Strategy

Building A Team

Different Strategies Are Viable!

Will you be more conservative and bide your time and money until exactly the right moment?

Or, will you be aggressive and go for the biggest opportunities as fast as possible? In Basketboss, either method can lead you to the Hall of Fame. This leads to interesting and dynamic auctions every round!

Keep An Eye On The Money!

If you end up with players that don't bring in enough money, you might get stuck! A bad player can lock you into a tough position where you can only afford a team that compromises your strategy.
