How to Play Chase82
Chase82 is a fast NBA lineup simulator built around one question: could your five go 82-0? Draft a starting five, test your basketball IQ, and simulate a full 82-game season. Some modes give you player stats. Some hide the numbers. Some let you build the greatest lineup from one franchise. And in Chemistry Mode, real-world player relationships can change everything.
1. The Goal
Your goal is simple: build the best five-man basketball lineup possible and see how close your team can get to 82-0.
Every pick matters. A great scorer can carry a round. A balanced roster can survive the season. And the wrong fit can turn a dream lineup into a 70-win disappointment.
2. Basic Rules
In most Chase82 modes, you build a five-player lineup and then simulate an 82-game season.
You usually pick one player at a time from a limited player pool. Depending on the mode, that pool may be based on a random team and year, a hidden-stat challenge, or one franchise's entire history.
Once your five players are locked in, the simulator projects your final regular-season record.
3. Step-by-Step
1- Choose a game mode Start with Classic, Blind Mode, Franchise Mode, or Chemistry Mode.
2- Get your player pool Depending on the mode, Chase82 gives you a random team and year, hides the stats, or lets you build from one franchise's history.
3- Draft five players Use points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, position balance, and basketball instinct to build your starting five.
4- Lock your lineup Once your five players are selected, your roster is ready for the season simulation.
5- Simulate 82 games Run the season and see your final record.
6- Share your result Got 82-0? Fell short at 79-3? Built a cursed lineup? Share it and let other fans judge your picks.
4. Classic Mode
Classic Mode is the original Chase82 experience.
You get a random team and year, then choose from players who played for that team in that season. Player stats like PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, and BPG are visible, so every pick is a mix of numbers, memory, and basketball judgment.
If you want the cleanest version of the 82-0 challenge, start here.
5. Blind Mode
Blind Mode removes the safety net.
The rules are similar to Classic Mode, but player stats are hidden. No PPG. No RPG. No easy comparisons. You have to draft from memory and trust your hoops IQ.
This is the mode for fans who think they really know NBA history.
6. Franchise Mode
Franchise Mode lets you settle every all-time team debate.
Choose or search for a franchise, then build a starting five from that team's history. Lakers legends, Bulls icons, Warriors shooters, Celtics winners - every franchise creates a different kind of challenge.
Build the greatest five your team has ever seen, then run the season.
7. Chemistry Mode
Chemistry Mode adds what box scores can't show.
Based on Classic Mode, this mode adds real-world player relationships, teammate history, rivalries, public stories, and chemistry effects. Great relationships can boost your lineup. Bad fits can hurt your season.
Because basketball is not played in a spreadsheet.
8. Tips to Chase 82-0
Want a better shot at the perfect season?
Build around balance, not just scoring. A lineup with elite scoring, passing, rebounding, defense, and positional fit usually has a better chance than five players who all need the ball.
In Classic Mode, use the stats. In Blind Mode, trust your memory. In Franchise Mode, think about eras. In Chemistry Mode, remember that talent is only part of the story.
