World Basketball Manager (WBM) is a basketball strategy game. It uses the
same gameplay principles as most soccer management games do. Entering the game,
the player creates his manager profile and he is hired as the general manager of
a basketball club and his task is to improve the team’s performance by analyzing
the facts and making the right decisions. He controls the various club
departments funding (medical, training facilities, youth academy), transfers,
contracts, training and of course when the match day comes, he will have to
select the team lineup, create the most appropriate strategy and find the way to
victory by countering the opposing manager’s plans.

players and administration. Also score that ranks him among the world's
managers. And later on, job offers - even national teams!
