## What is Bit College Basketball?

Play Now right away or make a coach, take over a college basketball program. Build it into a dynasty, one offensive possession at a time.

ARCADE HOOPS, MARCH DRAMA
Fast, fun, simple retro hoops action. Time up your shot and let it rip. Feel the crowd's energy, every bucket, block, and buzzer-beater, they'll let you know what they think. Play it possession by possession, or drop in for just the clutch moments. Easy to pick up, and the endgame plays like the tournament, do you have that clutch gene?

RUN THE WHOLE PROGRAM
Recruit high schoolers or college players through the transfer portal, but be careful or your own players may end up there too! Manage your team, keep your players happy and on the court. The NIL fund offers dilemmas: donors with agendas, players who want more than their worth, and hard choices when the money runs short. Build the squad, climb the rankings, and cut down the nets.

OWN THE LEAGUE
Pick any of the 364 teams across 32 conferences, then make any changes you see fit: rename and recolor any program, redesign the jerseys, and create your own coach. Run your dynasty for decades: recruit, graduate, rebuild, repeat. 

The donors are restless. The freshmen are promising. March doesn't wait. Can you hang a banner in the rafters?

B3B Studios is an independent game studio, solo dev, looking for community feedback, updated often, we're always listening. Please tell us what you'd like to see next!

All teams, players, conferences, and venues are fictional.

### 5/5 — Game with much potential

*2026-08-28*

Hopped on the game yesterday and it is pretty darn fun, gameplay has some bugs but if the developer stays active like it seems he is, this game will be a masterpiece in the future.

### 4/5 — Would be 5 starts but my heart was broken

*2026-08-23*

I had gotten about 5-6 years with my cedar career and because I had seen their was multiple slots for the career I wanted to make a new career (since I didn’t read the tutorials and I thought that would be the best way to see them) and when I went back my cedar career was deleted my heart was broken we were the giant killer we beat Florida and the 3 seed in one March madness run and had a 3 year streak of winning our conference championship I’ll keep playing but I’ll always miss my cedar players

### 5/5 — HIGHLY RECOMMEND

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.11*

I love this game, only thing is maybe js make the actual gameplay better, kinda like hoopland but sooo fun to play

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.11*

If you spend two dollars, it will say you are over budget do not buy 😡😡😡😡😡

### 5/5 — actually GOATED

*2026-08-15*

bro i usually do not rock with sports games but my boy told me to download it and my life has changed. all i am doing is playing this game. download ASAP u will not regret it.

### 5/5 — Really good game but

*2026-08-14*

There’s a bug where I tried upgrading my facility and it says 78 weeks and then I sim to end of season it says 2 weeks then I start my new season and it says 78 weeks again

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and support! The latest version (1.0.11) should have patched this, if not, Please send me over an email support@b3bstudios.com

### 1/5 — Not Retro Bowl Basketball

*2026-08-13*

Just get Hoopland and thank me later. This game isn’t even better than Hoop Tactics. No dribble moves. The shot meter is bad. The ball physics are worse. And you can’t win as a bad team because of how the gameplay is. The players are too big and can’t even set screens. They just wander the court randomly. The “Moments” gameplay is also terrible and favors the cpu regardless of the overall of either team. The COU gains way more momentum than you and the moments it picks are just god awful. And since Hoopland exists, I’m not playing this barebones gameplay for a whole game. They need to make MAJOR improvements before this game can compete and be worthy of a 4.9 star rating (the reviews have to be fake. You’ll agree if you play this) this game is like an Alpha version if anything. I hope it improves or it will never compete with Hoopland

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, I'll be hard at work to improve the things you point to. While also improving the UX, so players actually know that there are dribble moves in the game. The game will certainly improve, and I'd like to consult with you about exactly how to improve it best! Please send me an email to support@b3bstudios.com or dm me on reddit: b3bstudios

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.10*

The game is really great but could you make a mycareer mode?

### 5/5 — Unexpected masterpiece?

*2026-08-12*

To be honest when I first saw this on the App Store I thought it was just like all the other SIM college basketball games, but I was wrong. This came to me is exactly what I’ve been looking for a game where I get to rebuild any college basketball program, but also getting a little bit of gameplay and being able to play with the players I develop. Is the gameplay perfect no but this game is like a basketball Sim game mixed with arcade gameplay. This game is a must play and I hope the developer is like who planned and constantly gives undates to this game and is not like the retro bowl!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-08-10, version 1.0.10*

Very smooth and very fun
