Playbook

Real plays, run on the floor

Install plays for after timeouts, inbounds, the last shot and the games you must win from three. Players learn them with practice, and your team runs the play you call, cut by cut and screen by screen. And you are not limited to the library: design your own plays in the Play Designer, move by move, then share them with other managers as playbook files.

    Players

    Know every player inside out

    Every player has 37 visible attributes on a scale of 1 to 20, a body, a personality, natural roles and a contract. Some things stay hidden until your scouts and coaches have seen enough, and what you see is what your staff can judge.

      The game

      The whole club is yours

      From the first scouting trip to the last-second play call, Hoopstead gives you the depth of a classic manager game, built for basketball from the floor up.

      A living world

      Leagues, clubs and countries rise and fall with success. Win for years with a small club and the club, its league and its country grow with you.

      Every possession played

      Players move on a real court. Results and statistics come only from what happens on the floor, with nothing scripted. Watch in 2D or follow the play-by-play.

      Deep tactics

      Playbooks and play calls, zones and presses, rotations and matchups. Change a game plan at the timeout and see it change the floor.

      People, not numbers

      Scouting, contracts, agents and trades. Staff with their own views, a board with expectations, players with moods, egos and ambitions.

      The draft and the youth

      Draft night, summer leagues and youth intakes. Find the teenager nobody else saw and watch them become a star, or a legend.

      A history that remembers

      Records, awards, a hall of fame and rivalries that build over decades. The press asks, the fans react, and the world keeps its own story.

      Living world

      Your club's story, season after season

      No two careers are the same. The world keeps moving around you, and it remembers what you did.

      1. Season 1

        Take over a second-division club nobody expects anything from.

      2. Season 3

        Promotion. The town packs the arena, and the board raises the budget.

      3. Season 7

        Your first continental cup run puts the club, and the league, on the map.

      4. Season 15

        The kid from your youth intake retires as the club's all-time scorer.

      5. Season 20

        Your name goes up in the hall of fame. Theirs goes up on the arena.
