Hoop Land Reviews

The game is literally the best basketball mobile game I ever played in my entire life only reason why those three stars aren’t five, due to the fact y’all just release the greatest beta updated I been waiting for every since y’all let it be known it was coming with the next update. That’s the mycareer update I won’t lie I had zero expectations going into the mycareer game mode due to it being an mobile game didn’t expect anything good or exciting was worth while regarding it. Once I played and seen we can play in high school, which I am slightly disappointed we only get to play one high school game I understand to speed the process up to get drafted especially since y’all allow us to play a full college season not sure if it’s multiple but I’ll love to have the option to have more high school game. Currently their a glitch going on maybe it just for me but I try every method I can think of to fix it nothing works, I even started over twice and still ran into the same issue but as soon as I get to my first college game and we get an dead ball the ref glitch’s and never inbound the game and their nothing I can do about but sim the game. Even sim the game doesn’t work cause the following game I play nothing else works and it’s extremely frustrating and I would love for it to be fix immediately cause I invested money in y’all game and I wanna play badly!

I know the game is a good game and I’ve been waiting for the season update for a long time. However, the update is very disappointing only because of all the bugs that came with this update. When I get fouled the game just stops working completely and when I restart the game the other team gets ball back without my free throws. There’s also this weird shooting glitch where for one player on the game instead of holding it and letting it go on the green, I have to tap on the green. Free agents and trading is even worse. I can’t even use the player I signed because of the bugs and overall the game needs a lot of tinkering. I still rate it 3 stars because once the bugs are fixed I this game will be a great basketball game.

Big fan of the game, I play quite a bit but there are a couple things that make me upset, one is near constant crashes whenever I simulate. Just about every other sim my game closes me out of it, I’m not sure if that’s just a me problem or if that happens to other people, or maybe it’s caused by my custom leagues. That is a serious problem I run into every single time I sim. Also another is how poorly the simulation allocates minutes, it’s terrible and something I’d like to see improved in future updates. Let me be the first say however the gameplay is great it’s just simulating is currently a nightmare and needs to be improved badly

I would really like that they could between 12 to 10 min the game per quarter since it is very short and although the game is very good I feel that this will give it a little realism in this part the game is very complete. But it would also improve the area of them bone coaches that can change their characteristics and add more plays would improve more the way one captures rebounds because it is very difficult to do it by yourself and much less in 6 minutes taking 10 reb it is almost impossible for me I know it is very tedious to improve the Game much more but he has something super good in his hands. I would also add a collage career mode and with that I think the game would reach the highest possible downloads.

I like the game and all but there is 3 problems that I’m facing with this games needs to bring more hype to the crowd when the home team make a bucket and also maybe 🤔 litte more hype for the away team and also you know the brodcast that talks while the game is going? Yea you guys should more talking behind the brodcast instead of it being boring and just playing with music and the crowd doing litte hype and there is one more problem I’m facing with why don’t you guys put fake names and dumb names to the players? Like who would name the player Guy Chug? So could you guys please make the hoop land more like a realistic NBA game thanks 🙏

I’m not asking for it be similar to something like 2k but I would be great if players were more involved when playing defense and if a player blocks a shot it should go backwards instead of there being a chance for the shot to go in another thing is there are small amount of bugs such as players doing the same crossover and for it to be slightly more realistic just because a player is hot doesn’t mean they should be able to make any shot(specifically pg) you can easily go at least 10/10 even on all star and vise versa for when a player is cold they should eventually make a shot and not have to be wide open so they can finally make a shot

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!

This genuinely is the best game for basketball and even sports fans who want an NBA 2k type game on their phone. There’s even no ads the only in-app purchase is premium which is the only premium version of a mobile game I have ever even considered getting. This game includes a franchise mode in which you can take control of a team and rebuild from the ground up. My only complaint is that CPU teams usually never lose their star player so usually the best players stay on a team until they retire. But otherwise it is a great game no other game can compete with right now.

I wanna to start of by saying that career mode so far is super great but I have some ideas that I would love to see. These ideas are kinda from College Football 25. I would like to see a weekly agenda with GPA, leadership, and other things like that. I would also like to see more playing time in when there is a blowout happening. If you could add Coach trust and work your way up to a starting Job. A little mini show of the selection show for march madness. I top 25 system just like the actual CBB system. These would make the game better and a more detailed and advanced game. All love!!!!!

Locality has made an amazing game once again that is really in depth and is better then something that the likes of EA or 2K would put out there are an endless number of feature that all are really well done I do have 1 suggestion and maybe that’s something like a rivalry meter that would increase the more you play a team in the playoffs or the more teams win championships like how everyone hates the Yankees maybe this would lead to high rivalry games having more fouls a all time score board between the two teams or special news stories when one wins just a suggestion thank you for the amazing game

Huge fan you know how it go one easy quick lil update just add like in hoop league tactics when you start a season players all time scoring stats show, but in hoop land you create the all time scoring list the first game you play or simulate. Maybe add a option for fresh new created stats when you start up a season or give the option if you have the nba roster n wanna see like lebrons 40,000 points and now i can pass that. Ik you get the concept of what im saying by now but yes just a quick update adding that it you could even if it just creates random all time scoring or assist leaders like hoop league tactics thats perfectly fine

This game will definitely go down as one of the best sports mobile game ever made in the future. The potential of this game is high but as of right now the game feels like a beta. If you’re someone that likes basketball you should definitely download and support this game and join the discord community. I would give this game roughly 2-3 more years to be fully completed with koality adding things that will make you enjoy the game more but be patient. Koality is a one man team and it’s incredible that he’s made this game on his own. If you played his old basketball game then you would know this game is an huge upgrade so please support this dev because this game is special.

