Currently Unplayable

Crashed every 30 seconds or so once past the first season. Unplayable game as it stands.

Every update lately makes it worse

Game used to be awesome now every update breaks 5 things that take months to get fixed. After the latest update nil doesn’t work right, red shirts start playing in the conference tournament and lose their redshirts, players play an extra year for no reason. I loved this game but I’m done into the devs fix it. Stop updating the game before fixing the current issues!!!!

Devs care

Played this game pretty soon after release, many updates and it’s been nice to see as the game progresses, that being said occasionally i’ll sim an entire season, and the game will crash and restart the season, had this problem when leaving the game during off-season. without some of these pretty annoying mishaps the games very fun

Please fix this…

Good game but I can’t even a play a full 10 minutes without it crashing and I think there should be a separate history tab added with all time records that stays and doesn’t change every season but the biggest issue is the game crashing

Update bad

After the update I can’t get past the conference tournament without it crashing. Sends me to the offseason and then next season with all the same recruits I just signed. Lame.

Was a 5 star before the update.

Love the game but it skips my seasons.

I paid to remove ads and paid for god mode but still, i will have 2 seasons in a row where i make the tournament, the app crashes, and it sims my whole offseason not letting me get new players. I love the game but this is making it unplayable

Amazing devs

love how in depth this game is along with how committed they are to making this game better with constant updates.

thank you

this is such a awesome game i hope you can take this concept and flip it so we can play the career of our own player

Great game but stopped working

This game deserves 5 stars because it’s one of the best I’ve ever played and I love that it’s only going to progress! I follow along for all the updates and a huge fan!!! However, what is going on recently? It’s not playable anymore it crashes upon opening my dynasty. Please fix!!

Game

The games great just through all my times of playing 50+ years, I have never had a guy make all American or score more than 20 points, I have had the best players in country’s, changed schemes, maxed out coaches but still no avail.

When It Works…

It’s great. But it doesn’t work very often. So far within one week of playing I’ve been stuck twice in a never-ending loop of playing the same team in an invitational tournament so I couldn’t progress my season. I deleted that and started with a new team and now my recruits are frozen with the two targets that I signed and I can’t recruit at all and it’s been three years so I’m kind of interested to see what’s gonna happen with the rest of a team when they graduate assuming that they do. Clean up the bugs in this will be a wonderful game, but right now it’s very nearly unemployable for longer periods of time.

Response from developer

Hey, can you shoot me an email at hardwoodempireapp@gmail.com!

Love the game

I absolutely love the game. It is addictive. I play it almost every day. I wish that something can be done to improve the recruiting process maybe adding some more points as your recruiting skills goes up or more points when your developmental skill goes up,but overall it is a good game! Make an NBA version!

Great Game,

I love the game. It’s like an improvement on Campus Dynasty. Would love if I could report bugs that I find to help improve the game.

Fun but Flawed

This is the best college basketball sim you will find outside of emulating an old PS3 or Xbox college basketball game. With the pastebin link to add real teams names, it is like you are playing an official product, and the dev is responsive to feedback and reviews.

The game still has some bugs and crashes, especially if you play it for a long period of time, but the dev is working on it and if your save breaks or anything he will respond if you ask him to fix it.

Fun but Flawed

The game is fun, and with the ability to add in real team names, it is the best college basketball game you can access without emulating an old console game. That being said, it is far from perfect.

The app crashes a lot if you play it for long periods of time. There are some checks and saves to prevent it from destroying your data, but you can break your save and make it glitchy.

Another problem is that even if you buy ad-free, you sometimes get ads. Even after reinstalling the app and restoring purchases, the second chance button in the tournament will still serve ads instead of just letting me do the second chance. (I did try reaching out to the creator via email, but I never heard from him).

Awesome game!

Big fan of sports simulation dynasty style game have tried them all! This one is top tier! Would love to see a college baseball version.

Constant Crashing

Fun game but it crashes almost once per season

Great game!

The games is really fun to play, and you can tell the developers really care because they constantly release new updates that never fail to impress.

Simulation/Ratings are horrible

I get it upsets happen, but it’s a little ridiculous when I get upset nearly EVERY time but when I play someone even just 1 ovr better than me I get blown out of the water. I mean there’s no way shape or form I should be losing to a team I’m 7ovr better than, especially getting blown out by them. Other than that bs the game is great. Please fix it bc it’s a little stupid and I’m on the edge of uninstalling
