Pro Basketball Manager 2026 news & patch notes

Hello everyone,

We’ve just released a new update that improves the format of European League 1. From now on, winning European League 2 will give you a chance to qualify for League 1. We’ve also added an automatic qualification system for teams that reach the playoffs, with a fallback to the previous method if needed.

On top of that, we’ve fixed some bugs related to mod paths. If you play with mods on multiple computers, everything should now work smoothly—just make sure the mod is downloaded on each device.

Items marked with a ːsteamthisː will require starting a new career to apply.

Full changelog:

• Mods now load correctly when playing on different computers with different paths (e.g., switching between Mac and Windows).

• Fixed a bug where the logo wasn’t refreshed properly after quitting your job.

• Added a priority system in the qualification process (e.g., European League 2 champions can qualify for European League 1).

• In European League 1, teams that reach the playoffs will now qualify before champions of other competitions. ːsteamthisː

• Players can no longer be drafted multiple times in the American League.

Hello,

The previous update of the game contained a regression in the french league 3 and 4. Most games would end up with a team forfeiting due to an issue with import players rules.

We've fixed the problem in this update, it will require a new career to be fixed (if your career has the issue).

We've also released a new dataeditor which should fix issues around mod duplication and improve the scaling of the editor on big resolutions.
