82-0 is a basketball roster-building and season-simulation strategy game. You draft a five-player starting lineup across five rounds, with each round dealing a randomized basketball franchise and historical era. After building your squad, you simulate an 82-game regular season and chase the elusive undefeated record.

Each round spins a random franchise and historical era (from the 1960s to the 2020s). The game populates an eligible pool of historical and modern player archetypes for a specific position (PG, SG, SF, PF, C). You select one player per round to lock into your five-man lineup.

You draft exactly five players—one at each traditional court position: Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward, and Center. Completing a full, balanced five-player lineup provides a vital chemistry boost.

The simulator uses your team rating—calculated from overall ability (45%), offense (20%), defense (20%), and team chemistry (15%)—to model game-by-game win probabilities. Realistic random variance is applied so no game is a guaranteed victory, generating authentic box scores, clutch moments, and realistic regular-season standings.
