Draft real players from every era of basketball history and simulate full seasons to see how legends from different decades match up. Or take over a team today and run it for decades in Franchise. 4,500+ players. 360+ real coaches. Eight decades, from the 1950s to today. NEW: FRANCHISE Take over any team with today's real rosters and contracts, or start from a fantasy draft, then run it for as many years as you like. Trade with front offices that act like the real ones: contenders buy, rebuilders sell, and everyone counts the cost of the luxury tax and the aprons. Scout and work out prospects, sweat the lottery, run draft night, chase free agents, manage the cap, set your rotation and send young players to the Minor League. Watch players develop, age and retire, hang their numbers in the rafters and send the greats to the Hall of Fame. 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. • 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 squad play a full, historically accurate season and playoffs. The engine runs a real basketball simulation: spacing, pace, defense, rebounding, experience, all of it. ERA GAUNTLET A roguelike run through basketball history. Draft nine players, then survive four 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. Every act ends against a real dynasty boss, from the 1957 Celtics to the 2025 Thunder. Four maps, including a full eight-decade Odyssey. 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, bigger boosts. 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. Build your player by choosing an era, class, origin, frame and abilities, then work your way from open runs to college, the draft and the league. Roll dice off your build to win the games that define your career. Your choices shape the story: relationships, endorsements, money, standing 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. Your score counts more than wins: records, point differential, team rating, your coach's grade and roster bonuses. Compete globally, synced with the web version, or against your Game Center friends. ACHIEVEMENTS, CARDS AND YOUR PLAYER CARD 130+ achievements, from common to legendary. Unlock cards by winning titles with the exact player, team and era shown. Your shareable player card shows your rating, record in every mode, placements, and the players and coach you keep coming back to. Lifetime stats track every season you've played. Built for basketball fans.

EraBall's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
