Why Court Master?

You open a basketball GM game. You see your roster. You sort by overall rating. You sign the highest number. You simulate the season. You win or lose based on a number you didn't really earn.

That's most of them.

There's no scouting uncertainty. No real consequence to roster depth. No sense that a decision you made in week 2 is why you're losing in week 14.

I wanted to build something where the simulation actually reflects your decisions over time - not just your best player's stat line.

CourtMaster Sim is my attempt at that. Full season simulation, roster management with real consequences, and a GM layer that rewards thinking 3 moves ahead.

It's free and runs in your browser - no install, no account needed.

Curious what mechanics other people think are missing from basketball management games. What would make a sim feel genuinely realistic to you?
