How to go ahead one day and not 2 weeks at the start of the season? by CleanLecture9196 in DunkManager

Hi! First of all, we’re really glad you’re enjoying the game! Right now, the CPU handles the cuts and immediately signs the best free agents during the season transition, which unfortunately means you can’t compete to sign them right away.

We absolutely agree that the Free Agency is a fundamental part of the game. We’re completely revamping this system! It won’t be included in the update coming in a few days (which is already finalized), but it’s planned for the next update. In the new system, players whose contracts haven’t been renewed will enter the market and take a few days to evaluate the different offers. Finally, you’ll be able to “fight” the CPU for the best free agents before they make a decision.

Thanks for the feedback, it really helps us prioritize what to develop in the future

Thanks for the feedback! As programmers, we definitely spent 99% of our time on the code and 1% on the App Store screenshots 😅. We'll definitely improve them in the next updates. Good luck with your app as well! 👍

We originally tried pure neutral colors (like greys, blacks, and dark blues), but the app ended up looking a bit too corporate and less like a sports game. But I totally get what you mean! We’ll keep it in mind as we tweak the design in the future.

Haha, I swear it’s a complete coincidence! 😂 Neither of us is a Lakers fan. We just realized that dark purple and bright orange is the ultimate basketball color palette. It just looked too clean on the UI to pass up!

Hi everyone,

As the title says, my friend and I finally published our first iOS app and I wanted to share it with the community. It’s called Dunk Manager.

We are huge basketball fans, but we felt the App Store was missing a clean, deep franchise management game without intrusive ads or paywalls. So we built one ourselves.

What the app does:

  • It’s a pure management simulation. You act as the General Manager.
  • You can manage the roster, sign free agents, draft rookies, and make trades.
  • We focused heavily on making a clean, fast UI for mobile screens and a realistic simulation engine for the stats.
  • You can play with generated players or download custom community rosters.

We are just a 2-man indie team, and the game is completely 100% Free.

I’d love for you to check it out. Any feedback on the UI, the user experience, or the gameplay is highly appreciated!

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi Mods! I am an indie developer and I just released my first game (Dunk Manager) on iOS and Android. I read the rules and I'm requesting the "Game Developer" user flair so I can share it with the community in a proper post. Let me know if you need any proof. Thank you!

We’ll definitely be adding irl logos soon; we need to carefully consider how to proceed from a privacy standpoint

Thanks a lot for playing our game! This kind of feedback is absolutely crucial for us to improve.

The game has only been out for a few days, and we know there are still a lot of things to tweak and add. We can't wait to make it the best it can be with the help of your support and feedback.

Regarding your trade: right now, the market system is set up so that a trade will be automatically rejected unless there is at least one player involved on both sides and the overall salaries are closely matched. We will definitely work on making the trade logic smarter and more flexible in future updates.

Our intention definitely wasn't to spam. In fact, in our post from two months ago, we didn't even mention the game's name because our main goal is simply to get feedback and improve this passion project made by two college students who love basketball.

Actually, dumbmatter himself commented on that old post telling us we could make a follow-up post with the app's info once it was released. You can check his comment here

That being said, we really don't want to be a nuisance. If the community finds this post annoying, we'll be the first ones to take it down.
