- 📦EraBall updated to version 3.4.5NEW: DEEP CUT
A new daily mini game. Ten prompts from one decade, 30 seconds each. Name a player who fits, and the rarer your answer, the more it scores. See how many players gave each answer and how rare yours was. Unlimited mode lets you play as many ladders as you like.
EASIER TO GET AROUND
- The same buttons in the same order on every screen.
- Your lineup stays pinned above the player pool while you draft. Tap a slot to place a player.
- Settings opens at half height. Pull it up for the rest.
- Bigger text on the leaderboard and in the draft, and a bigger A to Z index in the Player Database.
- Head to Head explains the mode and offers Game Center sign-in when you are signed out.
FRANCHISE
- Breaking a promise by trading or waiving a player now costs significant culture and credibility. The trade screen marks promised players and shows the cost before you deal.
- Teams no longer give away rotation players for nothing, even with trade rules off.
- More stars change teams in the summer, and rebuilding teams move their older stars.
- A team's plans follow its record: winning teams contend and keep their stars.
- Offensive and Defensive Anchors are worth more on the trade market.
- The lottery shows who holds each pick and where it came from.
- Better use of the iPad in the lobby and side menu.
GAUNTLET
- Added 2 options for upgrades in the Gauntlet instead of one.
- Increased cost of various upgrades.
SANDBOX
- Added the ability to add or remove tags from players.
VISUALS
- Opening player cards looks more premium.
FIXES
- Alpha: tap a player, then confirm. The card shows what it costs.
- A Lone Wolf from Alpha now gets the Lone Wolf boost on his own duo or mentorship.
- Your stats can no longer be wiped by opening the app with no signal, and linking Apple and Google merges the two accounts.
- Era effects use less battery.
- Mini games are optimized for iPad and Mac screens.
- Play again button shows after submitting to the leaderboard.
- Tags like Alpha and Franchise pair correctly show their rating effect on the cards. The effect was working, but it was not being reflected on the cards themselves.
- Misc Gauntlet fixes: Cancel button now works in desperation, you get the option between S or A in desperation, FPS improvements, Premium Re spin now shows)… more - ✏️EraBall: description updated· US

About EraBall
Draft real players from every era of basketball history and simulate full seasons to see how legends from different decades match up. Or take over a team today and run it for decades in Franchise.
4,500+ players. 360+ real coaches. Eight decades, from the 1950s to today.
NEW: FRANCHISE
Take over any team with today's real rosters and contracts, or start from a fantasy draft, then run it for as many years as you like. Trade with front offices that act like the real ones: contenders buy, rebuilders sell, and everyone counts the cost of the luxury tax and the aprons. Scout and work out prospects, sweat the lottery, run draft night, chase free agents, manage the cap, set your rotation and send young players to the Minor League. Watch players develop, age and retire, hang their numbers in the rafters and send the greats to the Hall of Fame.
PICK YOUR ERA
Choose from basketball's greatest periods, from the early pioneers of the game to today's stars. Every era plays with its own historically accurate style, pace, rules and strategy.
BUILD YOUR ROSTER
Draft in five modes:
• Normal/H2H: Classic draft, pick the best team you can.
• Salary Cap: Player tier limits force real trade-offs.
• Sandbox: No limits, build your dream team.
• Era Gauntlet: Draft and survive a roguelike run through basketball history.
• Weekly Challenge: New draft and sim rules and a new leaderboard every week.
DRAFT YOUR COACH
Every coach carries their real career record: grades, championship pedigree, and franchise pairings with select players that boost each other's ratings.
SIMULATE & COMPETE
Watch your squad play a full, historically accurate season and playoffs. The engine runs a real basketball simulation: spacing, pace, defense, rebounding, experience, all of it.
ERA GAUNTLET
A roguelike run through basketball history. Draft nine players, then survive four segments per act while the owner's patience runs down. Sign free agents, develop your roster with badges, and hop forward a decade at a time as your legends age. Every act ends against a real dynasty boss, from the 1957 Celtics to the 2025 Thunder. Four maps, including a full eight-decade Odyssey. Run out of patience and you're fired.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
New rules every week, with its own leaderboard: locked eras, strict tier limits, banned traits, bigger boosts.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Challenge friends in real-time multiplayer. Draft against each other and let your teams battle it out in the finals.
THE LEAGUE
A single-player tabletop RPG. Build your player by choosing an era, class, origin, frame and abilities, then work your way from open runs to college, the draft and the league. Roll dice off your build to win the games that define your career. Your choices shape the story: relationships, endorsements, money, standing and more.
MINI GAMES
