Game mechanics

How 82‑0 works

Draft 5 legends from across NBA history. Every stat is era-adjusted. Smart lineups unlock chemistry bonuses. One goal: go undefeated.

The loop

Spin — get a random team & era. Reroll one of them once per round.

Pick — choose 1 player from that team's roster. Assign them a position on court.

Score — after 5 picks your roster is evaluated. Stats are era-weighted, bonuses stack.

Era adjustment

Raw stats aren't equal across decades. A 30-point season in the 70s isn't the same as one in the 90s — scoring was inflated, defense softer. Each era has a multiplier applied to pts, reb, and ast.
