What If? What if Michael Jordan's '81-82 UNC Tar Heels played the undefeated '75-76 Indiana Hoosiers? Want to know who would win in a game between the '86 Celtics and '96 Bulls, or the '77 Canadiens and the '96 Red Wings, or Babe Ruth's '27 Yankees and the Big Red Machine of '75, or even the '85 Bears and '72 Dolphins?

Such questions are at the very root of sports. WhatIfSports simulates games, not just to answer these questions but, to fuel the passion, sense of history and debates that these questions bring about.

It's just more fun to build "All-Time" teams, compare historical rankings or even to mimic the role of a General Manager or head coach than it is to follow the sagas of today's professional athletes.

At WhatIfSports.com, users can do this with SimMatchup, DreamTeams, SimLeagues and Dynasty Games.

SimMatchup - A History Lesson

Using every statistic that it can get its hands on, WhatIfSports.com's free SimMatchup feature allows users to simulate any real, historical or hypothetical NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL or college football and college basketball matchup on a play-by-play, second-by-second basis, to produce comprehensive individual and team statistics. WhatIfSports.com is equipped with historical players and teams from all sports, so no team vs. team 'WhatIf' question can go unanswered.

SimLeagues - Be the General Manager

WhatIfSports.com's SimLeagues go beyond fantasy games, transcending time and putting the user in control. MLB, NHL, NBA and NFL SimLeagues allow users to draft and manage their favorite players from today and yesterday.

Want to play Babe Ruth in the same out field as Willie Mays? Or see what happens with Magic Johnson passing to Larry Bird rather than defending him? Use Joe Montana and Walter Payton in the same backfield, or play Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux on the same line. Maybe you just want to field a team of your childhood heroes, or the legends you wish you'd seen. Maybe you just want to compete against some of your favorite sport's most passionate fans and greatest sports minds. WhatIfSports.com provides all of the opportunities and more.

WhatIfSports.com schedules users to play against 23 other teams created by other users from all over the world. Users manage the day-to-day operations of the team - who starts/who sits, fatigue, injuries, etc. And, each full season league includes standings, comprehensive statistics, league leaders, awards, playoffs, rewards, trades, a waiver wire and a league forum for discussion.

Dynasty Games - Run Your Own Program

WhatIfSports.com's Dynasty Games go another step further, providing full control to the user, in what could be the future of sports gaming. Gridiron Dynasty and Hoops Dynasty games put the user directly into the role of head coach in complete control of a college program and everything that entails - from dealing with prima donna recruits, to balancing academic and athletic issues, setting gameplans and even handling the pressure of winning by the administration and alumni.

Users start at the bottom - Division III - and compete against other users as each tries to work his way to the top of the college coaching world, building programs - and maybe even winning a National Championship or two - in the process. If it can happen in real life, it can happen in a dynasty game.

Want to own and manage an entire baseball, soccer or auto-racing franchise? Try the Hardball Dynasty, Clutch Dynasty or FC Dynasty. Develop athletes, set budgets, compete against others and build a dynasty
