Draft 5 NBA players. Battle a real opponent. 60 seconds on the clock.
DraftBattle is a fast-paced asynchronous PvP draft game. Every match starts with a themed prompt — "Best fast-break starting 5", "All-time clutch shooters", "Build a team that beats peak Shaq" — and a fresh pool of NBA players from every era. You have 60 seconds to lock in your roster.
The twist: your draft isn't graded by an algorithm. It's matched against another real player who drafted the same prompt. Whoever built the better squad wins. If no human has played that prompt yet, you face a stand-in roster, and your draft becomes the opponent for the next player who picks it.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
- Real opponents, not bots. Your picks live on as someone else's matchup.
- Themed prompts that change weekly. Fresh meta every time you open the app.
- 60-second drafts. Fits in a commercial break.
- Hundreds of players spanning every era — from Russell to Wemby.
- Tag-based scoring focused on roles and chemistry, so a balanced 5 beats a five-superstar pile.
- Daily prompts drop at midnight. Be first on the leaderboard or fall behind.
