What Above the Rim does not do for you:
- Run on the Internet or allow you to run 'online' leagues. The software is meant to run by the league commissioner on his/her PC.
- Run head-to-head leagues. Although this capability is planned for a future release, ATR can only run rotisserie ("ranked and ordered") style leagues.
- Simulate past seasons. ATR is meant to be a "live" game where you can actually watch your players as you run your teams. This keeps you much more interested in the entire NBA, not just your favorite team(s).
