Rimrise: Basketball Career Sim

Seventeen, and nobody has heard of you. When to stop is your call.

A simulation of one basketball player's career, from the first practice to the last game. You are not running a team; you are living as one player. The season plays a month at a time; 2.3.2 adds weekly ranking seasons and a Hall of Fame.

■ September to the Finals, a month at a time
Camp in September, the regular season October to April, the playoffs in May, the Finals in June. One tap plays a month and shows its games, your box score and exactly what grew: Shooting 64 → 65 +1. Turn on Auto and the months run on their own, stopping when something matters.

■ Eleven stats and a growth plan
Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, double-doubles and player of the game all feed growth, and the higher a stat, the more a +1 costs. Each season, pick one or two stats to focus on and how hard to work, or tap Recommended. Every stat stops somewhere, and you only find where by reaching it.

■ Coaches and 16 specialties
Your pay hires a skills coach and a strength coach. Reach the stat a specialty needs and learn it: Deep Three, Floater, No-Look Pass, Rim Protector, Closer and more. Every effect is a number you see before you pay.

■ Awards every month, and every season
Player of the Month, Best Five of the Month, Play of the Month and Defense of the Month, decided by the month's numbers alone. An awards night closes each season: World, Franchise and Fans' Player of the Year.

■ The odds are never hidden
Each choice shows its outcome probabilities before you decide. Starting-stat roll odds are the same for free rolls, rewarded ads and tickets.

■ Draft night, trades, contracts
Play college or a first division abroad, and declare when the scouts are ready: the board shows your chance of the first round, the second, or going undrafted. In the top league a contract will not keep you where you are. The team screen shows your trade chance and why, and when a deal ends, offers arrive.
