The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You take on the dual role of coach and manager, methodically building a team through trades, drafts, and play-calling in a realistic football sandbox.

What players say

Players describe Football Legend as a promising but unfinished GM simulator that needs more polish. They note frequent updates but point to a bug where coaches are fired for no reason and a draft logic that lets a fullback go first overall. Some compare it to Front Office Football.
