About This Game

What happens between games impacts the game itself. A living news feed tracks league-wide storylines. Off-court events driven by player personalities create locker room drama. Award races build tension mid-season. Every system — morale, stats, relationships, tactics — connects to every other system.

Fully moddable from day one with Steam Workshop integration. Replace rosters, add headshots, customize teams, modify commentary.

Built by an indie developer who believes basketball deserves the same simulation depth that football has had for decades.
