Franchise Player is a narrative basketball career game that runs entirely in your browser. You play one player from the draft to retirement. Every season puts choices in front of you: a contract, a trade, an injury, a locker room tension, a media request. Those decisions shape the stats, the reputation and the legend. A full career takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Note on language: the game itself is currently played in French. These information pages are available in English.
This is not a match simulator. You do not run the plays, you make the decisions that draw a trajectory. The story comes from your choices, not from a fixed script. Two players starting from the same point can end up with very different careers.
The simulation engine is deterministic: from the same starting code, a career replays identically and only your choices differ. Stats, probabilities, awards and the in-game economy are plain, tested code. The game needs no account and no game server: your saves stay in your browser and never leave your device.
Club cities are real, for grounding. Team names, logos, colors, leagues, players and trophies are entirely fictional and original. No real brand is used.
Franchise Player is an independent project. The game is free, with no mandatory account and no pay to progress. A voluntary donation link sits on the home screen and at the end of a career, for anyone who wants to support development. See the Contact page to get in touch.
