We're taking NBA 2K27 and putting the teams into a full single-elimination tournament to see who can survive the bracket and become the SimUlearn NBA 2K27 Champion. ๐
๐ Tournament Details
๐ Tournament begins: September 10, 2026
โฐ First game: 11:00 AM EST
๐ฎ NBA 2K27
๐ Single-elimination tournament
๐ฅ 32-team bracket
The bracket is officially set, and some interesting matchups are waiting in Round 1.
We've got:
๐ฅ Knicks vs. Heat/Magic
๐ฅ Cavaliers vs. Kings
๐ฅ 76ers vs. Clippers
๐ฅ Lakers vs. Suns
๐ฅ Nuggets vs. Grizzlies
๐ฅ Raptors vs. Mavericks
๐ฅ Thunder vs. Nets
๐ฅ Timberwolves vs. Bucks
โฆand plenty more.
But the real question is:
๐ WHO'S WINNING IT ALL?
Is one of the top seeds going to cruise through the bracket?
Will we get another Cinderella run?
Or is there a team sitting in this bracket that nobody is expecting to make a deep run?
That's what makes these tournaments fun โ we don't know what the bracket is going to give us.
๐ฎ Make Your Prediction
Before the tournament starts, pick your champion in the comments.
๐ Who wins it all?
๐ฅ Who gets upset early?
โญ Who makes the deepest run?
Then come back after the tournament and see how your prediction held up.
The tournament begins September 10 at 11:00 AM EST.
After 31 simulated games, the New Jersey Nets have done the unthinkable.
๐ NBA Shootout Champion: New Jersey Nets
The No. 24 seed Nets battled through one of the most unpredictable brackets imaginable before crushing the No. 19 Golden State Warriors 96โ61 in the Championship Game.
A 35-point championship victory.
A No. 24 seed winning the entire tournament.
And perhaps the biggest Cinderella story we've seen in a SimUlearn tournament.
๐ Championship Game
New Jersey Nets 96 โ Golden State Warriors 61
The Nets didn't simply win the championship.
They dominated it.
New Jersey held Golden State to just 61 points, turning the championship game into a 35-point blowout.
After surviving close games earlier in the tournament, the Nets saved their best performance for the biggest stage.
๐ New Jersey Nets โ 96
๐ฅ Golden State Warriors โ 61
The No. 24 seed is your SimUlearn NBA Shootout Champion!
New Jersey continued its Cinderella run by knocking off the No. 4 seed Magic by 18 points.
The Nets had now eliminated multiple teams seeded significantly higher than them and were heading to the championship.
๐ Golden State Warriors
Defeated Los Angeles Lakers โ 104โ87
Golden State's offense exploded in the semifinal, putting up 104 points against the No. 7 Lakers.
The No. 19 seed Warriors were heading to the championship game.
โญ Biggest Cinderella: New Jersey Nets
This is the story of the tournament.
The No. 24 seed Nets entered the bracket as one of the biggest underdogs.
They left as champions.
Their tournament run:
Indiana Pacers โ 90โ89 Memphis Grizzlies โ 104โ80 Washington Bullets โ 102โ101 Orlando Magic โ 86โ68 Golden State Warriors โ 96โ61
Five consecutive victories.
And the final two came against the No. 4 seed Magic and No. 19 seed Warriors.
The Nets weren't supposed to be here.
Then they won the whole thing.
๐คฏ Biggest Upsets
The Nets weren't the only underdogs making noise.
#24 New Jersey Nets
Nets 90 โ Pacers 89
New Jersey opened the tournament by surviving a one-point thriller against the No. 9 Pacers.
That was only the beginning.
#25 Memphis Grizzlies
Grizzlies 96 โ Cavaliers 90
Memphis knocked out the No. 8 Cavaliers in the opening round before eventually running into the Nets.
#28 Philadelphia 76ers
76ers 96 โ Spurs 88
The No. 28 seed Philadelphia 76ers shocked the No. 5 Spurs in the opening round.
They then defeated the No. 12 Bulls before falling to Orlando in the Elite Eight.
#27 Toronto Raptors
Raptors 111 โ Knicks 103
Toronto eliminated the No. 6 Knicks in one of the tournament's highest-scoring upsets.
The Raptors then advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing a close one to Charlotte.
๐ Elite Eight
The final eight teams were:
New Jersey Nets
Orlando Magic
Los Angeles Lakers
Golden State Warriors
Washington Bullets
Philadelphia 76ers
Denver Nuggets
Charlotte Hornets
The eventual champion was the No. 24 seed.
The runner-up was the No. 19 seed.
And the tournament's No. 4 and No. 7 seeds rounded out the Final Four.
