1.3.1
October 22, 2026
A friendlier first game, and far fewer stand-ins in older seasons. NEW TO THE GAME • A clearer start: you coach one team through a real bracket while the rest of the field plays itself. Win every game to cut the nets. • Coaching moments: when a game turns, play pauses and suggests a call. Call a timeout or play on. • A suggested call at halftime. • Your speed setting now stays put between games. • After your first run, a Tomorrow row points to the next daily bracket. • Replay the tutorial any time from Settings. HISTORY • Real players now fill more than 3,000 more spots on historical rosters. • Several seasons whose results were later vacated now field real players where they had stand-ins. • Player pages show each season once, with the right school, and "Play as" opens that team. FIXES • Lots of small fixes for VoiceOver, larger text and smaller screens. Cut the Nets is free, with occasional ads between games. A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good.
