Our choice for top 3 browser basketball games!

#1 Cyberdunk.com

Cyberdunk is the hands-down winner in our review of the top browser basketball games. The Features are too numerous to post here and the support team if phenomenal, often responding to customers within minutes. Cyberdunk allows you to create a number of players of any type...you want to be Kobe Bryant? you can create him...prefer to be Dwight Howard? you can do that too! The possibilities are endless. They also offer the possibility to manage your own basketball team, sign Free Agents, build an arena, set ticket prices and more! Cyberdunk has some competition but when you weigh all the factors, the other games have a long way to go to be as good as Cyberdunk has become in the last 5 years.

3. Simgalaxy's Basketball Manager game

As with all of simgalaxy's sports games, you are the manager and the players are created for you. Scout and draft rookies, sign free agents, manage your finances and lead your team to the league championship. Initially the game takes a bit of time to figure out but the emails sent by the Simgalaxy staff are very helpful to get you started. You can manage a team for one season free but additional teams are purchased via a subsctription service. This game is solid and is geared more for the gamer that doesn't want to spend a ton of time actually playing but simply wants to see the results. We give it a thumbs up for simplicity and functionality and a "meh" for features.

3. Charazay

Follow your matches live and study your players. Train your players to achieve better results. Set your tactics. Buy great players for your team. Win trophies. Promote rookies from your youth team. Become the National Team coach. Charazay is one of the oldest browser basektball games on the web and while it is stable and full of features, we're afraid that it comes up a bit short when it comes to new innovations. We're not saying it's a bad game, it's just doesn't quite make the top two on our list.

That's it for now....check back soon for more updates and reviews and if you have a special request, contact us and we'll do our best!

Charazay Basketball Manager Game

by Alexandru 8 days ago

Charazay Basketball Manager

Initial impression:
Clean but amateurish looking homepage.
Boasts game is in 41 languages and alternative language icons are easy to find.

Registration was fairly easy and painless.

All they require is that you input the following items: username, pw, captcha, country
Pretty basic information but in their efforts to discourage spammers/bots, they require new users to be approved by Admins.
Registration was initially rejected because my choice of country didn�t match my IP address.
If you are looking for a game that you can signup and play right away, this isn't the one for you.

Now on to the basketball game itself.
The game is very good about providing information for the new user via email, a tutorial and a daily ingame message.
Despite the range of help, the site is still very confusing and has taken me a couple of days to figure out what exactly to do with my players and team.

You are given an initial roster and apparently rookies come available from time to time.
You can choose from several basketball skills to train each player and the training takes a week to be completed

As a basketball manager, you are constantly working to put together the best roster and Charazay provides a transfer market for managers to find those key players.
The market has an extensive search feature but the noob will probably shy away from it until they have a better feel for how the game works.

Managers are also expected to operate the team budget including sponsorships, player salaries, coaches� salaries, arena maintenance, staff costs and something called �Temporary�.
The budget page breaks down the budget by current and season numbers.
Your staff can include Doctors, Personal Trainers and Youth Trainers but according to Buggy, noobs should wait until they have a better feel for the game before hiring any of these.

That ends the tutorial and then you are referred to the manual for more information.
The game also has a forum with many different languages represented so your bound to find someone that speaks your language and can help you along.

Overall, I wasn�t impressed with the ease of use of the site.
Despite all the �help� it�s still difficult to figure out what you�re supposed to be doing exactly.
Charazay is strictly a basketball manager game so for those that like to build players and watch them grow, this is not the game for you.

Basketball Player Creation

by Alexandru 1 day ago

A friend and I were talking about how hard it is to find an online basketball manager game that also lets you create your own basketball players.
He mentioned a fairly new game that's being developed called Basketmaniacs so I thought I would give it a shot.
He also mentioned that the developers were former players of Cyberdunk and they decided that they could do it better.

Let's see how they did:

Player creation (yay!), they have it!
You can choose a name, upload a picture (mandatory so have one ready to upload), nationality, height (metric), weight (thin, average, strong...not sure what the advantages of are each).
Next is the skills, "physics", "technical" and "mental"
It looks simple enough with sliders for each skill or you can simply input the number of points you want for each skill.
However, there are so many skills and no information about what any of them does on the site (I did find a brief skills explanation in the forum later on).
Need to decide what type of players to make but it's really confusing...don't want to make a mistake creating a player this early in his career and then have to spend time trying to fix him later.
(Personally, I like the set up in Cyberdunk much better since you can choose a player type with preset skill points so at least you have some idea which skills go together and they explain what each skill does so you don't have to guess.)

I'm going to make 5 basketball players, one for each position....not sure how many you are allowed to make but I will check that out later.
Elapsed time from start to finish for 5 players? About an hour but I'm sure once you have a better idea of how to build the players the process would be much quicker.

I need to put my players in training it seems and the training page is confusing so I will hold off on posting about that until I figure it out.

So far my impression is one of a professional looking website but just because a car looks good doesn't mean it runs good.
We'll see if the engine is as pretty as the paintjob in the coming days.

More tomorrow....
