You guys asked for certain features and now they're here. 2.5 has been submitted.

NIL: NIL has been added into the game. Every player values NIL differently. You can increase or decrease your NIL offer as part of your recruiting pitch for high school prospects. NIL is also built into the transfer portal now.

Offseason NIL: After each season your donors will meet with you and depending on how your program did they'll tell you whether they're increasing or decreasing your NIL budget. Some of your current players might also ask for an increase in their NIL deal and you can accept or decline. Say no and they might not be happy about it.

Postseason Invitational: Didn't make the National Tournament? Your season might not be over yet. The Postseason Invitational has been added for all teams who just missed out on the National Tournament. Full 16-team bracket, all playable, same bracket viewer as the conference and national tournaments.

Impossible Mode: New difficulty tier above Extreme for everyone who's been saying the game is still too easy. Good luck.

Quality of Life: A lot of QOL improvements in this one. You can now filter by overall in the out of conference scheduling screen. Tons of bug fixes across the board. If you posted a bug in the Discord, me and the testing team have addressed it even if I wasn't able to respond to you directly.

Version 2.4 — What's New
Transfer Portal Redesign: Expanded player pool with sign chance percentages, departure reasons, and position filtering for a more strategic portal experience.

Save State Fix: Resolved remaining cases of the 0-0 save glitch. All save and load paths are now fully stable.

Win Probability Chart: Live play-by-play now features an interactive win probability graph that updates on every play.

Extreme Difficulty: New difficulty tier added for experienced players seeking a greater challenge.

Postseason Game Preview: Full matchup previews now available before Conference Tournament and National Tournament games.

AI Roster Intelligence: Improved AI recruiting, transfer portal usage, and roster construction with position-aware decision making across all teams.

Flexible Scholarships: Available scholarship slots now adjust based on projected roster departures, preventing scenarios where recruiting is blocked on a technically full roster.

Scoring Balance: Tuned long-save scoring environment to maintain realistic stat distributions across extended dynasties while preserving elite individual performances.
Conference Invites: Invitations to move up conferences now appear directly on the Dashboard.
Live Sim Indicator: Visual feedback during play-by-play showing which team currently leads.

Player Profiles: Swipe navigation between Stats, Ratings, Game Log, and Bio tabs.

iPad and Mac Improvements: Improved modal presentation, layout spacing, and desktop input support including ESC to close and click-outside dismissal.

What's New in Version 2.3
Pregame Matchup Screen
Tap your next game from the dashboard to see a full pregame breakdown. Compare both teams side by side with stat bars for PPG, RPG, APG, FG%, and 3P%. See the projected spread, model-projected final score, and stat leaders matched up head to head before you sim or play it out.
Sim Tuning
Overhauled how points, assists, and rebounds are generated. Scoring now runs on a possession-based system tied to team tempo and coaching style. Stat distributions across the roster are more balanced and team averages sit in realistic college basketball ranges.
Coaching Style and Scoring Options
Your playstyle and offensive scoring options now carry more weight in sim results. Run and Gun, Lockdown Defense, System Ball, and Motion Offense each shape pace and tendencies. AI coaches have randomized styles too. First, second, and third scoring options have a bigger impact on shot distribution.
Conference Prestige Bands
Each conference now has a prestige floor, average, and ceiling. Teams near the top gain prestige slower and teams near the bottom are protected from freefall. Tap any conference name in the standings to see its band.
Redshirt Screen
Revamped with OVR and potential visible for every player. Auto-redshirt is smarter about targeting bench guys with high upside. Easier to read across the board.
Team Stats
Check any team's PPG, RPG, APG, steals, blocks, turnovers, and shooting percentages from a new stats tab on the team card.
Additional Updates
Confirmation prompt when switching jobs. More players stay at your old school when you leave. Fixed Opening Four bracket bugs and career log issues. Swapped roster page for lineup page in the bottom bar. Cleaned up the lineup screen. New team color mode replaces the gold accent with your team's color across the app. Fixed crashing bugs. Added more player names.

