## What is Dynasty?

Dynasty College Basketball is a college basketball dynasty simulator built for season-long runs. Create your coach, pick a program, and guide your team from November to March then reload in recruiting and do it all again.

SEASON TO SEASON
• Advance day by day on a team calendar and play your games when they land.
• Simulate the season or step through live games with clock, score, and box score.
• Follow schedules with home/away context, records, and conference vs non-conference games.

RANKINGS & STATS
• Track a composite Top 25 poll and standings as the season unfolds.
• Dig into league stats, conferences, and player leaderboards from your team hub.

POSTSEASON
• Visualize conference tournament and NCAA tournament brackets when the season reaches March.

RECRUITING & OFFSEASON
• Run high school recruiting—board recruits, compete for signatures, and build your class.
• Move through the offseason with training and roster decisions, then roll into the next season.

YOUR LEGACY
• Save multiple dynasties locally and switch between them.
• Build toward Hall of Fame recognition for coaches who complete a season.

CUSTOM LEAGUES (OPTIONAL)
• Import teams and conferences from a JSON file to play with your own universe or save imports to a library for later.

Whether you’re chasing a title or rebuilding a low-prestige job, Dynasty College Basketball keeps the loop tight: calendar → games → recruiting → offseason → repeat.

### 4/5 — Needs a couple tweaks

*2026-06-26*

One of the better cbb games out there. Only 2 things I’d suggest are changing the requirements for hiring assistant coaches. As a 38 prestige school I was able to sign A rated assistants long term with ease and quickly turn it around with a mediocre roster, it should be much harder— or at least restrict low prestige teams to signing maximum C rated assistants and so on. Second thing is recruiting can be finicky. Multiple times I’ve had issues with the NIL money being offered. Say a recruit wants 0.2m NIL, I typically offer 0.3m to get an edge, but the game will say that my offer is either nonexistent or only register it as 0.1m and it prohibits me from gaining any ground in recruiting and then I end up with a terrible 1 star transfer. Otherwise it’s very realistic in the actual game simulation which is a huge plus, keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Good game but…

*2026-06-10*

Good but couple use a couple extra features like allowing us to edit players even if we have to pay for it itll be worth it

**Developer response:** Thank you! God Mode is otw

### 2/5 — The simulation is buns

*2026-04-30*

Lower overall = loss every single time. No upsets in a college basketball game? No substitutions? Game UI is nice and it has potential but its not even fun if its impossible to rebuild a team

### 1/5 — Bad Update ruined the game

*2026-04-22*

They pushed an update through that automatically signs players in the recruiting phase. This is an issue because the more people you have signed to your team the less recruiting points you have to recruit good players. And this is not a thing that has a button to turn off. On top of that it will recruit players to a position that you have no need of. It is a huge problem that made me uninstall the game.

### 3/5 — Good idea but freezes a lot

*2026-04-13*

The game is fun, but it freezes all the time. My dynasty froze after a game and now it won’t even let me open that dynasty anymore. Whenever I load the app and tap on the save I want to load the app just freezes…so now have to restart after years worth of playing and recruiting… kinda stinks

### 4/5 — Lots of Potential

*2026-04-11*

The game is really fun as is! I would love to see some additions such as custom out of conference schedules, hiring of other coaching staff, conference movement, and invite tournaments (like Maui)

### 4/5 — Fun game small glitches

*2026-04-01*

Only issue I have is the game is kind of glitchy. Other than that I’m having a blast!

### 5/5 — Fun so far

*2026-03-30*

Dev is doing a great job with updates. Like another review mentioned, most of the bugs/issues are logic things. They’ll def get ironed out

### 1/5 — Buggy and worthless

*2026-03-30*

Full of bugs, can’t even adjust your own lineups, and there’s no scouting when you recruit. Plenty of better options out there run by people who listen to bug reports

### 5/5 — This game is the new best mobile college sim game I’ve seen right behind campus dynasty

*2026-03-29*

The way it works. It is lights out. It is awesome. They don’t have true bugs it’s mainly just logic issues, like a 13-12 team being #2 in the nation. The conference tournaments work awesome, I would just let us truly see the main development of the tournament. Especially if we want to have more fun with it lol predicting the games or something. But you can truly control your team, you have to truly be a hell of a coach to get where you want to be. You have to be strategic with minutes and stamina. You have to be the best. Once this game fixes some logic stuff and truly gets this game running. Man we will be watching an app in the making of true art. Hell of a job by you sir.
