Pro Basketball (1974 Edition w/1974-1975 Starter Teams)

This is the 1974 edition of the boxed game with the 1974-1975 starter teams player cards; Seattle Supersonics and Kansas City Kings.

If you like to run a fast break or set up a half-court game, press or double-team, Strat-O-Matic Basketball is for you. If statistics are your specialty and you enjoy keeping records of blocked shots, steals assists, rebounds and, of course, all shooting and scoring stats, Strat-O-Matic is for you. However, if you find the above a “little too much” and you prefer a simple, fun shooting game, Strat-O-Matic is still for you.

How is this possible? Strat-O-Matic Basketball is actually two games in one: basic and advanced. The basic game is simple and exciting to play, and the advanced game is the “real thing.” Both versions contain that all important rhythmic feeling of Pro Basketball. And most important—both versions are contained in each set of Strat-O-Matic.

The realism of Strat-O-Matic is uncanny. Even minute details such as rest and injuries and calculated. Yes, even switches occur in Strat-O-Matic Basketball. Imagine your six-foot guard defending your opposing team’s seven-foot center—be prepared for an inside move by the big guy. In addition, the home court advantage is a significant factor in Strat-O-Matic just as it is in the NBA.

YOU are responsible for arranging the starting lineup. YOU must weigh the offensive ability of one player against the defensive ability of another player. YOU adjust your lineup due to injuries, players in slumps, and in hot streaks, in an effort to reverse a losing streak. YOU arrange the substitutions designating the appropriate time to bench, or rest your starters.
