Hall of Fame score explained
Every career in Basketball Career ends with a Hall of Fame score from 0 to 100. It's the number you compare with friends and on the Daily Draft and Weekly leaderboards. This page explains what counts and how to raise it.
The five tiers
| Score | Tier | What it usually looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 85 to 100 | Legend | Several rings, MVPs, years at the top and national team gold |
| 70 to 84 | Hall of Famer | A long run as a star, at least one ring, All-League teams |
| 50 to 69 | Club Icon | A starter for years, loved by one team's fans |
| 30 to 49 | Solid Pro | A long pro career in a real role |
| 0 to 29 | Journeyman | A short career, or many teams and a bench role |
What counts
- Team trophies. The biggest single item. A World Championship gold is worth the most, then the continental club cup and the World Club Cup, then a pro league title, a national team continental title or Summer Games gold, then conference titles and cups. High school trophies count a little.
- Individual awards. MVP, Finals MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, scoring titles and All-League teams all add points.
- Career stats. Total points, rebounds, assists and games played. In a women's career these count 30% more, because seasons are shorter.
- National team. Every national team game adds to the score.
- Peak rating. Every OVR point you reach above 65 at your best adds to the score.
- Fan love. Spend three or more seasons with one team and get their fans above 60 out of 100, and that loyalty counts.
The total goes through a curve, so the first big wins move the score a lot and each extra ring after that moves it a little less. Getting from 90 to 95 is much harder than getting from 40 to 60.
How to raise your score
- Win titles. Once you're a star, the offer with the best ring chance is usually worth more than the biggest contract.
- Play for your country. Accept call-ups. National team games and trophies stack up over a career.
- Stay somewhere. Three or more seasons with one team builds fan love, and a statue or a retired jersey shows how much they love you.
- Earn minutes early. A starting role grows your rating faster, and peak rating counts.
- Last longer. More seasons means more stats and more chances at a ring. Avoid gambles with big OVR losses late in a career.
Your career identity
Next to the score you get a career identity, a short label for your story (for example The Hall of Famer, The Fan Favorite or The Journeyman Star), plus your four defining moments and, if you had one, the result of your rivalry.