Recruiting System Overhaul

Completely rebuilt how recruiting commit decisions work. Now there's even less variation across if you're leading and whether or not a player commits.

For those of you who want recruiting to feel more forgiving, Easy mode now gives you a real advantage when you're the clear leader on a recruit. Not a reroll, an actual probability boost. If you're ahead by a big margin on Easy, you're landing that guy. Easier mode is easier.

Transfer Portal Visibility

When the new season starts, the News tab now shows exactly where each of your former players transferred to. The player's name is clickable and opens their player card on their new team. These are real roster moves, the player actually exists on that team, not just a text notification.

Scholarship / Portal Bug

Fixed an issue where the portal could show you as maxed out on scholarships even when you had open spots from players leaving for the draft. The portal now correctly reflects your true available roster slots.

Player Development + Coach Impact

Dev coach impact has been significantly increased for both in-season and offseason growth. A maxed development coach now gives a clear advantage in player progression that you'll actually feel over a season. Redshirt freshmen with high potential will make noticeably bigger jumps.

Also tuned potential distribution so extreme potentials are rarer and more exciting when you find one. Hidden gems still exist but finding a 99 POT sleeper actually means something now.

Lineup / Minutes Bug

Fixed an issue where swapping players in the lineup could break the minutes display or make the minute bar disappear.

Record Mismatch (Coach of the Year)

Fixed the Coach of the Year award to use regular season record consistently so your record in the awards tab matches what you see at the top of the screen.

Tournament Game Log Numbering

Fixed tournament games all showing the same game number in player game logs. Game numbers now increment correctly through the postseason.

Award Spam

Fixed an issue where player bios could show the same award dozens of times in a single season. Awards now only appear once per season.

Tournament Autobids (Custom Files)

For those of you using custom conference files, every conference now gets an actual tournament simmed so autobids come from real conference tournament winners regardless of your setup.

Tournament UX

The button to advance to the next tournament game is now a big gold pulsing "NEXT GAME" button that's impossible to miss.

Close Button Issues

The bracket close button hitbox has been enlarged so you're not fighting with the battery icon area anymore. Also fixed close buttons across the app to work on the first tap every time.

AD Firing Logic

Added hard floors so dominant seasons are properly protected. A 29-1 coach cannot be on the hot seat anymore.

AI Recruiting Class Sizes

AI teams now recruit realistic class sizes based on actual roster openings instead of stacking 5-10 players per year. AI also considers positional needs when recruiting so they build balanced rosters.

Career / Job Market

The job market now always includes some rebuild opportunities so you're not limited to only elite programs when looking for a new job.

Roster Construction

Fixed a position distribution issue that was causing too many players to end up as Small Forwards. Position generation is now balanced across all five positions. AI teams also maintain proper guard and big coverage so you won't see teams with zero point guards anymore.

Turnover Realism

Tuned turnover generation to produce realistic college basketball numbers with varied turnover types across bad passes, lost balls, traveling, and shot clock violations. Steals are properly attributed. Both played and simmed games now produce the same turnover environment.

v1.6 Patch Notes

Tournament Brackets

Added a real bracket viewer for both conference and national tournaments. You can now see the full bracket layout with matchups, scores, seeds, records, and logos round by round. Your team is highlighted so you can follow your path through the tournament.

Rebounding Fix

Rebuilt how rebounds are calculated. Team and individual totals should look a lot more realistic now. Also fixed an issue where the play-by-play and box score could show different rebound numbers for the same game.

Player Ratings

Fixed an issue where player overalls could get out of sync with their actual attributes over time. Growth now goes into real ratings so what you see on the player card matches their OVR.

Job Offers

Top programs are pickier now. Blue bloods won't come knocking after one good season. You need to build a track record, win consistently, and make tournament runs before elite jobs open up.

Save System

Added crash protection for saves. If the app closes unexpectedly during a save your file won't get corrupted. Automatic backup recovery if anything goes wrong.
