Complete Preseason

Carry over 70 players on your roster during the preseason, and make the tough decisions on roster spots as opening day approaches.

Weekly Practice Schedules

Get ready for the big game by fine-tuning your practice schedule. Focus on scrimmages until your team knows the playbook inside and out. Hit the weight rooms to increase your line's stamina. Or, give players some free time to rest and relax.

Unique Team & Player Morale Modeling

Lesser teams with high morale will often overachieve while talented squads with malcontents will struggle. Almost everything you do in the game, from promising players' roles to how strenuous your practice schedules are will impact your team's morale (and their performance on the field). Player morale is also displayed visually in the player's photo.

Fine-Tune your Gameplan

Choose how much, or how little, control you want over the gameplan. Manage playbooks, packages, gameplans and offensive and defensive sets.

Flexible Play-Calling System

Tailor play-calling to your strengths and weaknesses. Call both offensive and defensive plays, or choose to focus only on one side of the ball. You can also defer all play-calling to the coordinators using a gameplan and overall strategy you create.

Unique Offensive & Defensive Philosophies

Use real pro football philosophies on both sides of the ball to define your team's approach to the game. Focus on a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive formation. Try the quick-strike "Vertical Passing" game or run a "Smash Mouth" ball control offense. If you have the personnel, try some of the more skill-orientated offenses such as the "West Coast" or "Run ‘N Gun." Be careful though, as once a philosophy is chosen, a team must stick to it all season!