I absolutely love this game, I’m a huge fan of all koality games especially prizefighters 2 I came here to rate this game 5 stars and to see if could make a small suggestion. Can you please put “playoffs”, “finals” and “play in tournament” on the courts during the playoffs I feel like this would be a small yet fun addition to make the playoffs courts a little more unique then the regular season ones maybe you guys could even make the crowd wear matching colors like in real basketball playoff games but that detail is optional I really just want the lettering on the courts and I honestly feel like this would be a quick and easy addition so please consider .

I love the way you think in this game. It’s so much fun to play with the game simulation but there was one issue that I tried the beta version of career mode and it herp derp with no way to shoot the ball in the practice session and it was infuriating and frustrating for me because it felt total garbage and was a waste of time to find a shot that was too much for the game and I don’t want that to frustrate me again and I mean again but it was fun to play with different customizations and I was able enough to get a better experience. Imagine if you made the entire sport system quickly enough, I would be able play it out there in the future.

This game is awesome! I’ve been playing it for almost 4 months and it’s really well made. There is only one thing I keep running into and I don’t know if it’s a problem on my part or a bug. I’m playing with Oklahoma and every single game my coach calls all of our timeouts before the 3rd quarter even gets 1 minute in! It’s super annoying especially in the late game when the score is close and I just don’t have a single timeout, so I’m asking if this is just me or if there’s some way to stop it or if my coach is just not great. But other than that I haven’t ran into any big bugs myself and this is one of my favorite games! Especially with all the new updates you guys keep doing!

When on franchise mode and I want to play college mode I press play and it goes to the pro league. That is the only bug that bothers me because I really want to play college mode on franchise btw it’s a really great game but I recommend reading the reviews first. Also another bug about this game is that when I am warming up before a game in shoot around mode when my one of my teammates airball so bad it goes behind the goal it glitches behind there so when it goes behind there my teammate runs in place on the front of the goal trying to get the ball from the back of the goal so while they do that I try to get the ball but I can’t because there is something that blocks me from going behind the goal. Other than that this game is a 5 star

This is genuinely the best bball game out rn and I definitely recommend to all gamers. First game is gonna be hard but after that you should be warmed up enough to turn up the difficulty and beat every team. Speaking of difficulty, I feel like there should be one more difficulty option added to the game. I just dropped 81 points with one player in the 6 minute game length and the AI cant stop my 3’s. Also fix layups somehow cuz im lowkey tired of whiffing them more often than 3’s. If i’m doing layups wrong please respond🤞🏽.

Update: Game really fun but i still need that extra difficulty + make it easier on the AI to get passed the half court line because if i wanted to i could just get the ball with an easy 8 second violation everytime and it ruins the experience a little

I would like to start by saying I love this game it’s super fun and I love the depth it has. My first idea add an in season tournament and a black top mode. Blacktop mode would be like the one in 2k. It’s super fun and adding this would make the game even better. My other idea is a little bit of a stretch but I would love it so much if you did this. I think it would be cool if you made like a sports world game. It would work where you could play prizefights, hockey, hoop land, a baseball and football game all on the same platform. This would be awesome. I have heard from a lot of people that they love hoop land so much they think if there was a baseball and football version of it they would love it. Again I know the sports world idea is a bit of a stretch but I definitely think a lot of people would buy premium version of a game like that. Thanks for reading😀

I really love this game. It is a better version of retro bowl. And I have played it for over 70 hours now and I have a few things that NEED to be changed. There needs to be an easier way to intentionally foul in this game. It is the most frustrating thing ever being down 1 or 2 and theoretically still having a chance but then not being able to foul because the controls are so difficult. There should be a button in the bottom left whenever you would want to foul and all you have to do is click that button. There also needs to be more help in stopping fast breaks since many times someone just runs down the court while the defender is behind them and they have an easy slam. There is also a problem when the opponent(CPU) gets an inbound on there side of the court where they always have a really easy lob to slam. Finally there needs to be a boost for defensive rebounding. Why is the CPU ever grabbing nearly as many offensive boards than the defense.

this game is exactly what I’ve been looking for in terms of a basketball simulator. if you buy the premium for only $5, you can customize and download user created rosters, including uniforms, arenas, and names of actual NBA teams and players! I’ve started a campaign with the modern OKC Thunder and a fantasy draft with all-time players! you can even simulate full 82-game seasons or play them out on your own! this is a very underrated and secretly massive game that I would recommend to anyone who likes either games like retro bowl, or even games like the Football Manager series, or EA sports games like 2K and Madden.
