I built a basketball GM sim called Hoops GM — looking for people to break it and tell me what's missing
Hey all — I've been building a basketball general manager game called Hoops GM and I've finally got it to a point where it's actually fun to play, so I'd love some honest feedback before I keep going.

The idea: you take over a franchise and run the whole thing — [drafting, trades, roster management, sim the season, etc.]. I wanted something that captures the addictive "one more season" feeling without needing to babysit a hundred menus.
Right now you can [1–2 core things a player can do today]. Coming next: [1–2 things on the roadmap].
It's [free / free to try] and you can play it here: [link]
I'm a solo builder doing this on the side, so I'm genuinely more interested in feedback than upvotes. Specifically:
- Does the trade/draft logic feel fair or exploitable?
- What's the one feature that would make you keep playing?
- Anything confusing in the first 5 minutes?
Roast it. Thanks 🏀
