Baseline Boss: The Basketball Manager

The arena is loud, the clock is running and everyone is looking at you. In Baseline Boss you are the head coach of a pro team, and every decision ends up on the scoreboard.

Your HQ

Every game day starts at your desk, with today's mission, the next opponent and the situation report. From here you head to roster, tactics, contracts, scouting and press.

Roster and starting five

Strengths, weaknesses, ratings and contracts of every player sit in their personnel file. You decide who starts and who waits on the bench.

Contracts and budget

Sign free agents on clear terms. Your budget shows right away what a new signing costs until the end of the season.

Live on game day

The game is simulated possession by possession. You control live:

• Tactics (Control, Tempo or Spacing)
  
• Substitutions with an eye on freshness and fouls
  
• Playback speed

The shot chart, radio feed and scoreboard show what really happens.

League and press

30 teams battle for the standings. After every game the newspaper reports only what actually happened.

A coach with feelings

From thrilled to panicking, your coach shows how things are going, based on results, streaks and the budget.
