Pro Basketball Manager 2017 will also, for the first time, integrate the Steam Workshop that will allow players to easily exchange game content, such as customized databases.

Pro Basketball Manager 2017 will let you take control of your own basketball team, whether you choose a fledgling or well-established club. Numerous choices are available to you in order to manage your players as well as your finances and your facilities! This comprehensive management game offers more than 10,000 players taking part in more than 70, faithfully reproduced, worldwide basketball competitions.
