Minutes and standing are in points; one point of standing is worth about {perPoint} of trust.","manual.personas.flat":"Everyone: {minutes} minutes, {standing} standing.","manual.personas.heading":"Coaches","manual.personas.import":"As a foreign player: {minutes} minutes, {standing} standing.","manual.personas.neutral":"Treats everyone the same on minutes and on trust.","manual.personas.old":"29 and over: {minutes} minutes, {standing} standing.","manual.personas.style":"Two of them change nothing about how much you play and a great deal about how you play: a grinder slows the game and pushes you to the defensive end, a run-and-gun coach speeds it up and puts you behind the arc. That is how a scorer finds out he has become a defender.","manual.personas.trust":"Gives trust at {gain}x and takes it back at {loss}x.","manual.personas.young":"Under 22: {minutes} minutes, {standing} standing.","manual.trust.asymmetry":"It is not symmetrical, and it is worth knowing that before it happens to you. Outplaying your pay band moves trust about {gain} points a rung. Underplaying it moves about {loss} the other way.","manual.trust.body":"Trust is not a mood. It is the club's reading of you at the moment it signs you, and it is measured against what it is paying you. Play like the man on the cheque and it holds. Play below him and it falls.","manual.trust.heading":"Coach trust","manual.trust.lie":"The number on an offer is what the club intends at signing. Intentions do not always survive a season. That is not a fault in the number, it is the thing the number cannot promise.","manual.contents.label":"On this page","manual.floorFrom":"from {value}","manual.run.heading":"A run","manual.run.lane.term":"Short, Medium, Long","manual.run.lane.body":"Short plays itself: pick a country and a spot on the floor, then watch a career happen, stepping in only for your contract and the moments off the court. Medium hands you a handful of development choices each season on top of that. Long hands you every one of them, plus the trade deadline and a say in who represents you.","manual.run.seed.term":"Seed","manual.run.seed.body":"Every career is drawn from one number. Play the same seed and make the same calls and you get the same career back, which is what lets a shared career be replayed rather than only read about. Type a specific seed into the first screen instead of a random one, or open a link somebody sent you to try their exact player for yourself.","manual.run.decision.term":"A decision","manual.run.decision.body":"The game puts a short question in front of you and waits for one tap. A season does not repeat a question — answer it, or leave it, and either way the season moves on.","manual.run.rail.term":"The season rail","manual.run.rail.body":"The row of marks under your name counts seasons you have actually finished, one mark each, plus one still open for the season under way. It has no total to fill, because nothing in this game schedules your retirement in advance.","manual.run.theme.term":"The look","manual.run.theme.body":"Left alone, the game follows your phone's own light or dark setting. Change it at any time from More, at the bottom of the screen.","manual.player.heading":"Your player","manual.player.ovr.term":"Rating","manual.player.ovr.body":"One rating is what you can do for a team right now, and the word beneath it says nothing the number does not already say — only the same claim in a word instead of a figure.","manual.player.ceiling.term":"Ceiling","manual.player.ceiling.body":"Every player is given a ceiling before their first decision. This page will not name it, or any of the words a youth coach might use to describe one. It caps what you can become; whether you reached it is a question only the epilogue answers, in his voice, never as a number.","manual.player.archetype.term":"Archetype","manual.player.archetype.body":"Play long enough and the game reads your box scores and names the kind of player you turned out to be. You never choose it — it is a reading of what actually happened, never a label you picked at the start:","manual.player.archetype.stretch":"The reading is taken from your defining stretch: the {seasons} consecutive seasons in which you played the most minutes. The rows are checked from the top, and the first one your numbers fit is your name.","manual.player.archetype.reading":"You never choose it. The game reads it off what you actually did on the floor.","manual.player.archetype.col.name":"Name","manual.player.archetype.col.reads":"What the game reads","manual.player.archetype.col.position":"Position","manual.player.archetype.read.minutes":"minutes a game","manual.player.archetype.read.usage":"share of your team's possessions you finish","manual.player.archetype.read.threePointRate":"share of your shots from three","manual.player.archetype.read.defensiveLoad":"how much of the defence you carry","manual.player.archetype.bound.atLeast":"at least {value}","manual.player.archetype.bound.atMost":"at most {value}","manual.player.archetype.bound.under":"under {value}","manual.player.archetype.condition":"{read}: {bound}","manual.player.archetype.group.any":"any position","manual.player.archetype.groupOnly":"{group} only ({positions})","manual.player.archetype.fallback":"also your name when no