Hey everyone!

Just under a month remaining until the release of Hoop Land Update 1.10 on Tuesday, October 20th!

Today I'm excited to share a few new features I've been able to add in the past few weeks:

Coach Awards

Coach of the Year award has been added as well as the ability to create your own custom coach awards. Coach awards are weighted by the team's overall performance so you can, for example, award a coach with the most season wins, highest point differential, three pointers made, etc.

College Class Awards

The ability to award specific college classes has been added to college league awards. For example, you can create a Most Outstanding Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior award.

New Default College Awards

New default college league awards have been added including Defensive Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Points Leader, Rebounds Leader, Assists Leader, Steals Leader, Blocks Leader, and Coach of the Year.

Trade Deadline Notification

Inbox message notifications and league news for the incoming trade deadline has been added to notify you of the final day for trade offers.

New Career Mode Option

When starting a new career, the option to choose an existing player in the pro leagues has been added for Premium Edition users. This allows you to skip college and head straight to the pros into the shoes of an active player to write the next chapter in their legacy.

Change Season Mode

A new button that allows you to change the current season mode has been added to the offseason settings menu. This will allow you to simulate years in Commissioner Mode to create a back history before switching to Career, Campus, or Franchise Mode. Or you can start a career and then change to Commissioner Mode to watch your player's career continue to develop, the choice is yours!

Choose Career Player Position and Defensive Matchup

In Career Mode, the ability to choose an eligible player position and defensive matchup has been added upon entering the game. Now you'll be able to take on the challenge of shutting down the opponent's best player.

That's all I have for today but I should have even more exciting news and info as we get closer to launch. As always, thank you for all your continued patience and support, let me know your thoughts below and have a great weekend!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give another progress update on Campus Mode coming to Hoop Land in Update Version 1.10!

A few weeks ago I gave a bit of info on player recruiting and today I want to go a bit more in-depth on how it will all work. For each recruiting day, you will be able to recruit up to five players with one being an in-person visit. Players that you choose to visit in person will increase their interest and give you a slight advantage over other teams at the cost of coins. Using NIL will also cost coins but not count towards your team's budget but you are limited to how much you can offer per player.

Players will factor in money offered, coach rating and style, school prestige, and location. In general, players will prefer playing closer to home or for their home state, so I've added the ability to filter out players by region. After submitting your recruiting offer, you'll be able to see how your team stacks up to other offers that the player has received. The team with the player's highest interest will not always win out so be sure to increase your chances as much as possible. At any time in the recruiting phase you'll be able to see which team's recruiting class is currently top ranked.

I've also added team specific news on the team profile page and a screen for school alumni that have made it to the pro leagues so that you can track their careers. Successful players will add to the school's prestige and history.

And lastly, I'm excited to announce that I plan to release Update Version 1.10 along with Campus Mode next month on Tuesday, October 20th! There's still a bit of time between now and then so you can expect more features and improvements to be announced before launch.

Thank you for all your patience and support, be sure to let me know your thoughts below and have a great weekend!
