You take on the role of a general manager, meticulously building a championship team through drafting, trading, and playbook design, all presented in a functional 2D view.

What players say

Players call this the best American football management sim, comparing it favorably to OOTP, but they are split on polish. Some praise the depth and responsive developer, while others report bugs that break season simming and a free agency system where elite players go unsigned due to unrealistic demands. The yearly updates are seen as marginal.
