Pro Basketball Games by Shot Sports Software

I keep checking here just hoping to read something…update on Frank, on the game, on anything. I feel great sadness when I think perhaps it’s all over.

I think it speaks to the hope we all have that we do keep coming back. It also speaks to the lack of a quality sim basketball game out there — PERIOD.

Have played that other Text Sim Basketball game and every time I fire it up (even after paying for it) it hurts to try to play it. It seems clunky at best and lacking in what JSB offered and still does in sim leagues (not so much in single play).

I would KILL to get a look at the source code of what Frank has and pool together with minds smarter than my own to get it going again and get it out for us all to enjoy.

But for now 15 years and counting. (Wow just typing and reading that makes it seem sooo long).

Frank you out there?

Hope all is well!!!

I know. I’m ready to update rosters to the season end but then I just wonder if I really should or what the future is. I compare JSB to the one other interesting game I’ve found out there and while the other game incorporates a lot of additional features, it makes me feel like I’m having to do so much work and while the ownership, gm functions are nice, the actual gameplay just isn’t as much fun as JSB. As to the other simulation games of the original JSB era, none compare to JSB. The one that comes close in that regard loses big time by having no career functions.

Franck ??? Are you there ? We don’t want the game to die…

You and me both Alfred. I’ve rattled around since the early days when my friend and I were playing statis pro basketball card games and thought “there has to be a way to do this on computer”… go figure, somebody already had!

Anyhow, I am sure there will be a check in and the best of intentions. My only hope is that the torch gets carried further either by the good JSB crew or by somebody they hand the baton off to.
