Hoop Land is a 2D hoops sim inspired by the greatest retro basketball games of the past. Play, spectate, or simulate each game and experience the ultimate basketball sandbox where college and professional leagues are seamlessly integrated into every season. DEEP RETRO GAMEPLAY An endless variety of game options give you complete control of the action with ankle breakers, spin moves, step backs, alley-oops, chase down blocks, and more. Every shot is determined by true 3D rim and ball physics resulting in dynamic and unpredictable moments. BUILD YOUR LEGACY Create your own player in Career Mode and begin your path to greatness as a young prospect fresh out of high school. Choose a college, build teammate relationships, declare for the draft, and earn awards and accolades on your way to becoming the greatest player of all time. CUT DOWN THE NETS Create a school and build your reputation in Campus Mode. Recruit the top prospects coming out of high school and develop your school into a powerhouse program. Follow your player's careers as they get drafted and watch your school's prestige climb as they dominate in the pros. LEAD A DYNASTY Become the manager of a struggling team and turn them into contenders in Franchise Mode. Scout for college prospects, make draft selections, develop your rookies into stars, sign free agents, trade away disgruntled players, and hang as many championship banners as possible. BE THE COMMISSIONER Take full control of the league from player trades to expansion teams in Commissioner Mode. Enable or disable advanced settings such as CPU roster changes and injuries, choose award winners, and watch your league evolve over an endless amount of seasons. FULL CUSTOMIZATION Customize every aspect of both college and pro leagues from team names, uniform colors, court designs, rosters, coaches, and awards. Import or share your custom leagues with the Hoop Land community and load them into any season mode for infinite replay-ability. *Hoop Land offers unlimited Franchise Mode gameplay with no ads or micro-transactions. Premium Edition unlocks all other modes and features.

As a super fan of HLT, the wait for HL seemed like forever but was well worth it. The attention and effort paid to the minutia of little physics details makes for a game that surpasses what one would reasonably expect for an 8-bit basketball game. Having read other reviews, I must say that I’ve been fortunate enough to not encounter any of the bugs others claim to experience. There are some aspects of the franchise mode that are still missing, but I’m either aware or just placing my well deserved faith in Koality’s further development of the game to add them down the line. We know trades will be added soon, which is pretty much requisite for a full fledged league mode. Absolutely NEED and hope for the addition of a simple HOF line in HLT if not something statistically more elaborate. A big specific for me with switching my legacy league over to HL would be the transfer and inclusion of our HOF from HL, which would include individual accomplishments already on the resume of current and soon to be retiring players. For example, I have a player from my legacy league soon to retire, but on the cusp of setting a new record with his 7th championship. I really hope those sorts of statistical details can be incorporated and not lost. My only complaint really, would be that the CPU offense is very basic quite often with little to no ball movement and no attempt to make obvious passes to open teammates. Otherwise… excellent so far and can’t wait for more!

Annoying Thing Happening

Love Game HOOP LIFE!!!!
This game is basically the only game I play on my phone and it’s really like NBA2k but in retro which makes it better. But something happens in the game that is very annoying. So basically this has been going on for a long time but I didn’t report it, but now, I have enough. This annoying thing logs you out of the game, Idk if it’s just my phone or the game but I really think it’s just the game. When it logs you out of the game, it erases the things u JUST did in the game, like for example, right now, it didn’t erase the things I did for the player info, but it didn’t erase to the appearance because I was working on the appearance of the player and THEN it kicked me out of the game. Can you please fix that. And also there’s another annoying thing. It always happens in the skills. After I put the skill in and put the level. When I press the level, it does nothing. But AFTER I refresh the game and join back in it, IT WORKS! And I’m tired of doing that. So yeah, those are the only 2 problems that are annoying in the game. Anyways, this game is very fun and NBA2k like. But I think there should be another cool update like the hair and facial hair update. I think you should add a blacktop for us to play 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. I think that will make the game much more better. Anyways that’s it, I hope ya’ll put these updates I asked for. THANK YOU 🙏 FOR MAKING THIS GAME!

You see this game is not like any ordinary mobile basketball game. You can have your own career mode your franchise mode. If you buy premium, you can get even more modes. The reason why so much is because the creativity and the different types of style it has not being you can only play one thing, if I had to choose, which one would be my favorite I would choose career mode. It has amazing storylines where you can pick your own college. It may not be the same college that you wanted to be, but at least they have a college to go to college next thing is if you buy premium, you get more things to the game, like you can make your own team, you can build your own character. I mean, you can build your own character. You can have him in your own roster for the NBA team that you want to have. You can also look in the Discord when you look into the Discord, you can choose customize builds so you can get your build up to which one you want you could, make your own team/rosters for like the NBA or like actual colleges for the premium though the bad side of it is cost $4.99 which it shouldn’t be a problem if you want premium pack so badly love this game keep doing what you’re doing and great game

Hello I would like to share updates that would make this game more better the 1st is the crowd in the game all of the people in the crowd have the same hair style for the ladies and the boys and also they are all sitting in the same position like nothing has happened in the past game so what you might need to do is maybe put more movement into the crowd so we players can at least play it more realistically like the people should be walking to there seats and people recording and standing up and cheering because right now the people in the crowd is just sitting there in one position. Another update that I would like to be done is how in the world does the players get to the away game? Like yea your probably like “it’s a simulated game” but you should add like a feature of the players on the plane getting to the away game destination and in the fashion tunnel where they get to walk and show the players getting ready in the locker rooms and stuff. Another update that should be done is the players celebrations also when a player hits a game winner in a game the players just put there hands up and down that’s not showing enough gratitude of winning the game the players should be running to the player who shot the game winner instead of them putting there hands up that’s all I have to say. I really love this game please make these your updates thank you.
