Wolverine Studios has launched Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball 26 at the official website for $39.99 and Steam with a 10% discount. Those curious about the game can check out a free demo before deciding to buy.
Players take control of every aspect of running a basketball franchise, from drafting and trading to signing free agents and assembling a coaching staff. Success depends on building a balanced team that fits together in skill, style and chemistry. Choose your favorite franchise and experience realistic and challenging AI, where success comes from creating a cohesive roster rather than just collecting the highest-rated players.
This year’s version introduces a new player archetype system that helps identify player types and find the right fit for a roster. The interface has been completely redesigned, offering a cleaner layout and easier access to key information. A revamped game presentation lets players experience the action their way, watching every possession or jumping in whenever they choose.
AI teams now operate under more realistic salary and apron rules, leading to smarter and more varied roster-building strategies. The gameplay engine has also been refined to deliver more authentic results during both simulated and coached games.
For those who want a connected experience, the game links with Draft Day Sports: College Basketball, allowing draft classes, stats and rosters to carry over seamlessly between the two titles. An expanded scouting tracker also makes it easier to monitor prospects for upcoming drafts.
