When you know nothing about managing Japanese basketball, you just throw all you've got and do it anyway.
Yeah, another Kairosoft game where the game designer thinks everyone is a prophet and knows the game mechanics without a proper tutorial. But you know what's good in this game? Gambling.

Description
Gᴀᴍᴇᴘʟᴀʏ
What I learned from the last Kairosoft game is that all of their management games use Japanese locations as inspiration. This game showed us how to manage a Japanese basketball team.
It's a simple yet complex old mobile game that's been ported to PC. You learn the game through trial and error, especially when the economy is so harsh. Believe me, the game helped me so much by giving funds to my team from a local mayor. God, I wish mayors in my country helped locals like that (they never do), but it's impossible. That's the reason this is a Japanese game, full of nice people, unlike the place we currently live in.
Basketball Club Story is full of random numbers. everything is RNG. No matter how good the skills or how expensive the salaries of your team are, they might lose to a local team with no fans. This is probably due to simple programming and technically a mechanic that makes the game unrepetitive and unpredictable. So far, it's kind of addictive but sometimes frustrating.
Gʀᴀᴘʜɪᴄ
Nothing changed or is different—same style they've been using for over 10 years? Well, I respect that and have no issue with it. I'm not some spoiled brat who grew up only with a PlayStation.
Mᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴀʏᴇʀ
No multiplayer content still sucks. There are no friend or global high scores. I mean, I do believe they were pretty successful on the mobile platform and are now trying to milk PC players. Here I am, helping through review to mention this game wasn't a money grab, which technically it was. So yeah, no online content.
Cᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ
No problem using, Keyboard and mouse.
Pʟᴀʏᴛɪᴍᴇ
57 hours? Who put in that much playtime? Perhaps I'm only at 10 hours of gameplay, and I still can't beat the second map. This game has eight maps, each with its own team, and the difficulty increases as you progress. I can see the game offers a pretty worthwhile long run.
Sᴛᴏʀʏ
You create a Japanese team and have them play matches against other teams or join a league where you fight against a certain number of opponents. Build a community, socialize with them, buy land, and create a tourist attraction. Holy cow, basketball in my country doesn't do that! That sounds fun.
What's funny is that the fans of your team range from kids to older people. Imagine in Indonesia, the fans are just a bunch of the most horniest unpopular gals watching their favorite male players. they don't care about any of the things this game offers.

Verdict
Not even surprising, if a Japanese person accidentally hits someone with a truck and the person's still alive, they might still ensure the person doesn't make it (hit him again). It's like they'd send them to isekai. They're not big fans on people with disabilities. Japan's got nice folks, but sometimes their social rep isn't the best.

Since the majority of the player base comes from mobile, of course, they weren't toxic, except for the Genshin Impact and Mobile Legends communities—those are full of trash and racist.

One of my players just hit a clutch 3 from half court to tie the game and send it to overtime, where we won
Hypest gaming moment of my life

there are not many good basketball games out there - if your bar is low, I recommend this game.
Good idle game if you work-from-home

This is one of Kairosoft's finest sports management games. So many things to do to run a successful basketball program, and with such satisfying that just about any management sim/efficiency junkie will be satisfied with the gameplay.

Basketball team management sim, plays similar to Pocket League Story but with a few new things here and there. The fan activities event is out of Dungeon Village. The 'tutorial' is full of mis-translations calling the options the wrong names but you can easily figure out what they actually meant.
This used to have a loading issue that made it take forever but sometime in the last day or so they released an update that fixed it, it loads very quickly now.
I've also found sometimes that my team will just play like utter crap for random games. Then I'll re-queue the exact same team again without doing any sort of training then my team will smoke them. Not sure why that happens.
Regardless. If you like Pocket League Story, good chance that you'll like this one as well.
