Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball

Gary Gorski (Wolverine Studios), developer of Total Pro Golf, is working on a pro basketball simulation titled Draft Day Sports: Pro Basketball. I'm in the beta test, and Gary is adding some interesting features to liven up the sports text-sim, including a huge improvement in how the draft is presented. He's put together a video on the draft presentation and you can see it here.

Basically, he's taken the actual ESPN broadcast approach of the real draft, complete with multiple announcers, and modeled that in the game. It's very, very impressive in a genre that rarely focuses on presentation.
