Why Early Access?

“Early Access provides us with the opportunity to engage with the community while the game is still in its Beta phase. Although most core features are already implemented, we believe that player feedback is crucial for balancing the game, enhancing customizability, and refining both existing and new features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to launch Early Access in December 2024, with the goal of a full release the following year.”

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

“We plan for the full version to include additional features, enhanced customizability, improved game balance, and a refined user interface based on community feedback. Support for custom leagues is planned, as well as more in-depth player award and achievement systems. Feedback from the community may be incorporated to change features and implement new ones.

You can find the current Roadmap here.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“While it's still in its Beta phase, the Early Access version is fully playable, with most core features already built-in.

You can recruit, train, and manage players for one of 192 college teams, track stats for every team and player, win conference and national championships, and watch games play-by-play in our text-based CourtCast game sim. You are also able to manage your own coach's career by accepting or declining job offers that come in. You can also fill out your team's staff by hiring and firing assistant coaches and trainers.

Some of our planned features have not been implemented, however. The game does not currently allow the player to import their customized leagues. School and League record books have not been implemented. Individual player rating development, award, and injury histories are not implemented, nor is the league news feature.

We plan for the game to be updated often. Bugs may be frequent during Early Access and save files may become incompatible with updated game versions.”

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

“The price may be adjusted as we add more content and features. We aim to keep it budget-friendly throughout its development and final release.”

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

“We highly value community input and will actively use the Steam forums and our official Discord server to gather feedback from players. Your suggestions and insights will play a vital role in shaping the development of Campus Legends College Basketball both before and during Early Access.”
