as for your coach and besides those descriptions you could say the coach looks angry or disappointed with the players that have appeared in the tryouts. So basically my criticism is that there isnt much context to the game it feels more like your being trown around the scenes.
    And yeah thats pretty much it, dont take this as destructive criticism take it as a few suggestions to your writing style besides you did say that you were busy with school so i understand that it will take you a long time to actually implement it that is if you do, which i hope you will :wink: , besides that continue the good job you have been doing with the game.

Thanks for the bug note, I can get that fixed tonight. The descriptions is something I haven’t had time for yet as I wanted to get a little bit of the story coded first before fleshing it out just to give us a basis to work from. I do promise that it is something I’m working on and will be implemented soon. I plan to highlight finishing and passing in the upcoming since they feel like throwaway stats at the moment. Very useful notes all around though, thanks for your input.

Will there be an option to be more positions such as Center?

The position wouldn’t have an effect and it’d be purely cosmetic, but I’ll consider adding it.

It could be a smart way to add height customization

I’m making a Magic Johnson/Ben Simmons build if heights included.

Our discord server is now live! (I’m not a professional discord moderator or anything so don’t be expecting anything special) It’ll be a place to be alerted about updates, discuss the game, give suggestions, and ask questions about the author.

I moved the discord link to the description to make it easier for everybody to find, especially first time fans.
