Hoop Land

As a super fan of HLT, the wait for HL seemed like forever but was well worth it. The attention and effort paid to the minutia of little physics details makes for a game that surpasses what one would reasonably expect for an 8-bit basketball game. Having read other reviews, I must say that I’ve been fortunate enough to not encounter any of the bugs others claim to experience. There are some aspects of the franchise mode that are still missing, but I’m either aware or just placing my well deserved faith in Koality’s further development of the game to add them down the line. We know trades will be added soon, which is pretty much requisite for a full fledged league mode. Absolutely NEED and hope for the addition of a simple HOF line in HLT if not something statistically more elaborate. A big specific for me with switching my legacy league over to HL would be the transfer and inclusion of our HOF from HL, which would include individual accomplishments already on the resume of current and soon to be retiring players. For example, I have a player from my legacy league soon to retire, but on the cusp of setting a new record with his 7th championship. I really hope those sorts of statistical details can be incorporated and not lost. My only complaint really, would be that the CPU offense is very basic quite often with little to no ball movement and no attempt to make obvious passes to open teammates. Otherwise… excellent so far and can’t wait for more!
