Music Star Idle Life SimulatorSponsored
Music Star Idle Life SimulatorSponsoredGuide a young athlete through middle and high school to professional basketball, balancing training and life.
You are not the coach. You are one kid with a basketball, and you get about fifty-six decisions between fifth grade and the end of your career.
Basketball Prospect is a career simulator. It doesn't ask you to play basketball — it asks you what a young athlete's life should be spent on. Four turns a year: the offseason, the summer circuit, preseason, and the season itself. Each turn you split a hundred focus points across seven kinds of training, plus schoolwork, rest, and having a life outside the gym.
They all come out of the same hundred. That is the whole game.

WHAT YOU DECIDE
• Which middle school, and then which high school — the zoned public school, the private one you'd have to find tuition for, the powerhouse where you might not play, the small school where you'd be the whole offense
• Which summer circuit team, and whether the family can afford the season
• Whether to train through a tired week or rest, knowing an injury is a real possibility either way
• Whether to keep your grades up, because an ineligible season costs you a year of being seen
• Which scholarship offer to take, when to transfer, when to declare
WHAT YOU DON'T CONTROL
Height is inherited from your parents and arrives on its own schedule — you might be the tallest kid in seventh grade and done growing, or spend high school waiting and add four inches as a senior. Your ceiling in every skill is set before you start and is never shown to you as a number.
Working out what kind of player you actually are is part of playing.
Position isn't a choice either. It's recalculated from your height and your skills every year, so growing five inches can move you from the point to the four and change what the rest of your career looks like.
HOW IT ENDS
Most careers don't reach the pros. Being cut, losing a season to grades, going undrafted, playing out a developmental contract — these are branches, not failures. A career that ends as a legend in one town is a real ending, and there are better and worse versions of it.
There is exactly one ending the game won't let you come back from, and you'll know it when you see it.
WHAT'S IN IT
• A full career: fifth grade, middle school, high school, college, the pros, retirement
• Season stat lines, team records, playoffs, honors, and a career table
• National and state rankings for your class, with named rivals whose careers run alongside yours and who pass you when you stall
• Over 240 written scenes — coaches, parents, teammates, trainers, reporters, money, and the parts of a season that aren't games
• Offline. No account. One career at a time, saved as you go
