Every number in Legacy Run traces back to real basketball. This page explains where the ratings come from.
Every player in Legacy Run represents one real season, with his value built from what he actually did that year using the public statistical dataset credited below.
The engine is calibrated against more than 1,600 real team-seasons from across league history, helping keep both individual ratings and team results grounded in what has actually happened.
Five great players do not automatically make a great team. The engine accounts for usage overlap, shooting and spacing, size, defense, rim protection, rebounding, and overall lineup structure when evaluating how a group fits together.
In dynasty mode, every player ages on a curve built from how real careers have actually risen and declined. Young cores grow toward their prime, old cores fade, and no dynasty lasts forever.
Building a long-lasting dynasty is a different challenge from building one great team. You have to know when to ride an aging star, when to move him before the decline hits, and when a young player's future value matters more than what he can deliver right now. Every championship also brings stronger real teams into your next playoff bracket, so sustaining a dynasty gets harder with every title you win.