row below fits","manual.player.arc.term":"Age, and the arc","manual.player.arc.body":"Development is fastest young and slows as the mid-twenties arrive; past that, the same forces that once grew you start taking a little back. The career page draws this as a line — where you started, how high you climbed, and where you ended up.","manual.player.aging.term":"How players age","manual.player.aging.body":"A career peaks around 26 to 27. Heavier minutes bring the peak earlier; a higher ceiling and a guard's position bring it later. After the peak, rebounds, blocks and steals fall first and shooting and passing hold longest. Point guards fall hardest after 32. A higher ceiling also means a gentler fade. After the peak the fall is real: most careers end in the late thirties.","manual.player.aging.row":"{months} months from the middle, {cliff}","manual.player.aging.cliff.late":"falls fastest at the end","manual.player.aging.cliff.even":"falls evenly","manual.offerBoard.heading":"The offer board","manual.offerBoard.card.term":"The offer","manual.offerBoard.card.body":"Every offer shows five things: the club and the league it plays in, the money, the role you would be signed into, the trust your coach states at signing, and which competitions the club plays in. Everything else below is one of those five, or something built around them.","manual.offerBoard.role.body":"A club signs you into one of five rungs, from your rating, a little for being young enough to still be worth waiting for, and the squad already ahead of you. The rung is the single biggest thing on the card, because it is minutes, and minutes are how a season becomes a player.","manual.offerBoard.role.unit":"Minutes a game, about.","manual.offerBoard.money.term":"Money","manual.offerBoard.money.body":"The salary is what the club believes it bought. Outplay it and trust grows; get paid like a starter and play like a bench man and trust falls faster than it would have at a smaller number.","manual.offerBoard.competitions.body":"A club's card names every stage it plays on beyond its own league: a continental cup such as {bcl} or {eurocup}, the continent's top competition, {euroleague}, or the league some countries just call {theLeague}. A card with none of those still plays a full season — it just plays it at home.","manual.offerBoard.trust.body":"The number is a club's stated confidence in you at signing, and these four words are the only labels the game puts on it, rising in this order:","manual.offerBoard.titleOdds.body":"The bar shows how often this club wins its league. The league colour is the club's own chance; the orange on the end is what your role adds, and the caption says how much. Clubs rise and fall a little from season to season, so the same club can read differently in a later summer. Beside the number is a word for the odds, rising in this order:","manual.offerBoard.wayHome.term":"The way home","manual.offerBoard.wayHome.body":"Playing abroad, the board sets aside a place for a club from your own country and, where it applies, a re-sign offer from the club you already play for — real cards on the board rather than something you have to hope gets drawn.","manual.offerBoard.memory.term":"A club that remembers you","manual.offerBoard.memory.body":"A club you have played for before carries a small badge for how it remembers the parting: well, plainly, or badly. It is a reading of history, not a promise about what this new offer is worth.","manual.offerBoard.agentPick.term":"The agent's pick","manual.offerBoard.agentPick.body":"Your agent marks one offer as the one they would take, and says why in a line under it — development, minutes, level, trust, or value. It is an opinion sitting on the board, not a hidden extra option.","manual.offerBoard.yearOut.term":"Sitting a year out","manual.offerBoard.yearOut.body":"Refuse every offer on the board and the season plays out without you. The clubs that wanted you remember that you said no, and a new board is waiting for you the following summer regardless.","manual.offerBoard.negotiate.term":"Asking for more","manual.offerBoard.negotiate.body":"Tap a card to ask for more of one thing at a time — money, a bigger role, a shorter deal. Each ask shows its odds first. You can go back to the other offers at any point without spending anything, and ask several cards before you sign one. Only the signature is final.","manual.offerBoard.aim.term":"What you are playing for","manual.offerBoard.aim.body":"You choose it once, when the career starts, and it stays. It changes what the hints say beside the offers and nothing else — no score, no grade, and nothing about what actually happens on the court.","manual.season.heading":"The season","manual.season.minutes.term":"The minutes cap","manual.season.minutes.body":"Whatever a rung promises and a coach bends up or down, nobody plays more than {cap} minutes a night. A season is built from the games actually played, never the number printed on the card.","manual.season.training.term":"Training points","manual.season.training.body":"Development spends {total} points a season, and up to {directable} of them can be pointed at one of four tracks — {tracks}. However many the lane in front of you actually asks about, an unanswered point is still spent; the game just spends