The objective of 82-0 is to construct a historical NBA roster capable of achieving a perfect undefeated season. Your success is determined by a non-linear simulation engine that evaluates the raw statistical output across five rounds.
1. The Draft
Each round, you receive a random NBA team and decade combination. Select one player from that era to add to your roster. Complete all 5 rounds to fill your starting lineup (PG, SG, SF, PF, C).
2. Statistical Aggregation
Your team is rated on five core metrics: Points (PPG), Rebounds (RPG), Assists (APG), Steals (SPG), and Blocks (BPG). The engine evaluates each player's peak performance within their assigned decade. Era-adjusted so 1960s legends keep value vs modern pace.
3. The 82-Game Simulation
Once the draft is finalized, the engine runs your aggregate stats through a win-projection curve. To reach 82-0, you must maximize cumulative output across all five categories at once — penalties kick in if any stat dips below Contender thresholds.
4. Game Modes
Classic: Full stats visible — make informed picks.
HoopIQ: Stats hidden — draft from memory and basketball IQ.
