The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players call this the best basketball management sim, praising its realistic stats and deep draft where late-round gems appear. The new economic system makes maintaining a dynasty tougher, and the game runs well on low-end PCs. Most bugs from launch are fixed. A few find it slow or lacking real-world updates.
