Hoop Empire

Basketball Franchise Simulator

Take a franchise from lottery pick to dynasty. Full 82-game seasons, the draft, free agency, the salary cap — and every trade you can talk someone into.

PC now — iOS and Android in development

The front office

Every lever a real front office pulls

Not a spreadsheet with a scoreboard bolted on. A league that keeps moving whether you are watching or not.

Season

Start to finish

82 games, the play-in, four playoff rounds and a Finals — simulated day by day, with injuries, fatigue, momentum and home court all in play.

Draft

Draft the future

Scout a class over months, watch the mock boards shift, then live with the pick. Prospects develop off real production, not a hidden dice roll.

Trades

A market that pushes back

AI teams price picks, read your cap sheet, counter your lowballs and shop their own guys. The apron is real, and it will bite you.

Roles

Coach, player or owner

Run the rotation and the scheme, chase your own stat line, or sit upstairs weighing arena upgrades against the luxury tax bill.

Legacy

Build something that lasts

Retired numbers, Hall of Fame classes, franchise records — and legacy kids entering the draft twenty years after their father did.

Mods

Make it your league

Custom teams, players and rosters through built-in creators — then share them, or pull down someone else's, via Steam Workshop.