it the way it always has. You may also name one shape you are aiming for, and the game marks which option leans toward it — naming one changes nothing about how much you grow, only where it goes.","manual.season.events.term":"Off-court","manual.season.events.body":"Between games, the game puts a two-sided situation in front of you with two ways to answer it. Each side carries its own share of a hundred, shown before you choose, and up to five voices — coach, agent, press, club, fans — react to what actually happened once you have, arriving one at a time as a career goes on.","manual.season.moments.term":"Moments","manual.season.moments.body":"Some seasons earn a line of their own: a season-ending honour read off the box scores after the fact, the same way an archetype is. It never changes what happened — it only names it.","manual.season.milestones.term":"Milestones","manual.season.milestones.body":"Your career total for games, points, seasons, countries or caps sometimes crosses a round number — 500 games, 10,000 points. The season that happens, it prints as a card. It is a fact, never a rank: nothing here says how that number compares to anyone else's.","manual.season.bars.term":"The six bars","manual.season.bars.body":"Six readings, printed after the season's numbers and kept on your career page: fans (how the crowd here feels about you, from this spell), media (how much the press is covering you right now), club reputation (what this club thinks of you, on and off the record), agent confidence (how much of the market can currently see you), teammates chemistry (how long you've shared a locker room with the players around you), and Hall of Fame (your case for it, so far — it never falls).","manual.season.boxScore.term":"Box score","manual.season.boxScore.body":"Every season ends with one short line — points, rebounds, assists a game — the plain record of what the season actually held.","manual.summer.heading":"The summer","manual.summer.freeAgency.term":"Free agency","manual.summer.freeAgency.body":"Sign a fresh offer as given, or push for more first: the money, the minutes, or a player option that lets you leave a year early. A club can simply say no to any of the three.","manual.summer.agentWindow.term":"The agent window","manual.summer.agentWindow.body":"Two people occasionally ask to represent you. Choosing between them decides only which clubs' calls reach you — nothing about a season or a contract changes because of who is making the calls.","manual.summer.tradeDeadline.body":"A club can bring someone in over you mid-season. When that happens you choose: finish the year where you are, or ask your agent to find you a new home before the deadline passes. There may be nobody with room for you, in which case you finish the year regardless.","manual.summer.declare.term":"Going into the draft","manual.summer.declare.body":"From 19 you are asked each summer whether to go into the draft. You get one shot and the window closes after 22: declare and that is your draft, wait too long and you are never picked. Nothing else is withheld either way, and free agency still exists.","manual.summer.projection.term":"Where you project","manual.summer.projection.body":"Before you answer, you are told where scouts see you: top-5 pick, lottery, late first, early second, late second, or not picked. It reads four things — how good you are, how good you could still get, how many people have watched you play, and how young you are. It is a reading and not a promise: draft night has a swing of its own.","manual.summer.combine.term":"The combine","manual.summer.combine.body":"In the summer you go in, you can attend the combine or skip it. Attending measures you in front of every team. It leans your way: it lifts you a band far more often than it costs you one, and you see which way it went before the draft. Skipping changes nothing: teams go into draft night with what they already had on you.","manual.summer.draft.term":"Draft night","manual.summer.draft.body":"For a player eligible for it, draft night is an offer board wearing a different shape: a first-round pick is a guaranteed contract, a second-round pick is three years of nothing guaranteed, and going undrafted just means the offers that follow come from Europe instead.","manual.summer.nationalTeam.term":"The national team, and caps","manual.summer.nationalTeam.body":"Your country calls you up or it does not; there is no asking either way. A cap is proof, permanent and printed on your career, that you were briefly one of the twelve best players your country had — worth far more to a career built at a small club than to one already at the top.","manual.ending.heading":"The ending","manual.ending.epilogue.body":"Five years after you retire, the game checks back in: where the game left you, what a few more years did to that, and — last of all — your youth coach, telling you plainly whether he was right about you.","manual.ending.rival.term":"The rival","manual.ending.rival.body":"Someone came up the same year you did, out of a different country, and the game keeps half an eye on them for the rest of your career: whether they moved up, dropped a level, or stopped playing altogether.","manual.ending.calls.body":"The same seed, played with every decision left at its