Phenom Hoops: Basketball Star

Want a basketball game where you are the player, not the coach? Phenom Hoops is a basketball career sim and a life sim in one: create your own player in pixel art, take the big shots in every game and run your life on and off the court, from teenage prospect to the legend who retires at 37.

Phenom Hoops is a pixel-art basketball career game. Create your player, pick a nation and a role, and live a whole career on an isometric court, from your first youth game to retirement at 37. Every choice, every shot and every season writes your story.

FROM ROOKIE TO LEGEND
Choose your name, one of 20 nations, your role (point guard, wing or big man), skin and hair. European players start at 15 in a club Youth Academy U18, players from the USA and Canada start at 17 in the High School League. Then the road splits: a scholarship in the College Challenge, European Division 4 all the way up to Division 1, the Euro Elite League and the American League draft, with its picks, rounds and undrafted hopefuls.

YOUR MOMENTS, YOUR CALL
Matches are simulated and stop when the ball is in your hands. Pick the play with big buttons: shoot, shoot a 3, drive, pass, layup, dunk, hook shot, drop step, alley-oop, tip-in, or steal and contest on defense. A label tells you if you are open or guarded, then tap when the timing bar hits the green. Crossovers on the drive, free throws, pick and roll, fast breaks, post ups, catch and shoot, offensive rebounds and clutch shots in the last seconds. Your baskets come back in slow motion and become a vertical 9:16 highlight clip to share.

TRAIN AND GROW
Four skills: shooting, passing, handling and athleticism. Earn XP, level up, spend skill points and work through four training drills. Hit the season objectives set by your coach and the 3 daily challenges, and keep your morale high.

LIFE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Face the press: your answers change your morale and your fans. Sign with sponsors, weigh transfer offers, answer the national team call for the World Championship and the Continental Cup, and chase league titles, the top scorer award and MVP. At 37 your legend rating tells how far you went.

LIVE LIKE A STAR
Spend your coins on sneakers that boost your stats, a dog, cars all the way up to a hypercar, a city apartment, a villa, a seaside mansion and a personal coach. Pick your sneaker colours, 5 hairstyles and 8 celebrations.
