The rules
01SPIN

Every spin lands a franchise era — anywhere greatness happened, 1921 to today. One legend era guaranteed per run.

02DRAFT

Twelve seats, your order — tap any open seat to spin it. Every pick flips the card: the honors, the rings, the real numbers.

03SURVIVE

Seventeen weeks, then January. A playoff loss ends the run. Go undefeated — a perfect 20-0 — and join the immortals; most rosters don’t.

How an undefeated run actually works

Each round spins up one franchise era — a city and a window of years, anywhere back to 1966 — and lays out that era’s whole squad with real season statistics on every card. You pick a player, choose his seat, and move on. Twelve seats later the season simulates week by week: your roster’s era-fair ratings combine in a position-weighted team score, and a single playoff loss ends the run. A fantasy draft on top of a season simulator — that is the whole genre, played straight.

Why era-fair ratings matter

An all-time game is only as honest as its cross-era math. Every player-season here is rated on how good it actually was — production, honors, reputation, against its own era — so a 1962 linebacker and a 2024 edge rusher can share a board without either being a trap pick. The method is public: how the ratings work.

Every sport has its perfect season game

The perfect season game, NFL style: football runs twelve seats, twenty games, and a shared Daily Challenge with streaks — the place to build an undefeated NFL team. The NBA version: basketball runs a starting five through the true 82-game season — chase an undefeated NBA team. The MLB version is the deep end: baseball fields a lineup and a rotation against 162 games, franchise eras back to 1871 — chase a perfect MLB season. And it keeps going: college football (a 16-0 run wins the title), golf across twenty scheduled events, including all four majors, and soccer, where the unbeaten season has a name of its own — the Invincibles — plus hockey (98-0 to the Cup) and the all-time cricket XI, fourteen matches and the knockouts without a loss.

Questions people actually ask

What is a perfect season game?

A roster-building game where you draft an all-time team under constraints — here, one random franchise era per round — and a simulated season decides whether you run the table. Going undefeated is the trophy; the grade ladder below it is the game.

How rare is a perfect season?

Most finished runs fall short. The difficulty is tuned openly against the rating math — the curve is published on the how-ratings-work page — so a perfect season stays a real achievement rather than a participation stamp.

Is it luck or skill?

Both, honestly. The eras you spin are luck; what you do with a loaded round — which seat you spend it on, when to burn a re-roll, and how you build strength across the board — is skill. Every pick contributes to the position-weighted team score.

Which sports can I play?

11 sports, each with its own daily board: football, basketball, cricket, baseball, college football, college basketball, golf, soccer, hockey, women’s basketball and Aussie rules. Football runs twelve seats against a twenty-game season; basketball drafts a starting five for the true 82-game season; cricket bats eight deep against fourteen matches and the knockouts; baseball fields a full lineup and rotation against 162 games; golf balances six BOMB, IRON and SHORT seats — and every sport runs its own native format.