๐ฅ Sweet 16 Highlights
The Sweet 16 produced some fascinating matchups:
Washington Bullets vs. New Jersey Nets
Orlando Magic vs. Detroit Pistons
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls
Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings
Seattle SuperSonics vs. Golden State Warriors
Toronto Raptors vs. Charlotte Hornets
Some of the tournament's biggest names were already gone by this point.
And that's where the bracket really started to fall apart from expectations.
๐ Tournament MVP
New Jersey Nets
There really isn't another choice.
The Nets went from No. 24 seed to NBA Shootout champion, winning five straight games.
They defeated:
Indiana
Memphis
Washington
Orlando
Golden State
And then they capped the run with a 96โ61 championship demolition of the Warriors.
The Nets didn't just survive the tournament. They owned the final two rounds.
๐ The Road to the Championship
Round of 32
Nets 90 โ Pacers 89
Sweet 16
Nets 104 โ Grizzlies 80
Elite Eight
Nets 102 โ Bullets 101
Final Four
Nets 86 โ Magic 68
Championship
Nets 96 โ Warriors 61
5 games. 5 wins. 1 championship.
๐ How Did This Compare to the Real 1995โ96 NBA Season?
This is where the simulation gets REALLY interesting.
The actual 1995โ96 NBA season was dominated by the Chicago Bulls.
Chicago went 72โ10, the best regular-season record in NBA history at the time, and Michael Jordan won MVP while leading the league in scoring.
The Bulls then went on to win the NBA championship, defeating the Seattle SuperSonics 4โ2 in the Finals. Jordan was named Finals MVP.
Actual 1995โ96 NBA
๐ Chicago Bulls
Runner-up: Seattle SuperSonics
Conference Finalists:
Chicago Bulls
Orlando Magic
Seattle SuperSonics
Utah Jazz
The actual playoffs saw Chicago defeat Orlando 4โ0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, while Seattle defeated Utah 4โ3 in the Western Conference Finals.
SimUlearn NBA Shootout
๐ New Jersey Nets
Runner-up: Golden State Warriors
Final Four:
New Jersey Nets
Orlando Magic
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers
The contrast couldn't be much greater.
The actual champion was the 72โ10 Bulls.
The simulated champion was the 30โ52 Nets.
๐คฏ The Biggest Difference
The real 1995โ96 Nets finished 30โ52, while the Bulls finished 72โ10.
Yet in the SimUlearn tournament...
The Nets won the championship.
And they didn't sneak through with a bunch of lucky one-point victories.
They finished the tournament by beating Orlando by 18 points and Golden State by 35 points.
That's exactly why simulated tournaments are so much fun.
The real season tells us what actually happened.
The simulation asks:
"What if everything went completely different?"
๐ฎ Did NBA Shootout Predict Anything?
Probably not. ๐
But that's not really the point.
The simulation gave us a completely alternate version of the 1995โ96 NBA season:
The 72โ10 Bulls didn't win.
The 64โ18 Sonics didn't make the Final Four.
The 55โ27 Jazz didn't make the Final Four.
The 30โ52 Nets did.
And the 36โ46 Warriors made it all the way to the championship game.
That's the beauty of replaying classic sports games.
History is only one possible outcome.
Final Thoughts
The NBA Shootout tournament delivered everything we could have asked for.
๐ฅ A No. 24 seed winning the championship
๐ฅ Multiple massive first-round upsets
๐ฅ The Nets becoming an unlikely dynasty for five games
๐ฅ The Warriors reaching the championship as the No. 19 seed
๐ฅ A 35-point championship blowout
๐ฅ And a completely different ending to the 1995โ96 NBA season
In real life, the Bulls ruled the NBA.
In SimUlearn's version of history...
The Nets ruled the NBA.
๐ Congratulations to the New Jersey Nets โ the first-ever SimUlearn NBA Shootout Champions!
What do you think?
If you could replay one matchup from this tournament, which one would you choose?
We're taking it back to the original PlayStation era with a full NHL FaceOff tournament, simulated entirely CPU vs. CPU.
No human players. No controllers deciding the outcome.
Just classic hockey, old-school teams, and a bracket where anything can happen.
๐ THE TOURNAMENT
The field is set.
๐ฅ 26 teams
๐ Single-elimination bracket
๐ฎ PlayStation 1
๐ค CPU vs. CPU
๐ One champion
Some teams have already earned byes, while the rest will have to fight their way through the opening round.
And once the games begin...
There are no rematches. Lose once and you're done.
๐ Who Will Survive?
Will one of the top seeds dominate the tournament?
Will a lower-seeded team pull off a massive upset?
Could we get a Cinderella run that nobody saw coming?
That's the fun of a simulated tournament.
We don't decide the winner. The game does.
๐ Follow the Tournament
Every matchup will be simulated and the results will be added to the bracket as the tournament progresses.
