Hardwood Empire 3.5 is being submitted to the App Store today and should be out in the coming days.

This one adds a coaching pressure layer, a real player development system, a rebuilt transfer portal, and a reworked pro draft.

Player Development
Set a Focus for every player and his growth follows it. New Offseason Training Camp lets you spend development points to push guys toward 99, and a Growth History tab tracks every player's year-by-year climb. The redshirt call now comes after camp, so you decide once you've seen the jump.

Coaching Pressure & Season Story
Your AD sets preseason expectations, and you're graded against them with a new End-of-Season Report Card. Morale & Locker Room rebuilt, talk to any player, make real promises, and keep them or lose his trust. New Story Events pull real players from your roster, with real consequences.

New Transfer Portal
Portal points now scale with your open roster spots, so rebuilds get real chances. Recruiting skill matters more than prestige, top transfers are harder to land, and position crowding is respected. No more free superteams.

Smarter Pro Draft
The entire pro draft was reworked, who declares and who can be talked into staying now weighs position, OVR, potential, stats, your development track record, and more.

Game Day
New Game Preview Gameplan you can mix and match inline, redesigned halftime adjustments (now 3x2 with a sixth option), and a cleaner post-game box score. Plus bigger title celebrations, conference and national championships now get logo glow, confetti, haptics, and sound.

Custom Rosters
Add a logo per conference at center court, plus one-tap Update Conference Logos for existing dynasties.

Polish
Premium in-game notifications (the gray toast pills are gone), tabular figures on scores and clocks, bigger tap targets, and real press feedback everywhere.

Bug Fixes & More
Faster recruiting with arrows to flip through prospects, committed recruits now show true OVR/POT, more social-media takes with clickable player names, injuries now correctly miss games, fixed dead taps at the top of screens, and squashed a recruiting-changeover crash.

Appreciate everyone who keeps playing and pushing this game forward.

[Home Run Empire @HomeRunEmpire]

@3rdAndJacks I’ll fix that for u

[Home Run Empire @HomeRunEmpire]

Home Run Empire update 1.2.5 is out! I've been working with everyone that said they had a busted file and recovering covering all their saves so hopefully most of the bug fixes are good I can finally get to adding more of the features you guys want.

Android Update: Everything is good to go.I just haven't had had many testers respond and give feedback on how it plays that frequently. If you guys want, I can just release it now in the state that it's in, knowing that it might be laggy, but I'd really appreciate it if some people reached out wanting to test on Android.

Anyways, thanks for all your patience and constant support.

@jimmmybob6769 I'd say try to go after players who really have interest in you. The points have 7 times the value as they do in hardwood

[Home Run Empire @HomeRunEmpire]

This is the recruits going pro. Each recruit has MLB draft odds.

If you’re referring to a signing day, not seeing the names, there’s a glitch or not every name that signs pro is being shown. I can show you that they are being drafted though. I submitted a 1.2.3 that fixes just this. You also have the ability to turn this off in the Settings tab.

[Home Run Empire @HomeRunEmpire]
