In this basketball sim, you, as a franchise owner, are in charge of all aspects
of your team. This includes the management of your teams finances as well
as the players.
Players
You can sign, release, negotiate, trade, train, bench, place
players on the disabled list and more! Each night, basketball games are simulated
based on the settings and personnel you choose. Each day you will be able
to login and analyze what happened the night before. You can then use this
information to modify the sim and correct shortcomings in your squad. You
can also try to take advantage of holes in others.
Front Office
Money makes the world go round and that is true in
the basketball sim 
universe
as well. You will need money to make your players better, scout other teams,
offer players bonus' and keep your front office going. That is where the Front
Office Section comes into play. You need to set your ticket prices so you
make the most money without scaring away paying customers. You will also need
to buy concession and merchandise contracts to make money. In addition you
will need to buy advertising every day to make sure people know about your
team.
Perpetual Game
When we say that Franchise Basketball is a perpetual game we mean that it never ends. The game is a marathon rather than a sprint. Most teams that exist in the game have been around for many seasons and new users take over a team that has a history. Players, too, have historical information and you may follow them throughout their career. Rivalries are forged between franchises not only on the court, but also when bidding for free agents and other in game competitions. Although winning a league championship is the ultimate goal, building your franchise from the ground up and keeping them competitive season after season is the first step to getting a shot at the title. To do so you will have to negotiate player contracts, sign the right free agents, draft well, and even develop talent on your team through training.
Fantasy Basketball?
Franchise Basketball isn't fantasy basketball. You are not a slave to what real life coaches and players do. You get to make all the calls yourself. You run the team. When the games simulate each night you have the ability to impact the outcome, not just start real life players who you think will have a big day. This internet basketball game allows you to be the general manager, coach and owner!
