Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is Chase82?

Chase82 is an NBA-inspired team builder and basketball lineup simulator. You draft a five-player lineup, simulate a full 82-game season, and see if your team can go undefeated.

Q2. Is Chase82 the same as 82-0?

No. Chase82 is an independent NBA-inspired team builder and lineup simulator. It was inspired by the 82-0 challenge idea - building a five-player lineup and chasing a perfect 82-game season - but Chase82 adds its own game modes, smoother UI/UX, franchise-based drafting, hidden-stat challenges, and Chemistry Mode with real-world player relationships.

The goal is simple: draft your five, simulate the season, and see if your lineup can chase 82-0.

Q3. How do you play Chase82?

Choose a mode, draft five players, lock your lineup, and simulate an 82-game season. Your final record shows how close your team came to the perfect 82-0 season.

Q4. What does 82-0 mean?

82-0 means winning all 82 games in a regular season. In Chase82, it represents the perfect season and the ultimate lineup-building challenge.

Q5. What is Classic Mode?

Classic Mode gives you a random team and year. You choose players from that team and season, using visible stats like PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, and BPG to build the strongest five-player lineup possible.

Q6. What is Blind Mode?

Blind Mode is the no-stats challenge. The gameplay is similar to Classic Mode, but player stats are hidden. You have to draft from memory, basketball knowledge, and instinct.

Q7. What is Franchise Mode?

Franchise Mode lets you choose or search for one NBA franchise and build a five-player lineup from that team's entire history. It is designed for all-time team debates and franchise fans.

Q8. What is Chemistry Mode?

Chemistry Mode adds real-world basketball stories and player relationships to the simulation. Teammate history, rivalries, public tension, and strong chemistry can affect how your lineup performs.

Q9. What stats should I look at when drafting players?

In stat-based modes, you can use PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, and BPG as quick clues. Scoring helps, but elite passing, rebounding, defense, and roster balance can matter just as much.

Q10. Can five great scorers always go 82-0?

Not always. A lineup needs more than points. Ball dominance, defense, rebounding, playmaking, positional fit, and chemistry can all affect the final result.

Q11. What is the best strategy to go 82-0?

The best strategy is to build a balanced lineup. Look for elite scoring, strong defense, playmaking, rebounding, and players who fit together. In Blind Mode, historical memory matters. In Chemistry Mode, relationships matter too.

Q12. Can I build an all-time Lakers, Bulls, Warriors, Celtics, or Knicks lineup?

Yes. Franchise Mode is designed for all-time team building. You can choose a franchise and build a starting five from that team's history.

Q13. Is Chase82 free to play?

Yes. Chase82 is designed as a free browser-based basketball game.

Q14. Do I need an account to play?

No account is required to start playing. You can build a lineup and simulate a season directly in your browser.

Q15. Can I share my result?

Yes. After the simulation, you can share your final record and lineup. Whether you went 82-0, 79-3, or built a disaster, the result is part of the fun.

Q16. Is Chase82 affiliated with the NBA?

No. Chase82 is an independent basketball simulation game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NBA, any NBA team, or the NBPA. Player names and statistics may be used as factual references.