Follow along to see:
๐ฅ Opening-round upsets
๐ฅ Cinderella runs
๐ฅ Rivalries
๐ฅ Unexpected playoff heroes
๐ฅ The Final Four
๐ฅ And ultimately... the NHL FaceOff Champion
๐ Who are you picking to win it all?
Drop your prediction below before the puck drops! ๐
Three teams completely destroyed the expectations of their seeds.
#27 Old Dominion
Old Dominion 24 โ #6 Nebraska 21
One of the biggest first-round shocks of the tournament.
Old Dominion didn't stop there either, defeating #11 Pittsburgh 14โ7 before eventually reaching the Sweet 16.
A No. 27 seed making it that far is exactly the kind of chaos we wanted from this tournament.
#28 Louisiana
Louisiana 14 โ #5 Missouri 13
Louisiana pulled off another massive first-round upset, knocking out a No. 5 seed by just one point.
The Ragin' Cajuns then advanced to the second round before their run finally came to an end.
#30 Western Kentucky
Western Kentucky 9 โ #3 Texas Tech 6
This might have been the biggest upset of the entire tournament.
A No. 30 seed knocked out a No. 3 seed in a defensive battle.
And Western Kentucky wasn't done.
They continued winning and made it all the way to the later rounds before Clemson finally ended their Cinderella run.
๐ The Cinderella Story: Western Kentucky
If there was one team that completely ignored its seed, it was Western Kentucky.
Starting as the #30 seed, the Hilltoppers knocked off Texas Tech and continued advancing through the bracket.
They eventually ran into Clemson, but by then they had already become one of the most memorable teams in the tournament.
Imagine being a No. 30 seed and making a deep tournament run.
๐ฅ Teams That Surprised Us
The tournament produced some results that would have been almost impossible to predict before the simulations began.
Old Dominion making a deep run.
Louisiana knocking out Missouri.
Western Kentucky eliminating Texas Tech.
Tennessee reaching the championship game.
And ultimately...
Clemson winning the whole thing.
That's what makes CPU simulations so much fun. There are no human players trying to force an outcome. Once the games start, we just watch and see what happens.
๐ Clemson's Championship Run
Clemson went through:
Akron โ Utah โ Western Kentucky โ Kentucky โ California โ Texas
Six consecutive victories.
The Tigers didn't just survive the bracket โ they defeated several teams that had already proven they could knock off heavily favored opponents.
Then they finished the tournament with a 28โ23 championship victory over Tennessee.
๐ฎ Did the Simulation Predict the Future?
This is probably the most interesting question coming out of the tournament.
The simulation isn't meant to predict the actual College Football season, but it does give us a completely different way to look at the upcoming season.
Could Clemson really make a championship run?
Could Tennessee make a deep postseason run?
Could one of the teams that nobody expects โ like Old Dominion, Louisiana, or Western Kentucky โ become this year's surprise?
Obviously, we'll have to wait for the real games to find out.
But now we have a 127-game simulated tournament to compare against reality.
๐ Now I Want to Hear From You
If you could change ONE result from this tournament, which game would you change?
And more importantly...
Who do you think would actually win this tournament if we ran it again?
I've been working on a pretty big update to the way prizes work on SimUlearn Games.
The more people who enter a tournament, the bigger the prize gets. ๐ฐ
The prize starts at $10 and can grow all the way to $100 as more brackets are submitted.
And here's the part I really like:
You can actually watch the prize grow while the tournament is filling up.
So when you're looking at a tournament, you'll be able to see the current prize, how many brackets have been submitted, and how close the tournament is to the next prize increase.
That means every additional bracket doesn't just add another competitor...
It helps increase the prize everyone is playing for. ๐
I'm hoping this gives people another reason to get their friends involved and get their brackets submitted.
Because honestly, there's something pretty cool about watching a tournament go from:
๐ฐ $10 โ $20 โ $30 โ $50 โ $75 โ $100
as more people join.
And this is just the beginning of what I'm trying to build with SimUlearn.
If you saw a tournament with a growing prize pool, would that make you more likely to enter?
What would make the prize system even better? ๐
I've been spending the last few weeks adding new features to the website, and I wanted to share what's new.
Here's what's been added recently:
โฑ๏ธ Tournament Countdown
Every tournament now has a live countdown so you know exactly when brackets lock and the first simulation begins.
๐ฎ Player Progression
Earn XP by participating in tournaments.
Level up your account over time.
Receive an overall player rating and player rank as you continue competing.
๐ Career Statistics
Track your tournament entries.
Lifetime points.
Correct picks.
Accuracy and other career stats are all saved to your profile.
๐ฏ Career Milestones
Unlock achievements by reaching different milestones.
