Most sports management games treat the coach as a menu. In WE BALLIN’, the coach is a person.
Where it starts
Your playing days are over. Your legacy is not.
You begin at 35 or older with a career already behind you. Maybe you were a legend. Maybe a respected professional. Maybe a journeyman. Maybe you never made it as a pro at all. That history shapes your reputation, your starting fortune and how the basketball world sees you when the phone starts ringing.
Then your second career begins: coaching.
What makes it different?
WE BALLIN’ is about basketball management, but the job does not stop at the final buzzer. You coach your team, develop players, negotiate contracts and sponsorships, manage relationships with agents and owners, deal with journalists and social media, and make choices about your own money, family and reputation.
Characters remember you. An agent who trusts you can make a negotiation easier. A player who stops believing in you can become a problem. Rivals, scouts, journalists, club owners, federations and investment funds form a network you can build — or damage.

This is a pre-alpha
Things will break. Some numbers will be wrong. Some systems will need more depth. That is precisely why the demo is public now rather than later.
Your feedback decides what gets prioritized.
