Description

Build a college basketball dynasty from the ground up. Choose from 365 teams across 23 conferences, recruit top prospects, manage your roster, and chase championship glory season after season. If you've been waiting for a deep, modern college hoops sim on iOS — this is it.

Hardwood Empire puts you in full control of your program. Scout and recruit the best players, set your lineup, develop talent, and make the tough decisions that separate contenders from rebuilds. Every season plays out with full game logs, box scores, and detailed player stats — so your dynasty actually feels like a dynasty.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Most basketball sims are either shallow, abandoned, or loaded with microtransactions. Hardwood Empire is none of those. It's built by a solo developer who plays his own game, takes community feedback seriously, and ships updates regularly.
