hoopline gm

Run a basketball club the way you would want the market to work: in the open. Every bid is public, every rule is written down, and every rating comes from real games.

Twelve teams. A fifteen-round snake draft against eleven rivals who scout, bid and cut on their own schedule. A salary cap you cannot talk your way around. A 22-game season with a box score for every game, then the playoffs, and cups against fictional clubs with squads dealt by the game.

WHAT YOU DO

• Draft fifteen players over a snake order you can see coming
• Bid in a live auction market where rivals bid back
• Search any player, star the ones you follow and get a notification when one goes up for auction
• Set a starting five on the court, rest tired legs and cover for injuries
• Before each game, set a tactics board against the rival's: style, defence, pace, who to feed and who to mark
• Upgrade your team's gear with coins: shoes, conditioning and recovery
• Finish in the top ten and play for the title: a play-in, then best-of-seven series to the Finals
• Climb the cup ladder from Bronze to Champions, with a bonus for every new rung
• Close the season with a report, protect eight players, redraft the rest and play the next season
• Earn achievements and keep your history and honours from one season to the next
• Watch ratings move as the real season moves

NOTHING ON SALE MAKES YOUR FIVE BETTER Gems buy time and appearance: a refill of the energy meter, a jersey, a court, the name over the arena. Coins pay the salary cap and the gear, and coins cannot be bought with money. That is the whole point.

PREMIUM An optional monthly subscription raises the energy limit, so one sitting goes further, keeps up to three named tactics boards to switch between in one tap, gives you the assistant's suggestion for every game, and can rotate your five automatically before each one. It changes nothing about how good your squad can be.
