Hoops GM - Support & FAQ
Welcome to the support page for Hoops GM! We're thrilled you're building your basketball dynasty with us. Below you'll find answers to some frequently asked questions about the game's features and mechanics.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does the save system work?
A: The game is designed to be easy to pick up and play. Your progress is auto-saved after every meaningful action you take, including:
- Finishing a game day (regular season or playoffs).
- Signing or selling a player.
- Purchasing an upgrade.
- Starting a new season.
The game also performs a final auto-save when you close the application, so you should never lose progress. From the main menu, you can have up to 5 different career slots to manage multiple teams!
Q: How do I get better players? My team is stuck.
A: Building a winning team is a long-term challenge! Here are the keys to success:
- Play Games: Earn money from wins and even losses. Higher tiers grant significantly more money.
- Check Free Agency Often: The free agent market refreshes every 3 "days" (weeks). The quality of players that appear is based on your team's current strength and your "Scouting Department" upgrade. Keep an eye out for bargains and "bridge" players who can help you compete in a higher tier.
- Invest in Upgrades: The "Scouting Department" and "Skilled Negotiator" upgrades are powerful tools for improving your access to talent and making it more affordable.
Q: What exactly does 'Prestige' do?
A: The Prestige system is the ultimate end-game challenge for true legends. After you win the Tier 1 Championship, you will be given a choice:
- Continue Playing: You can continue your reign in Tier 1 with your dominant team.
- Prestige & Restart: You will restart your career from the bottom (Tier 5) with a brand new, weaker team. All of your standard upgrades will be reset.
The Reward: For taking on this challenge, you will earn a permanent, stacking +10% Money Bonus for all future seasons, across all future prestige runs. Prestiging also increases the difficulty, making AI teams stronger for your next playthrough. How many times can you conquer the leagues?
Q: Is there a way to mute the music or sound effects?
A: Yes! On the main screen, you will find toggles in the settings to mute the background music and sound effects independently. These settings are saved globally to your device and will apply to all of your career save files.
