Think you know basketball? Prove it. Roster Drafts puts your knowledge of basketball history to the test. Spin the wheel, get a team, and draft that team's greatest players, position by position, to build the ultimate five-man roster. How It Works Each turn, you spin for a random NBA franchise. Then you draft one player from that team's history, i.e. a Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward, or Center. Stack the best lineup you can. When both rosters are full, scores are calculated and a winner is crowned. Decades of History Choose from legends across six decades from the 1970s through the 2020s. Every era of basketball is here, from the hardwood pioneers to today's superstars. Three Ways to Play - Solo Mode โ€” Go up against the Neural Roster, a CPU opponent with its own strategic draft logic. Great for practice or a quick game. - PVP Mode โ€” Go up against an Offline Friend's Roster and play turn by turn, with its own strategic draft logic. Great for practice or a quick game. - Multiplayer Mode โ€” Challenge a real opponent in real-time. Matchmake with a stranger or create a private room and invite a friend with a room code. Games are live for both players take turns simultaneously watching the other draft. Wagering System Every online game has stakes. Bet coins on the outcome and the winner takes all. Higher stakes mean tougher competition and bigger trophies. Win big, earn trophies, climb through the ranks. Trophy Collection Win at each stake level to earn exclusive trophies. Build your collection and show off your knowledge of basketball history. Fair Play Our multiplayer system is built to keep games honest: - Disconnect protection โ€” if your opponent goes offline, a timer starts and you win by forfeit if they don't return - Spin lock-in โ€” once you've spun a team, it's yours. No rerolling for a better matchup - Turn timers keep games moving Free to Play Start with coins and earn more through rewards. Buy coin packs if you want to play higher-stakes games faster.

About

Road to Crown

Read full description

Build a roster from a deck of cards, then find out what you drafted. Eleven seats. Five offers a round. Every player hides his rating โ€” all you get is the line he actually put up, the club he played for, and the year. Read the numbers, back your judgement, and live with it. THE DRAFT Sign one of five, eleven times over. Chase a slugger, stack a rotation, or spread your bets. The cards you refuse are gone. SYNERGY Fill a lineup with one nation, one club, one season or one playing style and the bonuses compound. Overcommit and a single weakness sinks the run. THE CHASE Regular season, Interleague Cup, Pennant, Final Series. Take all three and you have the Triple Crown. Take everything and it is a Grand Slam. CAREER Five seasons on one job. Your board's trust is a health bar โ€” win and it climbs, stumble and you are out. Work up the ladder from a bottom club to a contender. THE ALBUM Every player you sign sticks to a page. Fill a league, fill a season, fill the book. THREE LEAGUES The United States, Korea and Japan, each with its own shape: the run environments differ, the positions are scarce in different places, and a lineup that wins in one will not in another. SEASONS PAST Start a career in another decade and draft from the talent that was actually around. โ€” Every player in this game is fictional. Names and records are generated from the statistical shape of real leagues; any resemblance to a real player is unintended. No league, club or player marks are used.
