Our take on Hoop Land
Hoop Land combines playable matches with career, franchise, and commissioner modes, rather than centering on only one part of basketball. Its seasons can include college and professional leagues, and its extensive league customization replaces a fixed competition setup.
What is Hoop Land?
Hoop Land is a 2D basketball simulation with retro-inspired presentation and customizable college and professional leagues.
Games can be played, watched, or simulated in single-player or local multiplayer. Career Mode follows a created player from high school through college, the draft, and a professional career. Franchise Mode puts the player in charge of a struggling team, with scouting, draft selections, player development, free agency, trades, and championship pursuits. Commissioner Mode offers league-level control over trades, expansion, awards, roster changes, and injuries across unlimited seasons. League customization covers team names, uniform colors, courts, rosters, coaches, and awards. Created leagues can be imported or shared with the community.
