I dunno if people that read the NBA thread will look for this, but there’s a soccer WC one too 8-0.app

I managed to get 8 wins, but damn it seems hard.

I really don’t know if this is all stats based. If it was someone like Landon Donovan is one of the greatest players of all time rather than a ~replacement level player. Also on my 8-0 I think the defense has arguably 3 of the best players ever at their position while the offense has none and the offense is higher rated.

Man some teams like Indiana really don’t have a single player you want in any era.

I was referring to the overall score at the end of 116. Not PPG lol.

I’ve seen a few overall scores over 120, but it’s uncommon.

Dunno. My first undefeated team only had a score of 110.2, and that was with Toronto-era Pascal Siakam as arguably the weakest link.

Not positive exactly of what would constitute “the perfect team” in this exercise … but I submit that the following is very close:

- 2020s Luka Doncic
- 80s Michael Jordan
- 2010s Lebron James
- **80s** Larry Bird
- 60s Wilt Chamberlain (yes, his 60s Warriors stats are a cheat code)

Or maybe this similar team, trading some assists for a good bump in rebounding:

- 2020s Giannis A. (or is his best season late 2010s? Whatever his best is)
- 2020s Luka Doncic
- 1980s Michael Jordan
- 2010s Lebron James
- 1960s Wilt Chamberlain

Has anyone tried the game today? Looks like they are trying to switch to needing an account. It’s basically unusable now.

Yeah, I signed up for an account but I currently can’t get the left button to work.

I decided to play on HoopIQ mode because having the statistics served up to me didn’t seem especially necessary. After a handful of attempts, I managed to post a 79-3 record with 2020s Luka Doncic at point guard, 2010s Damian Lillard at shooting guard, 2000s LeBron James at small forward, 2010s Kevin Durant at power forward and 1970s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at center. I’m assuming a couple of those losses were a result of having to settle for that slacker Lillard and his (checks notes) 23.5 points per game. I know … woe is me, right?