default, is a second career running quietly beside yours. The gap between the two is entirely the decisions — same ceiling, same world, same everything else.","manual.ending.careerPage.body":"Everything a career actually held, in one place: every season, every club, every honour, read back rather than folded into a single score.","manual.ending.shareLink.term":"The share link","manual.ending.shareLink.body":"Sending someone your career sends them a seed and a set of choices, not a picture of what you did. Opening it plays their own run of that exact player — same ceiling, same offers, same years — and whatever they choose from there is theirs.","manual.ending.careerCard.term":"The career card","manual.ending.careerCard.body":"A career card is built to be shared: what it holds and where you played, never the ceiling you were given or whether you reached it. That reveal stays where only you can see it.","manual.across.heading":"Across careers","manual.across.album.body":"Every club you have signed for and every honour you have won, across every career this device has played, collected in one place. Nothing here changes a run in progress; it only remembers the ones already finished.","manual.across.cabinet.body":"The cabinet adds up everything every career on this device has ever won or played, permanently. A collection goal is a fixed target read off that same total, always shown with what you have next to what it takes, never as a bare count.","manual.across.equipment.body":"Seven positions — {slots} — each holding one earned item, worn from your first day and carried in the share link to whoever plays this career next. Rarity — {common}, {rare}, {legendary} — says only how hard a piece was to earn, never how strong it is. It never reaches into the simulation itself, so nobody else's career is any different for what you have unlocked.","negotiation.ask.minutes":"ask for the minutes","negotiation.ask.money":"ask for the money","negotiation.ask.sign":"sign it","negotiation.ask.years":"ask for a player option","negotiation.continue":"continue","negotiation.commit.hint":"Pick one above.","negotiation.gain.money":"+{money}","negotiation.gain.none":"Nothing to gain here.","negotiation.gain.years":"1+{option}","negotiation.odds.explained":"The odds are what the club thinks of you, less what the ask costs it.","negotiation.odds.label":"chance they agree","negotiation.odds.rebuff":"If they say no, the offer stands, and the coach starts the year trusting you a little less.","negotiation.header":"{club} · age {age}","negotiation.offer.heading":"The offer on the table","negotiation.offer.money":"a year","negotiation.offer.role":"role","negotiation.offer.years.one":"one year","negotiation.offer.years.other":"{count} yrs","negotiation.outcome.contract.one":"One year. {role}, {money}.","negotiation.outcome.contract.other":"1+{option}. {role}, {money}.","negotiation.outcome.granted":"They agreed.","negotiation.outcome.refused":"They would not move.","negotiation.outcome.refused.option":"They want you committed.","negotiation.outcome.sign":"Signed as offered.","negotiation.prompt.body":"Sign it as offered, or push once for more.

It says what changed and never what a change is worth — the numbers and your own ceiling stay exactly where they were, which is out of sight.","patchNotes.decide.heading":"New to decide","patchNotes.decide.lanes":"Every length of game asks you something now. The short run directs its own training and negotiates its own contracts; the medium run gained the trade deadline. Nothing about the simulation changed — the questions were always being asked, and two of the three lengths were quietly answering them on your behalf.","patchNotes.decide.offseason":"Every summer you are signed for is yours to spend: rest, work, or let it pass. Letting it pass is exactly the game you were playing before. The other two are a fork you hold for a decade, and neither end of it is free.","patchNotes.decide.oath":"You may swear one rule to yourself before you start — one club, one country, the hardest room, the money — and then nothing. No counter, no reminder, no reaction when you break it. The end tells you whether you kept it, and the silence in between is the feature.","patchNotes.decide.offCourt":"Sixteen new moments away from the court where both answers cost you something. Go home for the funeral and lose your place in the rotation, or travel with the squad and spend the season somewhere else in your head. There is no free answer, and the two do not cost the same thing.","patchNotes.decide.oddsStakes":"Every off-court decision now shows what it is offering — both halves of its odds, and roughly what is at stake on it. What it still will not tell you is whether you have read the room, which is the half that actually decides it.","patchNotes.decide.titleOdds":"Every club on the offer board now says how often it actually wins something, so going after a trophy is a thing you can plan rather than a thing you find out.","patchNotes.decide.oddsColour":"On an off-court decision the favourable half of each split is now green and the other half red, so which way the bet runs reads at a glance.","patchNotes.see.rivalYear":"The player who came up alongside you now tells you what he did that year, in a sentence, instead of