## What is EraBall?

Draft real players from every era of basketball history and simulate full seasons to see how legends from different decades match up.

4,500+ players. 360+ real coaches. Eight decades, from the 1950s to today.

PICK YOUR ERA
Choose from basketball's greatest periods, from the early pioneers of the game to today's stars. Every era plays with its own historically accurate style, pace, rules and strategy.

BUILD YOUR ROSTER
Draft in five modes:
• Normal/H2H: Classic draft, pick the best team you can.
• Salary Cap: Player tier limits force real trade-offs.
• Sandbox: No limits, build your dream team and play around.
• Era Gauntlet: Draft and survive a roguelike run through basketball history.
• Weekly Challenge: New draft and sim rules and a new leaderboard every week.

DRAFT YOUR COACH
Every coach carries their real career record: grades, championship pedigree, and franchise pairings with select players that boost each other's ratings.

SIMULATE & COMPETE
Watch your drafted squad play through a full, historically accurate season and into the playoffs. The engine runs a real basketball simulation, taking into account spacing, pace, defense, rebounding, experience, all of it.

ERA GAUNTLET
A roguelike run through basketball history. Draft nine players, then survive 4 segments per act while the owner's patience runs down. Sign free agents, develop your roster with badges, and hop forward a decade at a time as your legends age out of their prime. Every act ends against a real dynasty boss, from the 1957 Celtics to the 2025 Thunder. Four maps to travel, including a full eight-decade Odyssey. Lose a boss series with enough owner patience left and you get another shot. Run out of patience and you're fired.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE
New rules every week, with its own leaderboard. Locked eras, strict tier limits, banned traits, increased boosts: a fresh roster puzzle to solve each time.

HEAD-TO-HEAD
Challenge friends in real-time multiplayer. Draft against each other and let your teams battle it out in the finals.

THE LEAGUE
A single-player tabletop RPG inside EraBall. Build your player by choosing an era, class, origin, frame and abilities. Work your way from open runs to college, the draft and the league. Roll dice off your build's abilities to win the stretches and games that define your career. Your choices shape the story: relationships, endorsements, homes, money, standing, trust and more.

MINI GAMES
Four quick games with a daily puzzle and an unlimited mode: Daily Card, Higher or Lower, Franchise Roulette and State Hunt.

LEADERBOARDS
A board for every era in every mode, plus a weekly board that archives when the challenge rotates. Ranking isn't just based on wins. Regular season and playoff records, point differential, team rating, and your coach's grade all feed a real score, along with bonuses based on team composition. Compare globally on a leaderboard synced with the web version, or against your Game Center friends, and watch your placements stack up on your account card.

ACHIEVEMENTS
130+ achievements to chase, from common to legendary. Locked ones tell you exactly what they want. Collect achievements to boost your account rating.

CARD COLLECTION
Win championships with the exact player, team and era shown on a card a set number of times to unlock it. Filter by decade and rarity and fill out every era. More cards on the way.

YOUR PLAYER CARD
A shareable profile built from everything you've done: overall rating, lifetime record in every mode, leaderboard placements, your most-drafted player, your most-benched player, and the coach you keep coming back to.

TRACK YOUR LEGACY
Lifetime stats track your history across every season and mode you've played. See your all-time record, best teams, and favorite eras.

Built for basketball fans.
