Long description
Dawgin is a free-to-play basketball management game that runs in the browser and can be installed on a phone. You take over a club in a persistent online world that keeps its own calendar, whether you are online or not.

A manager runs the whole club. You pick the squad, set the lineup and the tactics, and watch your matches live on a running clock, calling timeouts and making substitutions as they happen. You negotiate contracts with your players and their agents, work free agency, trade with other clubs, and bring young players through your academy. Decisions come to you as they would to a real manager, from sponsors, fans and the press, and squad registration and foreign-player limits follow the rules of each league that uses them.

The money is part of the job: tickets, sponsors, payroll and facilities all feed the club's books, and you can earn your way to buying a club of your own. Realism is the point. The match engine is calibrated against published league statistics such as pace, shooting, turnovers, rebounds and fouls, the economy follows real salary-cap and prize-money regimes, and every figure the game shows can be opened to see where it comes from.

Open today: Europe and South America. In all, 978 clubs play in 69 leagues, on a season of 42 game days over 6 weeks. The other clubs are run by managers like you or by computer managers that scout, sign and trade for reasons of their own. Where the real league has playoffs, the world has them too. Player portraits and club badges are generated and show no real person. Dawgin is designed, built and run by degriz in Slovenia.
