It was fun until I joined a new conference that requires you to scout 100 QBs to move to the next level. Even if I priotized scouting every QB each season, which is usually 5 max, that's like 20 seasons (and realistically I usually can only scout 2-3 in any season). This is a gamebreaker. otherwise, decent start to a solid game. Recruiting could be much better (don't reduce the % gain for higher points paid). player heights are extremely unrealistic. hall of fame should allow multiple nominees.

I'm usually pretty good at these games but winning is coming tough. I was 3-8 first season, 4-7 the second one and now am 0-2 in season 3. you have to be both a very good manager and a very good coach. I get the right personel but not the right plays. especially on defense. game is great fun and a very tough challenge. edit (5/28) I'm in 4th year of division 2 and have the highest ratings in the conference but have lost 7 out of 8 games and it's becoming extremely frustrating!

Fun & entertaining game & worth a try despite its flaws.Devs need a better football IQ, or more consistent programming for American football.Have played on & off since beta, and currently in season 38. Everything does opposite of what should be. AI team picks all run plays/ human coaches give all pass def. Haven't lost in 4 yrs, recruits harder to sign,win 3 games in 4 yrs, get great recruits. Training fails too often even if very high or 100% success. Flawed but still challenging enough 2 B fun
