Hello everybody, I just posted an update on the Twitter for 3.1. I wanted to say thank you to all of you guys who have been playing the game. I know I haven't been able to respond to all of you on the Reddit as I've just been focused on finals and fixing bugs from the Discord, but I wanted to let you know that all your voices are heard.

I just got finished with my school year, so I'll be able to put more time into this app and the other things I have planned. I have some really cool things planned and a lot of resources that have been opened up to me now that I'm excited to take advantage of thanks to you guys.

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys all again for your patience and for playing through all the bumps in this game that I've been working very hard to fix .I just want to make a game that you all enjoy!

- Conference Tournament games don’t count towards bracketology when they should

- 7 ft “freak” point guards?? What are we doing here..

- could be just my game, but always 1s and 2 seeds in March madness final four and very very few tournament upsets

- also a couple times my season restarted but saved my recruiting class? Saved my recruits which is awesome but had to replay the entire season

Idk what these last few updates have done but the features added do not make up for the unplayable bugs. Game needs a hard reset. Simming is broken. Game replay doesn’t take affect until half way through the off season. Hard to recruit when you sim through a period and your record remains the same. Too many bugs to list it’s like you dumped the code into Claude and it just scrambled its brains. Back to campus dynasty for me. This game is just to unreliable

We’re aware of the current bugs and issues being reported. There’s no need to keep flooding the subreddit with the same ones we see them and they’re being worked on.

We understand how frustrating it is, especially when it affects gameplay like simming, recruiting, and progression. Fixes are coming.

Appreciate everyone’s patience while we get things stable.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I uploaded the 3.1 update on Thursday night, so it's just taking a while on Apple for some reason. Every bug you guys put in here has been fixed for 3.1. Every game-breaking bug has addressed. There are still some little things I want to get to, but I don't want to hold this update out until I got those done. The quality of life will definitely improve in 3.1!

Also, I just wanted to keep you guys in the loop. I've spent the last 48 hours reorganizing the entire code into more separate modules to better assist me with the bug process. I've also have had time to try out some new things I've been learning and take some advice from people who have reached out in the field. The update should be out tomorrow. Today, just with everything I've done with the app, it's given me a whole new level of excitement and confidence! Thank you for all that you have been sticking through everything.

My game is basically unplayable because it constantly crashes which sucks because it’s fun when it doesn’t crash. Is this a storage issue or possibly due to my phone being behind on software updates?

Hi everyone,

Have loved Hardwood Empire thus far, but wanted to try out a football sim for a bit. Looks like there are a number of college football simulators, which one has been the most fun/realistic?

Just curious, thanks in advance!

Games nearly unplayable cause of bugs. Tried skipping through the season and It skipped through 27/30 games, then after I played the 28th game I went from 27-0 to 25-0.

The budget is never correct and i always have some sort of bug with the amount i’ve used.

all time record is incorrect

When Will the new update be out

You know how in NCAA Basketball 10 if your team performs bad enough for a couple of years then you get devoted to a lower league? Does this game already have that? If not that would be a good feature to add in order to keep the challenge going.

I think there’s a bug during the offseason, I will go through the transfers, then it’ll give me the chance to redshirt. Once I advance to the next step (offseason training) I get the pop up of the breakout player and then it’ll skip training and go directly to the schedule and I can’t go back to training.

Also another bug in recruiting. I get random 2 star commits that I never offered or looked at and they don’t show up on my targets. So I don’t know anything about them but they’re suddenly on my roster.

Reclass recruits:
This would be more of just kind of a niche feature. But every April-June there will be at least one 5 star junior prospect that will suddenly become available as a “reclass.”

Think this would be a cool feature to have if we have an unexpected departure in the offseason, it could just be something to add to the transfer portal cycle.
