Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hoop Land has been in development since 2022, and while it already includes in-depth season modes like Career, Franchise, and Commissioner, it has not yet reached my full vision. Launching in Early Access will allow me to continue developing new modes and features while gathering valuable player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hoop Land will likely remain in Early Access until sometime before the end of Q1 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“One of the bigger ideas I’m planning is a College Franchise mode, which would let players recruit prospects to build a powerhouse program. I also have other additions and improvements in mind, which are usually shared as development progresses. Features like full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility are expected to be refined and optimized further.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes fully customizable leagues, teams, players, and more. Custom leagues can be used in Career, Franchise, and Commissioner season modes. Each season save contains a college and pro league that are seamlessly interconnected, allowing young players to continuously populate professional leagues.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of Hoop Land is not expected to change when we leave Early Access. Players will also receive all future content and features at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I actively monitor Steam discussions, the Hoop Land discord server, and social media platforms to gather input on gameplay, requested features, and quality-of-life improvements. I also share consistent development logs so players can follow progress and provide feedback in real time. Community feedback has already shaped many aspects of Hoop Land, and it will continue to guide priorities and improvements throughout Early Access and beyond.”

About This Game

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

Single and local multiplayer 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.

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.
