The 'Tournament' Update is finally here! Version 1.09.7 adds exciting new features such as college rankings, tournament courts, CPU player trade requests, and much more!

Those of you that enjoy playing Commissioner Mode with a friend can now set specific teams to Player or CPU. Player controlled teams will be able to draft, sign, and trade their own players without any CPU involvement.

Unfortunately, Cloud Saves did not make the cut but it's still on my list of things to add in future updates along with Achievements.

This update also sets the foundation for the big College Franchise Mode coming to Update Version 1.10 later this year. This will also be the update when Hoop Land finally exits Early Access so your feedback leading up to full release will be crucial!

Thank you all again for putting your trust into the development of this game, I couldn't have done it without all your support!