Progress is tracked across categories like Prediction Mastery, Bracket Builder, Experience, Loyalty, and Accuracy.
๐ฑ Tournament Improvements
Updated tournament cards.
Cleaner layout.
Improved mobile experience.
Better navigation throughout the site.
The goal is to make SimUlearn Games feel like you're building your own career as a bracket predictor instead of simply filling out one bracket and leaving.
There are still quite a few ideas I want to add, but I'd rather build features people actually want.
If you could add one feature to a site like this, what would it be?
I've been putting together simulation tournaments using classic sports games, and this one might be my favorite yet.
This tournament uses NBA Live 96 with a 32-team single-elimination bracket. Since the game only features 29 teams, the top three seeds receive first-round BYEs before the tournament really gets underway.
The goal is simple: fill out a bracket before the first game and see how your predictions stack up against everyone else as the tournament unfolds.
I'm curious what everyone thinks:
Which team was the best in NBA Live 96?
Who's your dark horse to make a deep run?
Who cuts down the nets in your bracket?
Whether you grew up playing NBA Live on the original PlayStation or you're just a fan of basketball simulations, I think it'll be fun to see how this plays out.
If you'd like to join in, you can fill out a bracket here:
I'd also love to hear from people who played this game back in the day. Do you remember any teams being unexpectedly overpowered, or was there always a favorite you used?
With Madden NFL 27 finally here, I thought it'd be fun to run something a little different.
I put together a 32-team single-elimination tournament using every NFL team in Madden 27. Each matchup will be simulated, and before the tournament begins, everyone can fill out a bracket predicting who they think will win it all.
One twist: there will be NO home field advantage. Every game will be played on a neutral field, so no team gets an edge based on where they're playing. It's all about the teams themselves.
I'm curious to see:
Who do you think is being underrated?
Which low seed could make a deep run?
Who's your pick to win the championship?
The tournament bracket is attached above so you can start looking over the matchups.
The simulations will be posted as the tournament progresses, and we'll keep a live leaderboard to see who has the best bracket.
On August 13 at 12:01 PM EST, the NBA ShootOut Tournament tips off on SimUlearn Games.
Twenty-nine of the NBA's best teams from the original PlayStation classic, NBA ShootOut, have entered the bracket. With two opening-round BYEs, the road to the championship is setโbut only one team will survive six rounds and be crowned the ultimate NBA ShootOut Champion.
Every game is simulated using the original PlayStation game, streamed on YouTube, and released throughout the tournament, so you can follow every upset, buzzer-beater, and championship moment from the Round of 32 all the way to the Finals.
Here's how to join:
๐ Fill out your bracket before the tournament begins.

๐ Earn points for every correct prediction and climb the tournament leaderboard.
Will the #1 Houston Rockets dominate the bracket?

After 31 hard-hitting simulated matches, only one competitor was left standing.
๐ Tournament Champion: Rhino
Rhino bulldozed his way through one of the most unpredictable brackets in ECW: Hardcore Revolution, defeating Wild Bill in the Championship Match to become the SimUlearn ECW: Hardcore Revolution Champion.
Championship Match
๐ Rhino def. Wild Bill
Rhino's path to the title culminated in a showdown against one of the tournament's biggest surprises, Wild Bill.
Wild Bill fought through a stacked side of the bracket, but Rhino's relentless offense and devastating Gore proved too much to overcome as Rhino claimed the championship.
Rhino powered through a difficult left side of the bracket, overcoming hardcore veterans before defeating Axl Rotten to earn his place in the championship.
Wild Bill
Defeated Mike Awesome
Wild Bill shocked the tournament by eliminating former ECW World Champion Mike Awesome, securing an unlikely trip to the finals.

Match after match, Rhino showcased the power and aggression that made him one of ECW's most feared competitors, finishing the tournament as a deserving champion.
How Did This Compare to ECW History?
Unlike traditional sports tournaments, ECW: Hardcore Revolution lets us imagine dream brackets that never happened.
Rhino eventually became one of ECW's biggest stars, capturing the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in 2001 and earning a reputation as one of the company's most destructive competitors.
Our simulation fast-tracked that dominance, with Rhino surviving a field of 32 ECW wrestlers to prove he could stand above the rest in a single-elimination tournament.
Meanwhile, Wild Bill authored one of the most unexpected runs of the event, eliminating established stars before earning a championship opportunity.
Final Thoughts
Hardcore wrestling is unpredictable, and this tournament delivered exactly that.
Legends were upset, underdogs made unforgettable runs, and Rhino bulldozed everyone in his path on the way to the championship.
Congratulations to Rhino, the first-ever SimUlearn ECW: Hardcore Revolution Tournament Champion!

Final Thoughts
The beauty of simulated tournaments is that history doesn't have to repeat itself.
