FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Notes on data sources, simulation logic, and known limitations.

How are player ratings calculated?
Each rating uses historical performance data, ranked against the entire league in the same era, then normalized to a 0–100 scale. Shooting blends volume and efficiency; playmaking and rebounding use the corresponding production data; defense combines disruptive statistics such as steals and blocks; stamina reflects workload. Exact weights and normalization details are part of the game's internal rating model.

League-wide era rankings keep lineups from different teams comparable. Team-only rankings would inflate standout players on weaker teams and distort competitive balance.
Why do some early-era defensive ratings look less precise?
Official steals and blocks were not recorded until the 1973–74 season. Earlier historical records cannot reconstruct those categories, so early-era defense currently uses a neutral fallback value. It is not a definitive assessment of a player's real defensive ability.
Where do player and season data come from?
Data is compiled from public historical basketball datasets and game records. It is used only for entertainment and prototype demonstration. ALLERA is not an official data source and is not affiliated with or licensed by the NBA or any professional league.
How are player positions determined?
Positions follow the player's listed position for the relevant season. For careers spanning multiple seasons or eras, the game uses the position that best reflects the player's primary role in the selected era.
How are renamed or relocated franchises handled?
Teams are selected under their historical names rather than merged into a current franchise identity. For example, Seattle SuperSonics seasons and Oklahoma City Thunder seasons appear separately, preserving the authentic roster context of each period.
Are simulations based on actual historical results?
No. Results come from an original simplified simulation model using team ratings and quarter-by-quarter score variance. It is an entertainment-focused strategy simulation, not a reconstruction or prediction of real historical games.
How are player box scores and season statistics generated?
Player production is generated from the final team score, assigned minutes, player attributes, lineup role, position, and active game plan. Every box score preserves exactly 240 team minutes, and individual points always add up to the displayed team score. These simulated statistics describe the current ALLERA season only and are not historical claims.
Can I continue an unfinished Coach Mode season?
Yes. Coach Mode saves at game-day boundaries on this device. Return with the same coach name and use the Continue Season button to restore the lineup, schedule, standings, fitness, morale, game log, and player season statistics. A completed season automatically clears its active checkpoint.
How do coach licenses unlock game content?
New coaches begin with the Rookie License, Team Legends draft pool, Quick Sim, one core coach, and the Balanced game plan. Complete one season to earn the Pro License, unlocking the This Era pool, Coach Mode, every coach and game plan, Data Hub, and Collection. Complete a second season to earn the All-Era License and unlock cross-era roster building. Quick Sim makes both license upgrades intentionally fast; advanced challenges continue separately through reputation.
What achievement qualities and categories are available?
The achievement archive contains 56 objectives across Career, Season, Player Records, Tactics, Challenges, and Spotlight. Qualities progress through Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. Objectives cover licenses, career milestones, team chemistry, story decisions, dominant seasons, playoff sweeps, Coach Mode titles, player box-score records, cross-era rosters, and sharing different season posters. When many achievements unlock together, the three highest-quality presentations are shown first while every unlock remains listed in the result report and Career.
What is included in a shared season poster?
Each 1080×1350 poster includes the season finish, record, team rating, final fitness, coach license, era, three statistical leaders, final nine-player rotation, and up to three achievement highlights. Broadcast, Legacy, and Spotlight themes are available. Supported devices can share the PNG directly through the browser; every device can download it, copy the prepared caption, or open an X post. Spotlight achievement progress counts different completed seasons, so repeating the same export does not advance the milestone.
