The game now features 3D facilities management. For the first time in the history of PBM you’ll be able to choose between 13 different buildings to increase your income, improve your youth academy or training centre and much more.
In Pro Basketball Manager 2025, you now have full control over your team’s budget, which will be influenced by the sponsors you choose. At the start of each season, you’ll receive sponsor offers based on your team’s performance and reputation within your league. Sponsors will give you objectives that can further increase your income if you fulfil them. But choose wisely, as bad results could impact your budget negatively.
For the first time ever simulated and played games share the same algorithm. It now means that the same results will be obtained whether the game is simulated or played (if not coaching). It will also streamline the tactics and results for games.
We’ve added shooting charts to the game. You can now analyze where each shot has been taken during the games, if your players are scoring a lot on turnovers or fastbreaks.
We’ve also added another analytical tool with the new score evolution graph. You can just look at the score evolution right after each game to see where the momentum swing was.
Where are your players most efficient? Just check the new zone charts for each individual player! This third new analytical tool will give more information on player performance.
Prize money has been added to the game. You can now earn money when you do well in a competition. Another way to increase your budget!
PBM25 will feature a new search popup, just click on the magnifying class and you can search for any player/team/competition/staff member from the game.
PBM25 lets you create your own plays that you can then call during the games to take your opponent off-guard.
Be it individual players or teams, you have a whole range of statistics at your fingertips which allow you to manage your progress. You can thus check on your players’ performances (past and present), evaluate your own career, or even look back through the archives of the games of any team featured in PBM25.
Through our in-depth scouting system, you can send your scouts around the world to be on the lookout for the next best players to make it to the top.
Train your players collectively, but also individually to get the best results. Improve your club's finances by improving your facilities to generate extra revenue.
You can sign, loan or transfer players. Mistakes can happen and you can also fire players to adapt your squad to your needs.
You can choose to play the games in 3D and follow the on-court action, making tactical changes on the fly and assigning your own plays to a player. You can also use the 2D or text mode if you prefer.