a row of marks you had to decode.","patchNotes.see.tidier":"The season screen says each of its numbers once, and only colours one that really moved.","patchNotes.decide.yearOut":"You can turn down the whole board. Not one offer — all of it, and take the year. The clubs that wanted you remember that you said no, some of them for longer than a year, and the season you did not play is a season nobody else stops playing.","patchNotes.decide.forks":"Twenty-eight more decisions land inside an ordinary working week — a strength coach who wants weight added to you, an evening language class, a rival club that rings you instead of ringing your agent. None of them is dramatic. They are the weeks a career is actually made of, and neither answer is free.","patchNotes.see.heading":"New to see","patchNotes.see.passport":"Before you pick a position, the game tells you what your country has produced and what your ceiling will be measured against. The same rung has always read differently depending on the passport you carry; it had simply never been said out loud.","patchNotes.see.ladder":"The ladder you are climbing is on the screen from your first season, named in your own country's words, with your own rung left blank. You get the shape of the question at seventeen. The answer still waits for the youth coach at the end.","patchNotes.see.rival":"One player out of your own intake is visible across the years. He was always in there. You just never met him until it was over.","patchNotes.see.refusals":"The offers you turned down are printed beside the year you turned them down, on the season you played instead.","patchNotes.see.attributes":"Your ten attributes are one tap away in every length of game, with what moved since last season and which way your own training bent you. They used to appear once, at retirement, far too late to direct anything.","patchNotes.see.coachClub":"Where you sign bends what you grow into. A coach's way of working pulls at your development every season, in the same currency your own training spends and far more quietly, so a few years in one place makes you a visibly different player without ever out-voting what you chose.","patchNotes.see.injury":"An injury leaves a mark. It used to be games missed and a number. It is now the season it took, the comeback, a line on your timeline and something the ending can speak to. How often it happens is exactly what it was.","patchNotes.see.voices":"Your agent, the press, the club and the supporters speak in every length of game, not only the longest one.","patchNotes.see.retrospective":"Your career is written out at the end, above the totals, drawn from your own record.","patchNotes.see.languages":"The game speaks seven languages now, picked from the foot of any screen: English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Arabic. Every voice, every off-court moment and every ending is translated, not only the buttons, and the two that read right to left are laid out that way rather than mirrored.","patchNotes.see.archetypes":"The player you turned out to be is named at the end, drawn from what you actually did: possessions finished, shots taken from outside, defensive load carried, minutes played. Every name in that vocabulary can be reached now. The ones that had quietly become unreachable were the ones an ordinary career kept landing on, and one of them is the title of this game.","patchNotes.keep.heading":"New to keep","patchNotes.keep.loadout":"What one career wins, the next one can wear. A title, a place in the All-League team, fifteen years at one club — each leaves something behind, and a seventeen-year-old who starts out wearing it is a better player than he would have been. That is what you carry in, not a promise about how it ends: a stronger seventeen-year-old is offered a different set of clubs, and a different set of clubs is a different career — never the same one with a better player in it. The ones you have not earned sit on the shelf with their condition written on them.","patchNotes.keep.daily":"One seventeen-year-old a day, the same one for everybody in the world: same ceiling, same offers, same dice. Only judgement differs.","patchNotes.keep.share":"Your share card asks somebody to play your player rather than to look at your numbers. The seed travels with it, so whoever opens it starts where you started.","patchNotes.keep.frozen":"A career you have already finished or handed to somebody still replays exactly as it did. Nothing in this release can change a career that already exists.","patchNotes.keep.album":"The collection is called the album, which is what it was always called, and the length picker asks how long you want to play instead of presenting itself as a setting.","patchNotes.keep.contact":"There is a page where you can reach the person who made this: report a bug with your seed attached so the career can be replayed exactly, see where the club crests came from, and read plainly what happens to your data.","patchNotes.keep.bloodline":"When a career is over you can play his son. He is born where his father settled, he carries something of what his father was built to become, and the clubs that knew the father know the name.

We hold the account's id, what you have earned, and the display name you pick for yourself.
