A basketball management simulation focused on team building and drafting.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A meta deckbuilder where engine-building beats the scripted opponent.
Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball 4 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Inscryption leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
