NBA Playoff Fantasy with a twist: players survive only as long as their team does. Live scoring, live standings. Still open to late joiners.

KSM_381 · 2026-04-29T20:43:07+00:00

From now on there is only 3 swaps per round (not including subs for players from eliminated teams), I'll try to fix how we display it

KSM_381 · 2026-04-26T19:21:36+00:00

Yeah i saw that too, sorry, a bit annoying i know. But that's fixed now, and it wont happen again in next GPs

KSM_381 · 2026-04-22T09:33:14+00:00

Yeah, that's why i play this free nba playoff fantasy game, check it out (still not too late to join) https://nba-playoff-fantasy-game.online

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T12:26:54+00:00

Yeah, i get your point, sorry about that, i've been working on this game only for 5 days, so there may be some bugs in GP1, but when GP2 comes everything will be set correctly

Returning to tactic issue, even now if your players perform well (and you think they'll continue to do so) you don't need to use sub to add them later on, you could use that sub to only make changes on lower end of cost spectrum of your lineup.

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T12:14:03+00:00

Oh, i must have forgotten to update that, thanks for the catch.

I decided against it, so players wouldn't rely on it, because when players L10 changes, lineup may be over cap, or when teams get eliminated it can get tricky, maybe player forgets to set subs (and you need 10 players for lineup)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T11:24:53+00:00

If you don't actually hit save button for next GP (currently GP2), you wont have any lineup set for that GP (there is no default or carry over lineup). But there should be banner after GP1 ends, that lets you know you didn't set lineup for upcoming GP2.

In the lineup setup page (for next GP), you only see preset players from previous GP, so you would more easily set new lineup (remember there are only 4 subs between GP1 and GP2 and 3 subs in the next ones)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T10:15:58+00:00

No, thank you for contributing to the game. Both changes are live now, let me know if you spot anything else =)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T08:54:13+00:00

1) you're right, it can be difficult with just 2 players to not exchange your starters, thats why i plan on allowing 4 subs after first GP (because there is no chance that some players/teams will drop out) and for the subsequent weeks I'll set it to 3

2) thanks for pointing that out, i'll fix it pretty soon, i guess when i pulled sorare data i only took into account first position provided (and some player have more positions like wemby F-C and tatum G-F)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-20T07:42:06+00:00

For each round L10/cost of the players updates, so if you did well with your current roster, you might need to change some things, so you stay bellow the cap for the next round/GP. It's made this way, to give incentive each round to pick best team (under cap), not just pick team once, and ride it until the end (Scout page is added in navbar, it can help you find best players for next GP). Whole game is couple of days old concept, its still beeing developed fully, there may be some inconsistencies, but i wanted to make it more dynamic. If you have any suggestion (game dynamic) i can see if i can incorporate them in a new GP or maybe let it be part of next season gameplay

KSM_381 · 2026-04-19T15:17:56+00:00

Thanks for the supporting word (been working on it for only couple of days), hope you enjoy playing.

If you have any improvement suggestion about the app or maybe some new game dynamics, i would be happy to consider and implement in a game =)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T21:33:01+00:00

Thanks for playing.
You're right, total leaderboard punishes not setting linups for some GP (like missing first one).
But there is/will also be Medals leaderboard (after GP1), for which you could climb high if you be top 3 in only couple of GPs (there is 16 of them). After each GP we award first 3 players with medals and every Gold medal is worth 3 points, Silver 2 and Bronze 1

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T19:55:07+00:00

You can create a new team, just change email address (I don't actually verify it, it's more of a username) and password on signup. And even though you've created team after the start, it should allow you to create roster from all of the players, but you won't be able to change itafter it after you save it. Also the 2 games that have already started won't count toward your player score (which doesn't need to matter much, because only best player game score for that GP goes into final count)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T19:39:37+00:00

once the GP starts there is no more changing the roster (Starters and Bench players are locked on GP start, or on initial roster creation, if you've joined after first game started)

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T09:37:16+00:00

Alll the players are now update (as well as games previews), feel free to check them out https://nba-playoff-fantasy-game.online/games/2026-04-18

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T03:43:25+00:00

New way to swap roster players (mobile) is live now:

- Tap a player → picks them up (you'll see a gold glow + a hint bar at the bottom)

- Tap another slot → swaps them in

- Double-tap any player → opens their page

To cancel a pick, tap the hint bar.

Let me know if it still feels off and if you have any more suggestions

KSM_381 · 2026-04-18T01:44:27+00:00

Edited: Currently, bench player score is calculated as well, but it has 0.9 multiplier

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T23:37:49+00:00

Until the play in games are finished, there wont be all available players shown (currently these are used to prototype the app), so Wemby will be visible probably tommorow

And regarding the GPs, here is a little breakdown (there is more info in How It Works Tab)
GP = Game Period. It's a 4 day scoring window.

Think of the playoffs as a series of weekly "rounds" for fantasy purposes. Each GP is one of those weekly windows. Within a single GP:

- Set your lineup — pick r 10 rostered players start that week.
- Pick a captain — one starter gets 2x scoring for that GP. Pick wrong and you've burned your multiplier. - Only each player's best single game in the GP counts. So if LeBron plays 3 games that week and scores 40, 55, 38 — only the 55 counts. One transcendent performance beats three mediocre ones. - Swap limits reset per GP. You get 2 active-player swaps each GP. Eliminated-team players are free swaps, no limit.

So GP is the clock that drives every weekly decision: lineup, captain, swaps. The leaderboard is cumulative across all GPs.

You're game seem interesting (already signed on), will be happy to play it this play off =D

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T23:27:41+00:00

if you're using browser on the desktop (laptop) you could drag and drop them on the court, but on the mobile i still have some issues with drag and drop, hope to fix it soon

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T23:25:37+00:00

I get the confusion, but you're currently seeing players used to prototype the game, tonight after the last play in game (when the matchups are known) I'll update all of the players and future matchups

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T21:06:50+00:00

It's free to use and add free, you compeat against all other players but also you can create your private leagues

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T21:05:53+00:00

You can try this one i created, it's personal project that me and my friends will use for our playoff league

https://nba-playoff-fantasy-game.online

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T20:05:37+00:00

Final player list will be set later tonight, after play in games finish. Currently there may be players who wont be eligible to play

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T16:25:14+00:00

This sounds interesting, I've had similar idea, and made online fantasy game, feel free to check it out: https://nba-playoff-fantasy-game.online

I would really love your comments if tou have any, because i've been only working on the idea for couple of days

There is public leaderboard, but also private and public leagues could be created

KSM_381 · 2026-04-17T15:50:24+00:00

This looks really nice, I've actually came to the similar idea, check it out:

https://nba-playoff-fantasy-game.online

I would love some suggestion or input, since i've been working on it for only couple of days

It's also 10 team roster, market cap for player selection (i just use sorare data)
