Community Insight:
Just let us be able to talk back to anybody on social media in the game.
Simplesmente um dos melhores jogos mbiles que eu j joguei, timo em todos os aspectos, no tenho o que reclamar.
This is an awesome game. Maybe add a thing where you can get a girlfriend and a house with your salary.
We really love this game, ive been playing for 3 years now, ive been playing since our freshman year of high school and we love every thing about this game, its very amazing, but we would like to say this, while ive recently been playing HL, ive been thinking about any possible requests for the game such as A black top games or a street game where you can play 5 on 5 or do 2v2s, with the players career character if possible a multiplayer mode/ game option, because we feel if HL had a online option there would be lots of people and lots of competition from other players and for the multiplayer option (if there every will be one) maybe a mic option for both pc users and mobile users and also probably in the future a 3d version of the game The game overall is amazing, we absolutely recommend playing HoopLand a very fun and also competitive game.
This is the perfect game and premium is cheap when it should cost more. We luv it so much. It is perfect but we just have two suggestions. No beg. Actually three. Could you ,make where you could talk in the locker room and have an entrance when you are playing. Could you make a college franchise mode pls. Could u add high school. Actually four. And lastly could you make the animations where the coach can stand and walk like in real life. Thank you so much for making this game. Could u also add in season tournaments for college like in real life. Could you add the ability to full court press please.
Hey Hoop land u love this game to death and we only had it for a week or 3 this game so fire if you made this mind as well make a banger again called football land the same thing but football you can choose your favorite position ect and you can also go to the nfl or college this is our suggestion. Hope you consider it.
Love this game its so fun but in career mode we would love to have highlights for your character so we can see highlights from rookie year etc. And even when they are retired we can go back and see highlights ALSO we would love to see ACTUAL height differences in players like a 6 foot 11 player should look bigger than a 6 foot 5 player but other than that this game is amazing best basketball game on mobile.
Best mobile basketball game oat. Simple.
Its a great game you can make your player the next LeBron James and overall its a great game.
Retro bowl but basketball and it has a great our career.
Better than 2k ive put in like 100+ hours been around since beta.
Best retro basketball game ever played for 2 days straight.
Ngl hoop land is the best game ever created might be better then nba 2k.
It is fun when you are chilling we 100% recommend you play.
You should add a high school season and then get recruited by the college coachs.
Probably one of the best mobile basketball games out. Cant wait to see what else its brings to the table.
This game is great and all but imagine how fun it would be with a mobile controller connected.
This might be one of the most fun games on our phone rn. And theres not even much payed promotion either. The only thing you can pay for in the game is Hoop Land+ and its only a couple of dollars. You can play all through your college career, and all through the nba. You can also create many slots for many different players and make the players however you want to. You can make him a sharpshooter, you can make him a true rim protector, or just make him great all around, and you can also tell where your from and what small town your from and everything else. So yes this game is very fun and we will be playing it for a very long time. Im also addicted and its so much fun. So yes you definitely should try out and play this game because in our opinion we think its amazing and its also for all ages too.
As a person who has played games our hole life this caught our eye we have played and played it and its never ending its so fun without a clue we knew this was the best game ever.
This is a greattttt game only things we would like. ( well ik its a pixelated type game but we would like there to be jump shot options. Like making your own jump shot. And also adding like WVU into the game for the college teams ) ( West Virginia university).
We just found this game its really fun but you have to pay to get the real NBA and the college teams we dont want to play with fake names like the Boston charms but overall really fun.
It is a great game. We are at year 229.
Make it to where we can actually see a weight/height difference. Doesnt have to be major but would be cool. Also side quest for career mode maybe. And fights or altercations on the court.
We really love this game, but we feel like it would be even better with a road to glory mode Start from High School-College-NBA and you have to play good to work for your offers and get 1-10 pick in the draft.
In our opinion this is better than retro bowl we love how after college you can play in the big leagues it is so cool and exciting.
Should add the length of the shot on three pointers. Im curious how far the shot is from deep.
This game is absolutely beautiful. Best basketball mobile game ever. The dribbling, the shooting the vibes of the game are just perfect, the our career is amazing. We LOVE HOOP LAND.
Great game its so fun to play when youre on the go and its simple but hard to master. 10/10.
One of our favorite mobile games is retro bowl but we are more of a basketball guy so when we saw this game we had to download it and play it and it was worth. 10/10 would recommend.
It is a great game to crew boredom and it is free!! We love this game and will never delete it.
We love this game so much can yall make a football one tho.
Love the game. Think the relationship system in career could be touched up and maybe gained through sim? A little annoying when youre older switching teams a lot and teammates wont pass you the ball even tho youre the best player in the league.
The best game we have played so far and not gonna lie its better then 2k.
This game is way better than 2k26 mobile we would most definitely pick this over 3k26 mobile.
This game brought us three thick and thin ever time we were mad it supported us best game.
Like the game so much , very fun.
Even though it cost five dollars to get the premium person its worth it. Its so much fun to do either mode and and commissioner mode is pretty funny. You get to edit and trade players on your own and player is fun because you get to go into college and you could either choose like four years like normal or go ride away into the NBA.
Great game all the modes are very immersive and just a good game overall.
So first of all this the greatest game Ive ever played second we actually tell people about this game this lets get into the game so you need to make height differences ok imagine Im 70 right and im guarding someone 62 we should tower over them so you need to fix that 4th you need to make dunk animations and like we need to get a celebration or something because we look too nonchalant and when you have a shoot around before game there should be multiple basketballs because its annoying when our teammates take the ball 5th there should be more calls like if we get a bad call we want to have a challenge towards the call 6th people should get ejected for random hits like if someone gets injured on the court the cpu shouldnt be able to hit us on butt making us slide like a fool and get away with it 7th can there be like different dribbling animations and on top of the we should have a different jump shot form from everybody else and 8th can we still be able to play from different injuries like we want to be Kobe and 9th can we be able to color the tips of our hair not that we need this and thats all for our review we hope you could do this review or at least see it thank you Hoop Land.
Great game maybe add a high school update.
Its basically retro bowl but for basketball, highly recommend the premium version so you can get custom teams and leagues.
Hoop Land has been one of our favorite games to pass time for years. The games are a fun way to play without needing to focus too hard. The only flaw of the game is that its repetitive but if you play the different game modes like dynasty and career you should be fine.
If you love retro bowl try this game out it is one of the best mobile games we have ever played so fun.
Greatest mobile basketball game ever created.
This game is honestly the best retro themed game Ive ever played,it has so many features,cool things and moves that we generally just love. 5 stars.
Yall game is boo-boo yall need to quit making these games or we will report u to the government for making people crash out.
Yo this app is awesome if they made a football game it would be retro bowl in its prime times 10,000. Peak game.
W fun offline game to play on road trips, in the car, etc we recommend.
Im so happy with this game it is very addicting and it is only five dollars for premium forever one and done Everything we hoped for.
We love the game and want to play it at school but we can only play html games as everything else is blocked. We would like to be able to port your game to html with your permission.
