And so we have yet another 'manager' sports game for the PC, icehole's World Basketball Manager 2007. We already have Football Manager, but if you weren't quite satisfied because basketball is more your thing, then you're in luck...or not.

See icehole has already released WBM and are now looking for publishers to sign their game. BHV has agreed to publish the game in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and MLS will take care of publishing duties in Greece and Cyprus. So if you don't live in any of the said areas, you might wanna ring up known publishers to convince them to publish the game in your region.

In addition to 64 national and international tournaments, 655 teams, 10,000 basketball players and 1,000 managers, here are some more features you can look forward to in WBM:

* New training system. The managers can now train their players in more detail with 106 different training programs.
* Improved computer controlled managers’ training A.I. Computer managers now pay more attention in squad rotation and keep their players in good condition for matches.
* Improved Free Agent players’ pricing algorithm. Free Agents will drop their price in order to get a job instead of staying for ever unemployed.
* Improved players’ creation and evolution in order to produce more “great” players. The basketball world gives birth to greater talents than before.
* Update tournaments to 2006 - 07 season formats.
* Faster code that cuts down the waiting period between match days.
* More realistic team targets and budgets.
* U.S.A. draft as a special event that will take place at the beginning of every season.
