What players say

Players praise the 90s presentation and CSPN recap shows but agree the game is very early in development. Many say the core sim feels random with no depth chart, play calling, or strategy. Reviews are split on recommending it now, with some comparing it to Football Manager and others calling it a season simulator with little player agency.
