Legacy Run is a free basketball sim game. You draft five players from any team-season, and a rating engine calibrated on real pro basketball plays out how far that five would go. EVERY PLAYER IS A REAL SEASON Every card in the game is one specific season. The 2015-16 Stephen Curry you draft is the MVP year, with that year's real stats. BUILD YOUR FIVE Each of your five picks starts with a spin. The wheel lands on a real team and season, and you take one player from that roster. You get one team re-spin and one year re-spin per draft. You fill five positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. RUN THE SEASON The engine plays out a full 82-game season, complete with hot and cold streaks. You can then enter the playoffs against real championship teams from throughout league history. The competition gets tougher every year, with each title raising the difficulty. RUN IT BACK After any season, you can keep your five and run it back. Players age as their careers did, along with their real season statistics. You get one trade per season, with a value system that keeps deals fair. THE DAILY CHALLENGE There is a new puzzle every day, built around the same anchor star and a salary cap. The formats rotate through seven mini-games: Mystery Legend, Climb, Scout, The Trophy, Cliques, Board, and Roll Call. MODES Classic: draft five player-seasons and play out a full 82-game season. Make the playoffs, run it back, manage your roster as players age, and see how long you can keep a dynasty alive. Arcade: Classic player ratings, with an added layer of lineup chemistry. Peak: use an extra spin to turn one player you drafted into a different season from his career. Challenge Modes: Draft your team from a single franchise or decade. & Much More! PRO Pro unlocks every extra layer of Legacy Run. Advanced scouting reports and player stats, shot profiles, live broadcasts of playoff and head-to-head series, Team Vault and Dynasty Save slots, every past Daily Challenge, Ladders, and court skins.
