What's New

1.05 responds to our two biggest requests- faster sim times and the ability to sim the current basketball season. Hoops Manager now features a completely rebuilt fast sim engine reducing game sim time to between 1 and 3 seconds (about 7x faster), as well as including data for the current 2014-2015 season alongside the original 2013-2014 season data. Hope you enjoy it!

App Description

Best Sim sports game I have ever played and I've played many different board and PC sports games. If you like stats and controlling your favorite team this game is for you.

Fun game *****

Great bball strategy game. The only issue is the slow simulation, but it is getting better. Please keep the upgrades going.

Best basketball game out there *****

This is a very good game. If you are more n to coaching and being the GM, this is definitely the game for you.

Great potential ****

I think this game has a great layout and easy to understand. I've changed all the team names and player names which did not take too long -thanks to a post on the forum of the production company. So far the AI has been really good. Three team trades are accurate and fun. The only reason I gave it a four star instead of five is because the simulation speed is pretty slow, particularly for games you are not watching or managing. But I recommend it to anybody who likes simulation sports games like iOOTP.
