Decided to give a Ballbrains a chance, huh? Great! Let’s learn how to play Ballbrains and enjoy the wealth of statistics available within the NBA.
Basics
As you probably already knew, Basketball is a sport where a lot of metrics are tracked to measure individual player performance. (see Abbreviations for all of the categories used in Ballbrains)
This means that each player usually brings skills to the table, which can be observed at an analytical level to rate the player’s effectiveness or efficiency. Some players excel in scoring points, whereas others may be great at generating assists or rebounding for their team.
The Goal of Ballbrains is to figure out who the NBA player presented is based on their career statistics.
Game Modes
We have built a number of Game Modes to provide different levels of difficulty. We recognize that getting the player right even at the Rookie Level can be quite difficult, but to a certain subset of NBA fans, this may feel easy and so we have a number of harder Game Modes to complement your gameplay and provide you with the right challenge.
Each Game Mode feature two key gameplay elements:
- Number of Minimum Seasons/Career Stops
- Available Statistical Categories
Briefly, the harder the difficulty, the less information will be available to help you figure out who the player is. Below are the available statistical categories for each Game Mode.
Rookie
