HoopSim is a cross-era basketball simulator. Pick any player-season from 1951–2025, build 10-man rosters, and let a statistical model decide the box score. THREE MODES • Matchup — One game, head-to-head. Build two teams from any era and simulate a single game, or run hundreds of sims for win odds and score distributions. • Season — Full season + playoffs. Draft your roster (free picks or salary cap), face a league of rivals, then chase a title through a best-of-7 bracket. • Versus — Play against friends, live. Share a 6-character join code, chat in lobby, and settle it in a best-of-7 series. HOW IT WORKS HoopSim runs stochastic box-score simulations on a hosted model — the same engine powering matchup odds, season games, and Versus series. Rosters are player-seasons (e.g. Jordan ’98, Jokic ’23), so you can mix eras freely. FREE TO USE No accounts. No in-app purchases. No ads. For entertainment only. Not affiliated with the NBA, NBPA, or any team. Player names and statistics are derived from publicly available NBA data.
